The Jumpers. All Irish (Fergus) and Arabesque (Turvey) gave a safe display over six hurdles in the centre. They jumped the first two on terms, and then All Irish drew out, and was well in front at the finish. Mountain Bruce (Turvey) and Speedfast (J. Sharkey) set out to jump four of the same hurdles. Speedfast fell-heavily at the second fence, and Mountain Bruce finished his task alone. Sharkey looked to have received a bad fall, but recovered shortly afterwards and again took Speedfast over two more fences. He jumped the first safely, but hit the second very hard. HORSES FOR SOUTH.
