The second line, commencing just East of the Manor House, 

 took a Southerly course over four fields, crossed the rails, and then 

 swung due East to West End Farm, making a first-class run. 

 Certain riders, who knew the line and had already tested the 

 resisting power of the rails, showed much discretion in allowing the 

 light cavalry to get well ahead and secure the crossing by breaking 

 the top rail.
