booked as a certainty. The Cup, however, came into his 

 hands as a consolation for this misfortune, and should have

 horses England ever taw. 



The only other events of this Meeting were Welfare 

 beating The Currier, — (no great wonder,) The Nob beating 

 Oakley, in a manner w^hich showed that the Glaucus had

Newcastle came out in a truly sportmg spirit this year. 

 Charles the Twelfth beat the "old mare" for the Craven

 the Chesterfield in first rate style. 



The Liverpool July Meeting produced many unexpected 

 results, not the least surprising of which was Orelia's beating
