VANGUARD. 



1S43. 



This year the executive made an important 

 alteration in their programme, the race, which had 

 been re-christened " The Liverpool and National 

 Steeplechase," becoming a handicap for the first 

 time ; whilst as they were no longer afraid of poor 

 old Lottery, the conditions were so altered that 

 winners from the date of declaration were to carry 

 5 lb. extra only, instead of the 18 lb. they were wont 

 to compliment him with. 



The wall, too, which had been done away with 

 the previous year, was again revived on a smaller 

 scale, being 4 feet high, constructed masonically 

 with a layer of turf on the top. 



hiteresting as usual, the attraction on this occa- 

 sion was curiosity to see whether Peter Simple, who 

 had recently displayed extraordinary powers, would 

 go on and establish a permanent reputation for him- 

 self as a horse of the people.
