When the field was in the western bend, heading for home, Dark Princess, with a five lengths' lead, struck tho fence and dislodged her rider, leaving Kalninoke in charge. The final fence, near the stand, was well cleared by Kahnnoke, but Capella Abbey, who followed, came down, bringing down Cotsfield and also tho riderless Dark Princess. Kalninoke won easing up.

As tho riderless horses came in, L. Mathieson remounted Cotsfield, J. Walsh remounted Capella Abbey and a spectator, Mr. L. Colbert, remounted Dark Princess.
