Tuesday, February 18th, 1896. 



Meet at Hawthorn Hill. A field of about twenty. A capital 

 line to Cokeley Bridge, the ground for the most part riding nice and 

 light and the fences negociable in many places. 



We regret that the already large number of casualties was 

 further swollen. Johnson, riding with the dash and spirit 

 characteristic of the Chestnut Battery, got a nasty fall and was 

 badly kicked by his horse. He will, we fear, not be able to come 

 out for another run for some time.
