22 THE GRAND NATIONAL. 



Charity, Ci_<4'ar, and Lottery — the latter of whom 

 had by this time had about enough of it — jumped 

 the hedge out of the lane nearly abreast, but 

 Charity was the first to land on the race-course, 

 two or three leno-ths ahead of the other two, who 

 in a few strides were joined by Peter Smiple, 

 Revealer, The Hawk. Seventy Four, and Goblin, 

 the spectacle, as the lot entered the straight course 

 in a line, being of the most animated description. 



A quarter of a mile from home only Charity and 

 the two erevs were in it, a tremendous race home 

 ensuinor between the trio. 



It was anybody's race in fact until the final 

 hurdle was reached, where a scrimmage occurred, 

 and Charity gaining a two lengths' advantage, went 

 on and won by that distance, a neck separating 

 second and third. 



Time: 13 minutes 25 seconds.
