To Liverpool only one horse was sent, Sky-rocket 

 for the j£iooo Liverpool Plate. It rather seemed that 

 he was bound on a hopeless errand, for Tangiers was 

 in the race and odds of 3 to 1 were laid on the subse- 

 quent Gold Cup winner, who ran well. Not well 

 enough. Sky-rocket beat him a neck, and considering 

 what Tangiers proved himself to be in the Gold Cup 

 and other races, this was a remarkable achievement 

 for Lord Glanely's chestnut.
