LIVERPOOL 91 



Lottery was the Cheltenham winner, the penalty was 

 nothing more nor less than a personal penalty for Elmore's 

 horse. However, his owner had such faith in Lottery's 

 powers that he started him, though he had to carry 1 3 st. 

 4 lbs. 



The starters were : 



Lord Craven ns " Charity "... Mr. Powell . . . i 

 Mr. Anderson's "Cigar" .... „ A. McDonough 2 

 Hon. F. Craven's " Peter Simple " . ,, Walker ... 3 



Also Started Lord Villiers's Goblin, Captain Nugent's 

 The Hawk, Mr. Robertson's Legacy, Mr. Elmore's 

 Lottery, Mr. Villebois ns Revealer, Captain Price's Selim, 

 Sir E. Mostyn's Seventy-Four, Mr. Smith's Oliver 

 Twist. The betting was confined to four horses : 7 to 2 

 each against Lottery and Cigar, 7 to i against Peter 

 Simple, 10 to I against Oliver Twist, and 5 to 4 against 

 Lottery and Cigar coupled. 



On the present occasion the wall was dispensed with, 

 and an artificial brook, ten feet wide and three feet deep, 

 masked by a thick fence, substituted. In crossing a deep- 

 ploughed field Oliver Twist over-reached and fell, and 

 in his struggles tore off one shoe and part of his hoof. 

 The weight told upon Lottery, who was pulled up when 

 Jem Mason saw that he could not possibly win, and after 

 a good race Charity won by a length from Cigar, who 

 was half a length in front of Peter Simple, these three 

 being the only horses placed. The distance was four 

 miles ; there were thirty-five fences, and the time was 

 given as 13 minutes 23 seconds.

There was a capital field of horses this year, and 

 once more did the conditions impose a penalty on the 

 winner of the Cheltenham race of 1840. Old Lottery
