HKROES AND HKROINES OF 



up the running. Nothing of moment occurred until 

 the tirst bank beyond Becher's Brook, when La 

 Gazza Ladra refused, causing Geraldus, Pride of 

 the North, Tiniothy and one or two others to do 

 the sanie. Burnt Sienna now put on the steam and 

 led over Valentine's Brook six lengths in front of 



W. ARCHER ON THERESA.

Crabbs. Pretty much the same order was main- 

 tained to the water in front of the stand, which was 

 cleared by Burnt Sienna and Lady Arthur two 

 lengths ahead of the others. 



At the post and rails before Becher's Brook, 

 Oscar was knocked over by Peter, Darling being 

 thrown heavily.
