Tue R.A. brought off a most successful little gymkhana on 22nd February. The 
fields were very good and the February Plate gave us one of the best races we 
have seen here. The 15 ponies got away to what looked, from the Stand, an 
excellent start and raced, all well closed up, to the distance, where the three placed 
horses came away and a really good race was won by “Simla,” though had the 
distance been ten yards further ‘‘ The lool” would have won. 
“ Whisky,” with his sporting owner up, had a benefit in the Beginners’ Stakes, 
for the verdict might have been twenty lengths had he been ridden out. 
In the Spring Purse, “‘ Harly Dawn,” on the way to the starting post, took 
charge of his rider and gave him a nice little exercising gallop, vid the Club, 
Begumpett, Bowenpilly and a few other outlying cantonments, coming in at last 
with the tail of the Postillion Race. ‘‘Inshallah”’ and “Sunbeam ” led through- 
out, “Sunbeam” winning a good race by a neck. 
The fifth event, Postillion Race, was won easily by Mr. Boggs, whose pair 
fenced beautifully. 
Tilting at the Ring finished the programme, won by Mrs. Thackeray with three 
rings, against two to Mrs. Stokes, Mrs. lischer, Mrs. Penno and Mrs. Lawrie. 
The band of the Northampton Regiment, by the kind permission of Colonel 
Chayter and officers, played during the afternoon.
