Fciirwintl, a position he held to the water, at which 

 Regal was last, two hundred yards in the rear. 



At the second fence out in the country, Fairwind 

 refused, but was quickly set i^oino- again. Ko change 

 occurred during the next mile, W^oodbrook again 

 leading on to the race-course with Montauban and 

 New Glasgow still in attendance, Cross Question 

 dividing him from Captain Machell's pair, and The 

 Liberator whipping them in. Cross Question now 

 began to fall away, and Regal took second place, New- 

 Glasgow third with Abbot of St. Mary's and The 

 Scot on the outside, and Thorniield hugging the 

 rails. 



Two hurdles from home The x^bbot and The 

 Scot were out of it, and with Dick Marsh riding 

 Thornfield hard to get on terms with New Glasgow, 

 the remainder of the race may be described 

 as a procession ; Woodbrook, who for three parts 

 of the journey had never once been headed, winning 

 in most leisurely fashion by four lengths. 

 Thornfield was third, New Glasgow fourth. The 

 Scot fifth, Abbot of St. Mary's sixth. Cross 

 Question seventh, Montauban eighth, and The 

 Liberator last.
