1841. 



The conditions of the race this year included the 

 proviso that the winner of the Cheltenham Steeple- 

 chase in 1840 should carry 18 lb. extra. This 

 race of course was framed expressly tor the benefit 

 of Lotter)', who had already won the race in ques- 

 tion at the time the conditions were framed. It 

 savs much therefore for Mr. Elmore's belief in his 

 horse's powers that he should have run Lottery 

 with such a crusher as 1 3 st. 4 lb. on his back. 

 As mii^ht have been expected the weight told, 

 the more so, as the pace was severe throughout, 

 and Jim Mason therefore pulled Lottery up when 

 he found he had no chance of winning. 



In view of the accident of the previous year, 

 the wall was dispensed with on this occasion, and 

 an artificial l^rook, ten feet wide and three deep, 

 masked by a thick fence, substituted.
