The next "in favor was Mr P, F, Tancred's Premier, who was only two votes behind Lord Mandeville. The Premier, who is fifteen years old, was in even better form than he was last year. His qualities are too well known to need comment, Mr J. C. Yallance's VoLTIGEUR was third, the voting being principally divided between the first two horses. Mr G. Freeth's Treason was fourth. In draught horses there was only one entry, Mr J. Anderson's Prince Arthur, a dark dappled bay, by Young Prince Charlie, bred by Mr A. Cookburn.
