Not illustrated. 1863 Excerpt: ...the Dog Puppy Stakes, and that Lucy Campbell, Celerity, and Jessica were best thought of for the Bitch Stake. Kingwater was a great " pot" for the Biddleston stake, while for the Netherton no particular animal was selected. Tbe night looked very unpromising for the sport of the morrow, as a considerable fall of snow had taken place, and a sharp frost set in.

Coquetdale Ranger, on the outside, led Buston, and, in a good trial, beat him well. Tom King, on the inside, led Tim Whifiler, and, in an excellent course, beat him thoroughly.
