ditto. Out they scrambled, but unfortunately on the wrong side. 

 Starveacre, having hobbled himself, was soon caught, and another 

 attempt was made, this time with success, and they galloped on, 

 but too late, the field had already swept on out of sight, and 

 sorrowfully homeward the pair made their way. 



The second line, from Waterloo Crossing to Marshfield House, 

 was without incident, bar one or two refusals into and out of the 

 Wokingham-Bracknell road. " Perky," on a grey musical box, 

 spent some time in the road, but eventually got over, to repeat the 

 refusing process at each fence. Some ten minutes after the arrival 

 of the hounds at the finish, a noise in the distance betrayed his 

 approach, and he arrived just in time to receive the congratulations 

 of the field on his dogged persistency. 



The going was sound throughout, and both lines were voted 

 excellent. During the run Major Riddell's horse refused, as also 

 did an outsider's horse close behind. On this — the exchange of 

 greetings show on sketch opposite.
