Nap went away with the lead from Billee Taylor, Cloister, Brunswick, Midshipmite, and the Primate ; to these succeeded Southam, Flying Column, and Tenby, with Lord Arthur, Bagman, Ardcarn, Rollesby, and Paul Pry the last lot. Aa they crossed the lane Nap was

?>. J°.! n i l . d b y.%' n g Cpjumn, .Cloister, _and The, c, Primate, which trio, had headed him befere c « jumping the. first fence. • Soon,".' afterwards Jf colours were hidden from view in the misti and ' Oi when Partisan came down at the third obstacle, , n we have only the evidence of the' jockey that' c, Flyang Column was in command from Cloistef c, and' The Primate; in turn Nap divided them p. from Tenby, Lord Arthur, Midshipmite, and f. Father O'Flynn, with Ilex amongst the last lot,' of whom Paul Pry and Rollesby whipped in. lf For the next mile or more there was ii'o mishap Ci of any kind, and on reaching the Caual point' b, Flying Column still acted ss peacemaker for c, Cloister, The Primate, Midshipmite, Lord 3- Arthur, Tenby, Father O'Flynn, and Ardcaru. )t The inside position served Cloister across tho Bi course, and he cleared the water level with n Flying Column, Lord Arthur being third, with Midshipmite, Tho Primate, and Father i, O llynn next. The second division was here 8, composed of Lord of the" Glen, Cruiser (who [S made a mistake on landing); Ardcarn,' 'aha >r I" 3111 " 106 , the next batch being Hollingfcan, , ( Tenby, Jason, Nap, and Southam, with Mel3) drum, Ilex, Brunswick, Bagman, and Faust the le whippers-in, except for Paul Pry and Rollesby, who tailed off. They had no sooner res entered the country than The Primate began to tire, and was in trouble when Tenby— who had- been leaping none too straight— came down a floorer at the second' fence. With" Meldrum, Rollesby, and Jason falltag at Beecher's, Paul Pry was also pulled up,' and at the same time Midshipmite and Flying ' Column closed with Cloister, the trio going on from Father n O Flynn, Ardcarn, Hollington, and Illex, while b- Lord Arthur had dropped back to the beaten n division, at the head of which were Cruiser, r. Lord of the Glen, and Reliance. With mention that Billee Taylor had bolted we may now go c on to the ditch fence, the second from the racej. course, when Midshipmite, who was in slight 3 possession came to grief. Cloister then took up is the running again, and passed the Canal bridge n slightly in advance of Father O'Flynn, Ardcarn, and Ilex, these being now divided by a c big lap from Flying Column, Hollington, }| Cruiser, and Reliance, in whose cases pursuit b. was hopeless. The issue did not remain much 0 longer in doubt, for with Father O'Flynn now :o served by his weight he rattled to the front, c - and at the last jump but one was clear of A Cloister, Ilex, and Ardcarn, in the order ; . named. From this point he contrived to widen jl the gap, and finishing as fresh as paint, won by I. 20 lengths from Cloister, who, ridden out to i- the end, secured second money by two lengths from Ilex, with Ardcarn a moderate fourth, , Flying Column fifth, Hollington sixth, Cruiser 1 seventh, and Reliance eighth. A long way off came Ulysses, Faust, Bagman, Southam, Lord n of the Glen, and Brunswick, with The Primate i, last of those who completed the course, Nap It having parted with his jockey a mile and aa quarter from home.
