...progress for providing seats for three thousand spectators, and every convenience can be expected by visitors. As regards prizes, although the financial success of the day will, in great measure, determine their value, yet they will, in any case, surpass in quality and workmanship anything of the kind presented outside the field of college athletics.

The hesitations and accidents were unusually few, and, except the decapitation of a war-steed, at which critical moment the presence of mind of Sir Guy saved the day, no serious casualty occurred. Mr. Urquhart made a very pretty girl, and Mr. Wright an imposing queen.
