THE WATERLOO CUP n 



1855 saw the victory of Judge, a dog who subsequently 

 proved of inestimable value at the stud, and who was runner- 

 up in the following year. 



1857 was the first year that the stake attained its full 

 dimensions, and the winner proved to be King Lear, the 

 runner-up being Sunbeam, who was backed to win an enor- 

 mous stake. 



1858 saw a rank outsider in Neville victorious ; another 

 greatly fancied one, named Deacon, running up. 



1859. In this year the stakes were divided ; and when 

 1 Robin Hood ' wrote the article to which I have referred, this 

 was a record ; but in late years we have three examples of a 

 division of stakes : by Miss Glendyne and Bit of Fashion, by

 On the occasion under notice the dividers were Clive and

 Cioloja, was believed to be a perfect wonder, and became a 

 very hot favourite for the Cup ; but, as ill luck would have it, 

 she broke her thigh a few days before the event. 



1863 was remarkable for the victory of Chloe, another 

 daughter of Judge, the favourite and runner-up being Rebe, 

 the property of Messrs. Heywood and Racster. 



1864. Rebe again ran up, being unluckily beaten in the 

 final by King Death, a son of Canaradzo, and in 



1865 she divided the Purse with Beckford. In 



1866 she ran into the last four, this proving the finale to a 

 remarkable but luckless career. 



1865. In this year Brigadier was returned the winner, a
