STEEPLECHASING 



Ambush II., Trade Mark, Pistache, Barsac, Lotus Lily, 

 Fairy Queen, Electric Spark, Sheriff Hutton, Whiteboy 

 II., Little Norton, and Corner. 



Sheriff Hutton jumped off at once on the fall of the 

 flag, but, on settling down. Corner galloped to the front 

 and led the way over the second fence, where The 

 Sapper came down heavily. After crossing Valentine's 

 Brook, Mum went on with the running. Gentle Ida falling 

 at that obstacle. The second time round Barsac led 

 for a short distance, with Manifesto lying behind ; but 

 three fences from home Manifesto took the lead and won 

 amid great cheering by five lengths, two lengths between 

 second and third. Drogheda, who won in the preceding 

 year, was unable to start owing to a strained hock, and it 

 may be mentioned that the French competitor, Pistache, 

 who scored five victories in the preceding season under 

 a professional in her native country, was on this occasion 

 ridden by her owner, Count de Geloes.
