146 J^II-'*''^ LETTY, 1837 



Miss Letty's first appearance in 1837, was at the Cat- 

 terick Bridge Meeting, for the Claret Stakes of 10 sovs. 

 each, with 40 added, for three yr olds ; colts, 8st. 31b. ; 

 fillies, 7st. 131b.— Two miles.— Ten subs. 



Capt. Fail-lie's ch. c. Abraham Newland 1 



Lord Kelburne's ch. c. by Albany, dam by St Patrick 2 



Col. Cradock's b. c. by Voltaire, out of Comedy 3 



Mr T. O. Powlett's b. f. by Priam, out of Miss Fanny 4 



The Maid of Avenal, Theresa, and Glints, not placed. 



The Priam filly the favourite. 



Lord Kelburne's Albany colt, a neat little nag and a good 

 goer (not unlike St Patrick in appearance), with G. Nelson 

 on his back, made the running throughout at a capital pace. 

 Our filly pulling hard and lying forward, and Mr Attwood's 

 Arabian, Clints, also going well. At the distance, and 

 when apparently not without a chance, Clints fell (Arabians 

 ought tiot to fall in races like these), and the Priam filly 

 appeared to be winning ; but when the tug of war came, it 

 was between Abraham Newland, Lord Kelburne's colt, and 

 the Comedy colt; and a tremendous struggle ensued, 

 Abraham Newland only winning by about a head. 



At this time Velure, Vacuna, and Egeria were first, se- 

 cond, and third favourites for the Oaks, at the respective 

 prices of 4, 6, and 9, to 1, — then Voluptuary, and Chapeau 

 d'Espagne came into the betting, and " evaporated," and 

 the odds finally stood upon the day at, 2 to 1 agst Chapeau 

 d'Espagne, 5 to 2 agst Vacuna, 4 to 1 agst Egeria, 7 to 1 

 agst the winner, 10 to 1 agst Voluptuary, and 18 to 1 agst 

 the Garcia filly, and of ninety-two nominations the following 

 thirteen came to the post.
