164 STEEPLE CHASE CALENDAR. 



FIFTH DRAGOON GUARDS' CHALLENGE CUP. 



At page 38, in the sport of the year 1839, will be found under 

 " York " the winners of the Fifth Dragoon Guards' Challenge Cup, 

 from the first contest for it in 1834 down to the close for that season ; 

 since then, just in fact as this sheet was going to press, we were 

 favoured with a communication from an Officer of the regiment, which 

 adds the winners to the concluding chase in 1841, when, having been 

 won three times by Capt. J. W. King, it became according to the 

 conditions his property. As our account differs in one or two minor 

 particulars from the one forwarded, and to make the epitome complete, 

 we give it entire.
