In the Trial Stakes Blackthorn , was made favourite , and fully justified the confidence by winning easily . Black Satin , whose form has improved , wonderfully , ran very well in this race , while Warrego was almost out of it , Rox again came out for the Galloway Plate . Elf on his Dehra form was made second favorite , while it was generally considered the race was as good as won by Rex . This wonderful pony ran a great race with Elf , and won on the post by a head . Elf is a young horse and next season promises to be a power in his popular owner's stable Fleur - de - Lys seems to have seen little out in this race owing to her leg .

As they came to the first jump , a bank , in the straight run in at the first time of going round , Oliver Twist pecked and got his bridle off his head , and bolted into the country . Soon after Mr. Hanbury broke a stirrup leather at the small post and rails and was the race . Kate continued her course without slackening her pace Advance keeping up well .

Rajah Runbeer Sing's b c b h Juug Bahadoor , Jaffir bes walked over Third Day , Thursday , 27th October . The races on this day were very much akin to those of the preceding one . There was one drawback , that the steeplechase was run , if not in the dark , in very bad light . The Dwarf Chase fell through at the last , all the ponies entered being scratched , and two other events being reduced to walk over . At the lotteries the evening previous a country bred pony handicap was framed to fill up the programme , and the ad justment of weights was so satisfactory that five acceptances were easily obtained , and a very good race was provided . For the chase Hector was made favorite , but the horse lacks condition , and it was their good riding that brought the horse , so well at the finish . FIRST RACE.-C. B. Pony Handicap . Rs . 10 .

Eccentric going like a steam engine soon got in front of all , but as soon shut up and fell back to keep company with Expense , who was unable to live in the company . Coming round the turn for home , Haphazard got to the front , and with North Star and Beaver at his quarters raced past the distance , where Tingey coming out a great race ensued , resulting in Haphazard winning by two lengths .

It will be remembered this race was postponed from the second day owing to the delay in measuring North Star . ... Half forfeit . Dis The event was unfortunately drawn , as Probably being lame could not come to the post , and North Star had a walk over . This brought the Umballa Meeting of 1881 to a close . The atten dance on all three days was very large . The various officers performed their functions in a most creditable manner , and too much cannot be said for Captain Trower , the Honorary Secretary , who worked most assiduously in the face of superhuman difficulties and pulled the meeting through with the success that has attended it .
