APPENDIX. 



thus people were out betimes, as a stroll on the heath before breakfast is to many one of the most delightful 

 features of the week's visit to headquarters. Amongst those who witnessed the horses at exercise was his 

 Majesty the King, who was again mounted on his hack. As the day wore on the weather became of the 

 very best autumn type, and such an enjoyable afternoon has not been experienced for a long time. 



The field for the Jockey Club Cup cut down to limited proportions. I believe that, had it been known 

 in the early part of the week that Zinfandel did not run, Wavelet's Pride would have been started for the 

 race. St. Maclou was left to do battle single-handed for Major Beatty's stable, and as he was only opposed 

 by Mead and the French filly, Chatte Blanche, it was thought he would place the prize to the credit of Lord 

 Howard de Walden. Mead had so utterly failed to extend Rondeau in the Lowther Stakes here a fortnight 

 ago that it was not easy to regard his prospects in an optimistic light, but the French filly, Chatte Blanche, 

 had some very fair form to her credit on the other side of the Channel. St. Maclou was not in one of his 

 best moods, and the precaution had to be taken of saddling him at home two hours previous to the race, 

 so, perhaps, his connections were not unprepared for his sulky exhibition. As a matter of fact, he 

 obstinately refused to gallop, and the issue was in the last half-mile left to the other pair, of whom Mead 

 stayed the longer, and won by half a dozen lengths. Needless to say, the success of the King's horse was 

 immensely popular, and his Majesty was obviously much pleased when he went into the Birdcage to see the 

 son of Persimmon return to the unsaddling enclosure. The Royal livery has been so singularly out of luck 

 this year that it is most gratifying to chronicle a change in Fortune's wheel in regard to Egerton House, and 

 it is to be hoped that this will be only a prelude to further successes.
