34:^ THE GRAND NATIONAL. 



Going over Becher's a second time, Timon was 

 clear of ?^Ianifesto, at the latter's heels were Nelly 

 Gray, Ford of Fyne and Cathal, in front of Fairy 

 Queen, The Soarer and Filbert. At Valentine's 

 The Soarer came down, Mr. Campbell, his rider, 

 breaking- his collar-bone. 



Fairy Queen now dropping out, the finish was 

 reduced to a match between Timon and Manifesto, 

 who had from the start made nearly all the running 

 in joint company. 



Three fences from home Nelly Gray, trying- to 

 refuse, upset Greenhill, but neither had any chance 

 of getting near the leaders, of whom Manifesto got 

 the best of it when Timon blundered and unshipped 

 his jockey, and with Cathal coming to grief at the 

 last hurdle. Manifesto went on at his ease and 

 won by twenty lengths, a good race home for second 

 honours between Ford of Fvne and Filbert endino- 

 in favour of the latter by a head. 



The same distance off, Prince Albert was fourth, 

 Lotus Lily fifth, Timon sixth, Fairy Queen seventh. 

 Seaport IL eighth, Nelly Gray ninth, and Argonaut 

 last. 



Time : 9 minutes 49 seconds. 



Value of stakes, ^1,975.
