First Day , Thursday , 22nd January 1885 . 310820 THE SECOND MEETING has been brought off with great Success by the sporting Honorary Secretary . CINT As I have before said the gallant 9th Lancers have leavened the new garrison of Umballa with their own sporting spirit , and helped to develop much that was already latent among the new arrivals . The waning sporting season cannot but regarded with some degree of concern by all who have looked forward with pleasure to these oft - recuring sporting be events at Umballa , for this is the last season of the 9th Lancers in the country . Umballa is fortunate , however , in the new regiment that is on the roster to replace the 9th Lancers . The Queen's Boys made a great name for themselves when in India last , and the names of Seymour , Lukin , Alfrey and Gough are still household words in the annals of Indian racing . It is to be hoped the character for sport is still main tained in the regiment . The racing during the two days which is fully described below has been very good . The attendance on each day was large , and the excellent bands of the 9th Lancers and the Highland Light Infantry played some choice selections of music successively on the two days . FIRST RACE .

Wenna was quickest on her legs and with Daphne at her quarters took a clear lead of the rest . q After travelling quarter mile without any important change , Lop Ear from lying last began to creep up through the ruck , and gradually drew up closer to the leaders .
