 Mr F. D. Leyland's "Prioress," trained by 

 Hardie, in the Preston Handicap Steeplechase 

 at Plumpton, 14th March 1895; Mr A. 

 Myburgh's " Innesheen," in the Village Hurdle 

 Race, Sandown, March 1895, winner trained by 

 Gray; Lord Rendlesham's "Theobald," at the 

 Ipswich Hunt Meeting, winner trained by W. 

 Nightingall; Mr C. Hibbert's "Snow Queen," 

 Nottingham, February 1896, winner trained by 

 W. Nightingall ; Mr Lebaudy's " Count Schom-

 winner trained by Leader; Lord Shrewsbury's 

 "Misanthropist," at Gatwick, in the Epsom 

 Steeplechase, winner trained by W. Woodland ; 

 at the same meeting Lord Cowley's "Pardalo," 

 in a Maiden Hurdle Race, winner trained by 

 Gatland ; and many others. They need not be 

 recapitulated in wearisome detail. My wish
