28o HEROES AND HEROINES OF 



The Race. 



When after two or three breaksaway, Lord 

 Marcus Beresford dropped the flag. Savoyard was 

 the first to show in front, with Gamecock, Magpie, 

 Old Joe, Chancellor, Roquefort. Frigate, Too Good, 

 close up. 



As they made their way to the country, Gamecock 

 went to the head of affairs, followed by Roquefort, 

 Old Joe and Savoyard, Magpie heading the others. 



At the second fence Bellona and Ballot Box fell, 

 and Gamecock was still showing the way to Savoyard, 

 Roquefort, Magpie and Too Good, who ran side 

 by side. At the next fence, Spahi came to grief, and 

 Roquefort then took second place, followed by 

 Magpie and Old Joe. After passing Becher's 

 Brook, Old Joe rushed to the front, followed in 

 the order named by Frigate, Magpie, Hunter and 

 Gamecock, but was passed going through the plough 

 by Frigate, Old Joe taking third place. 



Coming into the straight. Hunter fell, and Old 

 foe came on from Magpie and Johnny Longtail to 

 the water-jump, which Spectrum cleared just in front 

 of Magpie, Johnny Longtail, Chancellor, Savoyard, 

 Old Joe, Gamecock, Chancery, etc., with Frigate last. 

 In this order they made for the country a second time.
