Bellona fell and rolled at the first of the next 

 fences, which Aladdin and Frio'ate cleared side by 

 side from Ballot Box, Johnny Longtail, Playfair 

 and Chancellor, Aladdin being first over the

 the country IVap 

 rolled over and 

 broke Lowe's 

 collar-bone ; mean-

 pair profiting, when 

 Valentine's was 

 reached, by Usna, 

 instead of turning 

 for home, bolting 

 to the left and 



carried Frigate with him, causing her to lose a lot of 

 ground. 



On reaching the race-course Magic was beaten, 

 and with Savoyard falling two fences from home and 

 Ringlet rapidly tiring, the race was left to Playfair 

 and h>io;ate. The latter was first over the last fence
