Notes

(By "RAPIER")

There were certainly some very exciting finishes, especially

ber. tween Mr. Marnhall and Mr. Frost. The races I have in mind being Diana Bay and Trenthridge, and Diana Bay and. King's Warden. For one furlong these greys on two occasions fought it out, good and hearty, both races being given as dead heats
