high bank fence before Beecher's Brook Miss Purdon caught
her hind legs in the leap, and, falling, was entirely out of the
race. Sir Philip also met with a mishap at this early-stage of
the proceedings, and both gave up all further share in the
contest. Thirkleby bolted before reaching the Brook, and
thus reduced the field to eight runners. After clearing the
brook. Crabbs took a decided lead, and making the pace
better, soon increased it to a dozen lengths; Royal Blue at
this time going into the second place, and all the rest pre-
sented a long " tail." Crabbs was eased into the ploughed
land, so that Royal Blue went up to him, but, on quitting
that enclosure, came away again with a strong lead, and won
in a canter by ten lengths. Daphne passed Royal Blue half
way along the distance, and defeated the latter for second
place by several lengths. The winner is a little horse, trained
by Fowler. at Aintree, and the animal was ridden by him with
great judgment.
