and declining to start until the others had gone some
distance. Before reaching the water-jump Eheu assumed
the command, and was the first over, Wedding Peal fol-
lowing. Chesterfield, who was next, fell on " taking off,"
broke his near hind leg, and was shortly afterwards de-
stroyed. Holman was fortunately not hurt. Eheu took
a clear lead after passing the Stand, Gorsehawk running
into second place, and Wedding Peal dropping into the

and Gorsehawk being in difficulties at the turn into the

and Lord Waldegrave, and in this order they took the
water-jump, but when fairly round the bend Meanwood
took the lead, Legerdemain going on second, the other pair
being in close attendance. In the meadows opposite the
Stand Holman broke one of his stirrup-leathers, and im-
mediately pulled Lord Waldegrave up. Meanwood held
the advantage for once round the corner, when he tired,
and Legerdemain reassumed the command, Havelock fol-
lowing a couple of lengths lin rear of Meanwood until
within three quarters of a mile from home, when Mean -
wood, beaten, dropped into the rear. Havelock waited on
Legerdemain until rounding the bond ,into the straight,
