The Race. 



In the pouring rain the horse.s were despatched 

 on their journey at 3 o'clock to a capital start, 

 The Returned at once going to the front. All went 

 well to the third fence when Heslington refused, as 

 did Robinson two fences further on. The Returned 

 was now passed by Tom Tug, whose jockey was 

 quite unable to hold him, and The Romp. At the 

 fence after Becher's Peter Simple fell, whilst later on 

 Charity came down at the artificial water. On 

 going into the country for the second time, Peter 

 Simple, who had been remounted, caught them up. 

 Tom Tug, Marengo, The Returned, and Lather 

 jumped on to the race-course abreast, but Discount,
