St. Warrigal led . over the first fence, followed by Master Lu, Marita, Lucess, Lucilius, Rahepoto and Potoanui. Eahepoto made a bad jump at this fence, and came to grief at the next obstacle. St. Warrigal showed the way over the double from Marita, Master Lu, Potoanui and Lucess, and'they went up the hill in that order.
