LIVERPOOL 157 



secured the third place, Casse Tete beating Scarrington 

 by six lengths. Time 10 minutes 14^ seconds. Primrose 

 (third in 1870) came to grief during the race, broke her 

 back, and was destroyed, her rider and owner (Mr. W. R. 

 Brockton) sustaining several severe injuries, three or four 

 of his ribs being broken, and his face badly cut. Nuage, 

 Harvester, Schiedam, and Marin also met with mishaps, 

 but only that to Harvester was of a serious nature. 

 Since last year Mr. Topham had effected several altera- 

 tions in the grand stand and ring, the balcony of the 

 former being made into a large private stand for the 

 stewards and their friends, whilst the ring had been 

 considerably enlarged by taking in a portion of the 

 course at the back of the weighing-room, in which a 

 very substantial stand was built, with a refreshment- 

 room underneath. By this enlargement of the ring 

 trainers had an increased accommodation for saddlino- 

 purposes.
