Sir Launcelot went off with the lead, Horncastle second, and these two made a fast race of it from the beginning, in whi Horneastle came out best, Opposite the stand on the further side Grasshopper was observed to be advancing steadily, and by the time Probst's Corner was reached he put the leaders quite out of it. Having secured the position, however, he did not push his advantage' further than was absolutely necessary, and encouraged the others to make a struggle on the rin in. Horncastle gamely stuck to him, but although Grasshopper did not exert' himself, the other failed to touch him. Sir Launcelot was a bad third and Kwo-te-cha showed in the race from the Time, 2m, 188.
