The second OF the great fall handicaps las been
run and with q result which 10 unparas In the his
tory Of the turf "Ths unexpected generally hap
pens" and especially in horse racing Still al past
record and tradition has taught that tho winner Of
the Cambridgsshre Handicap was not TO be found In
The winner OF the Cssarcwch. Mr. J. Smiths horse
Rossbery has however, broken the spell and
scored the double event The cause Of the
fatality which has hitherto debarred the win
Of the Cssarswash from repeating hts triumph

and what pitch OF popularity has been attained by
the horse and his owner.
