THE GRAND NATIONAL. 281 



Approaching Becher's Brook, Savoyard drew to 

 the front, followed by Chancellor, the pair being- 

 clear of Johnny Longtail. 



At Valentine's Brook the order was Chancellor 

 first, Johnny Longtail second, Savoyard third, and 

 Sinbad last. 



Chancellor was first on to the course, before 

 reaching which, Spectrum tell, but coming round 

 the bend, was passed by Savoyard, who took the 

 lead, followed by Gamecock, Chancellor, Roquefort 

 and Too Good. 



Entering the straight, Chancellor and Roquefort 

 changed positions. 



Before reaching the hurdles in the straight, the 

 rider of Savoyard suddenly raised his whip, and 

 Roquefort swerving in consequence, fell over the 

 rails, cutting himself badly. The last obstacle was 

 taken by Gamecock and Savoyard together, but the 

 former o-raduallv wearing the latter down, won 

 cleverly, at last, by three lengths. 



Johnny Longtail was a bad third, Chancellor 

 fourth. Chancery fif^h. Too Good sixth, Magpie 

 (dismounted) seventh. 



Time : 10 minutes 10 1/5 seconds.
