Magpie, Mr. St. Leger on Crinolette, Captain Turner on a pony, 

 Mr. Sniktaw on Contrariety, Captain Rawlinson on his new mare, 

 Mr. Anderson on Commissioner, the Old Man on a Young 'Un, 

 Mr. Eden on a bay, Mr. Dangerfield on liuck, Mr. Butler on 

 liadminton (late Toby), Mr. Murray on Maud, Mr. B. on a grey, 

 Captain Hunt on a black, Captain Garland on a C. 1>., Mr. Showers on 

 a brown, Dr. Clark on a bay, Mr. Barnes on a bay, Mr. Kidston on a 

 pony, Mr. Evans Lombe on a C. B., and a good many others who 

 must forgive me for not remembering their names. 



A good dozen cleared the first hurdle, but the first mud wall stopped 

 a few. The Major among the number ; Badminton, Sir Launcelot, Buck 

 and Zig Zag got well away, but the next hurdle did for the Ex- Deputy, 

 who had to trudge the rest of the journey on foot. Maud crept up into 

 the front rank, coming across to the Monsoon Road, where Duggie 

 found a soft spot, and parted company with his mount. The screw 

 pme jump did for Mr. Kidston, who was riding gallantly on a little 

 pony ; but we are behind the leaders who are putting on the pace as 

 they spot the gallery in the distance : Mr. Murray was first over the last 

 mud wall, but taking rather a wide turn let up Buck and Badminton, 

 these racing home in good form. Buck was quickest over the las; 

 hurdle, and passed the flag first, fully half a length in front of Maud, 

 who just beat Badminton by a head for second place, Contrariety fourth, 

 Blackstone fifth, and Crinolette sixth. The remainder of the field came 

 in at intervals evidently much pleased with the morning's ride, and so 

 ended the second chase The names of the first six are now read out 

 immediately after the chase, and no objection holds unless proved and. 

 rectified on the spot. 



There was not a very large turn-out yesterday morning to witness the 

 third meet, neither did the starters muster so strong, but it was a most 

 enjoyable paperchase all the same. It is pleasant to record a lady's- 

 name in the first half dozen this week, and should Mrs. Murray come in 

 for the Cup presented by our sporting friend, Ballygunge would re-echo- 

 the cheers accorded to Mrs. Cook when she landed " Champion ^' a 

 winner of the Cup in 1882. 



The course started a little this side of Jodhpore Thannah, over a 

 hurdle and green bank out into the open where last week's chase 

 finished, then on to the screw pine jumps across the Monsoon Road 

 and away out by the Salt Water Lakes, returning home through the 

 village by the Jodhpoie railway station and finishing in the open ground, 

 by the Station Road. The going was again all that could be desired, 

 and we only heard a rumour of one spill, at least we were told one mar- 

 was seen astride a mud wall scratching his head.
