90 ASCOT, 1835. 



over her head, but without his receiving any material in- 

 jury, although the horses running in her wake had some 

 trouble in getting out of the way in time to prevent further 

 mischief. At this point Pickle declined, and Louisa ran by 

 herself, half-way up the distance, where Pussy separated 

 herself from the crowd, went up to Louisa, defeated her 

 without a struggle, and won easily by more than a length. 



May Day was killed immediately after the race ; had she not 

 fallen, we should have doubtless had a different tale to tell. 



At the following Ascot, Pussy won the Ascot Derby of 

 50 sovs. each, h. ft, the winner of the Derby 71b. ; of the 

 Oaks 51b. extra. — Ten subs. 



Mr Cosby's Pussy (51t). extra) 1 



Mr Forth's Louisa 2 



Lord Exeter's c, out of Terapia's dam 3 



Mr Payne's Gang-es 4 



The 51b. lent considerable interest to the race, and some 

 smart betting took place at 6 and 7 to 4 on Pussy, and 2 to 

 1 ag^ Louisa; but Pussy turned her tail upon them, and

At the Ascot Meeting, 1835, Pussy walked over for the 

 Oatlands Stakes of 30 sovs. each, 20 ft, and only 10 if de- 

 clared, &c. — Two miles and a half. Three subs. ; Glencoe 

 and Glaucus paying her ten shillings in the pound on their 

 forfeits. Her subsequent running must have made her 

 owner congratulate himself on his judgment in taking it. 



On the same day, she ran second for His Majesty's Plate 

 of 100 gs. ; three yr olds, 7st. 21b. ; four, 9st. 21b. ; five, 

 lOst. ; six and aged, lOst. 5lb. — To start at the New Mile
