[March the sport which it is supposed to look over from the slough in which it now wallows. When we think Zaditor Coupon of the thousands of English- men that love a good chaser (or why is the Liverpool Zaditor Coupons Spring Meeting such Generic Zaditor a success ? ) we sadden to see the depth to which things have fallen. Is there no one with sufficient interest to do something ? The longer the pre- sent state of things is allowed to continue the more difficult will it be to improve it. Of the few promising new ones that have come at all to the front as steeplechasers Parma Violet is certainly one. This little dark brown filly out of The Sap (sire doubtful between Jacobite and Buy Zaditor The Penman) made a solitary and unsuccessful appearance at Lim- erick (of course she is Irish bred) in 1896, as a three-year-old. In 1897 she ran five times, winning twice ; and in 1898, after winning three times out of eleven tries in Ireland, she made the debut in England that is inevitable with all promising chasers Zaditor Cost at Aldershot, in November, where she won a three miles' steeplechase, and on the next day, at the same meet- ing, the Past and Present Military Steeplechase, with Mr. Reginald Ward on her back. At Sandown, in December, she was tried in a hurdle race ; but, with her forte lying in her beautiful jumping, she did not shine at this refuge for flat race failures. Zaditor Eye Drop Taken back to her proper sphere, she Buy Zaditor Online won four steeplechases in succession, these being the Stewards' Steeple- chase of three miles at Lingfield, carrying i2st. 7lb. ; the Clewer Steeplechase of three miles at Windsor, in which she gave Ford of Fyne 41b. and a three lengths' beating ; the Final Steeplechase of three Order Zaditor Online miles at Hurst Park, carry- ing i2st. 71b., and the Surbiton Steeplechase of three miles at Hurst Park in January. Thus she won every one of the six steeplechases, each of them at three miles, for which she had run in England. The air of England, therefore, seems to suit her better even than that of h& native country. The last of the six races enumerated was by far the most interesting, for in it she was meeting the redoubtable Cathal, and, what was more, was set to give him 61b. She won very easily because, with about six furlongs to go, Cathal shoiK'ed temper and refused ; after which one wondered what was to happen next. Some first appearances over hurdles of flat racers have been made, sometimes with immediate, and generally with subsequent, success. Eclipse came out un- successfully at Lingfield, but on the course on which she was so sensationally defeated in No- vember by Zaditor Drops Chaleureux for the Manchester November Handicap, won easily ; but the odds that were laid Buy Cheap Zaditor on her gave those who suffered in pocket in November small chance of Purchase Zaditor Online recouping thar losses. At Gatwick, on the last day of January, we saw the dual appear- ance in the same hurdle race of Manifesto and Villiers. The con- dition of Manifesto, which was pronouncedly on the big side, Zaditor Eye Drops suggested that he was out for an exercise canter, and he finished alongside Villiers many lengths behind the placed horses. The next appearance in a hurdle race of this pair was at Sandowia, on February loth, and we then saw something very different. Mani- festo again finished close up with Villiers, but Villiers was Alaway Or Zaditor first and Manifesto second. Villiers having won once in two years and havis^ invariably shown the white fea- ther when called upon to fight i«99.] CC OUR VAN. 2«5 out a finish, was naturally dis- regarded ; and astonishment scarcely describes what one felt when, after Manifesto came over the last hurdle a couple of lengths in front, to see Villiers come again and win by utilising his superior speed. \Ve often hear it said that horses will do over hurdles Zaditor Price what they will not on the fiat, and if ever there was a case that proved this, Villiers suppUed it here. No one who saw him sold at Newmarket in November anticipated anything of this sort, whatever his purchaser may have done. Manifesto was much fitter than at Gatwick, and was heavily backed, but, with the Grand National six weeks away, he was of course not wound up. The Sandown Park First Spring Meeting is the one at which many of us seem to awaken out Zaditor Alaway of our winter Zaditor Tablets sleep. I suppose it is t>ecause fine weather is so often experienced in the second week in February that the Sandown executive titularly forestall the arrival of spripg by several weeks. Both last year and this events justified them ; indeed, on Cheap Zaditor the first day this year the word '* summer " might have been sub- stituted for '* spring,*' so warm w^as it. After the dreary time we had passed, the first day's racing ^was quite invigorating, and it in- cluded, as usual, that Grand National trial, the Prince of 'Wales's Steeplechase of three and a half miles. The stake of 200 sovs. is scarcely what the horses are run for, or we should not see Orand National winners and other promising chasers engaged in it. The winners at Aintree that started were Drogheda and The Soarer ; Manifesto and Wild Man from Borneo not starting. The promising ones were Xeebee, who ba.d won here in such taking style ixi December, over the Purchase Zaditor same dis- tance, and Ambush II. Ambush II. is a four-year-old i^elding by Ben Battle out of Miss Plant, bred and trained in Ireland, where he won the coveted Maiden Plate at the Kildare Hunt Meet- ing in April. He was purchased by the Prince of Wales, and there was sqmething more than a fancy for him, though Xeebee it was that carried the bulk of the money. Xeebee, however, feil, getting a foot under the rail of a
