TIIR DERBY, l!^3:V 05 



the two ran a kind of match at T.Y.C. speed to Tattcnham 

 Corner, where Forester was fairly outrun ; he ran stoutly, 

 but speed, apparently, was not Ms forte. Glaucus, Llewel- 

 lyn, Little Cassino, Shylock, Pagan, Twatty, Shoveler, 

 Uncle Toby, Cactus, The Bravo, Egyptus, Glenmore, and 

 Whiteboy's dam, were beaten clean off before they got 

 round the turn, and came in by " instalments." Catalonian 

 was first landed — Brother to Error, Connoisseur, Revenge, 

 Forester, The Whale, Dangerous, and Sir Robert, all well

 At the Grand Stand Chappie let him go, and he won by a 

 length in a canter. In the last fifty or sixty yards Revenge 

 passed Catalonian, and beat him for the third place; Sir 

 Robert, Catalonian, Brother to Error, and Forester were 

 close together — in fact they all claimed to be fifth. 

 Amongst the others the scattering was awful, and they

 they came dribbling along the course. 



The settling was easier than had been anticipated. The 

 "sufferers" were the gentlemen, the betters round, the 

 winners. The value of the stakes was £3,725 — a much 

 greater sum than had ever yet been received; besides 

 which, Sadler and his party netted, partly against their 

 will, a nice little sum in bets. 



After this race. Dangerous went amiss, but the secret 

 being well kept, he was permitted to walk over for 100 sovs. 

 Sweepstakes, h. ft, six subs., at Stockbridge, on the 27th 

 of July. He, however, was never got fit to start again, 

 and having been put to the stud in the year 183-1, he was
