Not illustrated. 1859 Excerpt: ...and the usual loyal and patriotic toasts were responded to with great enthusiasm. The list of drawing was, as a matter of course, read over; betting was, in the absence of bookmakers, confined to owners backing their nominations, which was done very spiritedly, but not to an excessively large amount. On Tuesday we commenced at the village of Pitinaine, and coursed the low ground and the moor, finishing at the bottom of Swait's Hill.
