304 HEROES AND HEROINES OF 



Before reaching Becher's Brook, Adelaide and 

 Fireball pulled up, Young Glasgow also came down 

 at this famous jump, and Dominion, blundering, was 

 pulled up. 



Before reaching- the canal turn Voluptuary was 

 pulled up beaten, whilst Gamecock began to lose 

 ground. Come Away then assumed the lead from 

 \^eil, Ilex going on third, clear of Cloister and Why 

 Not. Veil came to grief at Valentine's, and along 

 the canal side Cloister joined Come Away, the pair 

 being three lengths ahead of Ilex, with Why Not 

 and Gamecock next. In this order they came on to 

 the course, where Gamecock was beaten, and Come 

 Away and Cloister came on with Why Not rapidly 

 drawing up. Approaching the second fence from 

 home the latter had almost closed with the leaders 

 when he came down heavily, Mr. Cunningham being 

 badly hurt. 



At this point Come Away and Cloister gradually 

 drew away from Ilex, a great race home ending in 

 favour of the Irishman by half-a-length. Ilex was 

 a bad third, Roquefort, fifty yards away, fourth, 

 Cruiser fifth, and Gamecock sixth. Nothing else 

 completed the course. 



Time : 9 minutes 58 seconds.
