1 Charming May,' ' Randolph,' * Lobelia,' and 4 Bab-at-the-Bowster ;' the 

 style in which he beat the last two gaining for him, from good judges, the 

 opinion that a faster or cleverer greyhound never was slipped. In 1870 

 he sustained his only defeat, which was from Mr. Trevor's 4 Lady Lyon,' the 

 course creating quite a consternation in all sporting circles ; but, whatever 

 the cause, it was not 4 Magrath's' style of running. At the Lurgan meet- 

 ing of 1870, he won the 4 Brownlow Cup,' beating, in the last two courses, 

 * Smuggler' and ' Fritz.' His last appearance in public was at Altcar, in 

 February, 187 1, when he defeated ' Wharfinger,' 'Eyes of Fire' (drawn 

 after an undecided course), 4 Rocketer,' * Letter T,' 4 Black Knight,' and 

 4 Pretender.' It will thus be observed that out of the thirty-seven courses 

 which 4 Master Magrath' ran in public, his colours were only lowered 

 once."
