13/8 on Stedfast, 9/2 agst. TagaHe, 5/1 Prince Palatine, 

 lO/i Lycaon, 33/1 Silesia, loo/i La Boheme II., 150/1 King 

 Wilham. Won by a short head, 6 lengths second and third. 



I have one brief comment to add on the foregoing. 

 Rickaby is severely criticised. His career has been 

 not a little remarkable. As a boy he rapidly 

 acquired the art of jockeyship and won a considerable 

 number of races, maintaining a good average. Then 

 he seemed to lose his riding altogether, but happily 

 he recovered it, and is at the time of writing, as he 

 has been for the last three or four years, one of the 

 most capable of contemporary horsemen. I am 

 inclined to regard him on the whole as at present 

 inferior to none of his profession. 



Prince Palatine went to Doncaster to run for the 



Cup, but the outcome of his visit can scarcely be 



looked on as a race, for he was only opposed by a 



very moderate mare belonging to Sir John Thursby. 



What was thought of the affair is shown by the fact 



that odds of 20 to i were laid on Prince Palatine, 



who cantered home at his ease.
