THE RACE FOR THE GRAND PRIX DE PARIS, AT LONGCHAMPS, ON THE 5TH JUNE, 1864. CREATOR: UNKNOWN.
The Race for the Grand Prix de Paris, at Longchamps, on the 5th June, 1864. '...owing to the inferiority of the animals ultimately left on the card, the "International" was reduced to a match between England and France...It may be said without exaggeration that one hundred thousand "elegant" people were present at Longchamps; the arrival and departure of the brilliant equipages as they emerged from or drove towards the Bois de Boulogne was itself a most delightful sight...the general expectation was that Blair Athol would achieve an easy victory; and near the finish, when Challoner made his too-long deferred effort to win, the general cry was "Le vert! Le vert!" but, notwithstanding the betting and the almost foregone conclusion, the "green" was obliged to succumb to a fresher though not a better horse...It would, however, be unfair to depreciate the victory of Vermouth, who has proved himself...to be a first-rate animal, worthy of the honours he has carried off and of the very natural applause with which his triumph was greeted by the...French people. They were thus recompensed for their defeat of last year, which they bore, let it be here emphatically remarked, with "exemplary" politeness and good feeling'. From "Illustrated London News", 1864.

THE START FOR THE DERBY - FROM A PHOTOGRAPH BY MR. HERBERT WATKINS, 1864. CREATOR: UNKNOWN.
The Start for the Derby - from a photograph by Mr. Herbert Watkins, 1864. 'It is a singular Turf anomaly that the greatest race in the world should be run over perhaps the worst and most dangerous course we have...The hill stops the pace so much...that the bad ones are not half weeded out by the time they reach [Tattenham] Corner. Hence jockeys too often race their horse's heads off to get well round it in the front rank, for fear of the beaten horses falling back and knocking them out of their stride at the critical moment...However, the Grand Stand folk like to see the race from end to end; and so they have their way, and many a fine animal has its chance jeopardised in consequence...For a long time no one cared to see the start; and a few years ago, we believe, that there was only an audience of three. People are more curious now on the point, since the starting question came so prominently before them, and last week there was a regiment of spectators, fully a thousand strong. As might have been expected, eight false starts proved an immense boon to them. It was after a false start that Mr. Herbert Watkins succeeded in catching one of his instantaneous photographs, in which the grey of Warrior was remarkably conspicuous'.

Elephant Steeplechase at Rangoon, 1858. The British entertaining themselves in Burma. 'The officers of the garrison at Rangoon wound up their 'Monsoon Meeting' with two pony steeplechases and an elephant steeplechase, which were to have come off on the anniversary of the birthday of our most gracious Queen, but the state of the weather caused the postponement to the 25th May..."H. M. 68th Steeplechase Course, open to all Elephants, steered by Mahouts, and ridden by Officers, the winning Mahout to receive 5 rs [rupees]. from the stakes, and the rider the balance, and a 'piece of plate' from the staff"...The ditch is the third leap, though the first in the picture. It was three feet and a half deep by seven broad. 'Grainbags,' who was heavily backed, was the first in, and out again; and not one, that I observed, cleared it. They all went at it like - elephants! and the riders, I do declare, evinced rare powers of 'sticking.' They were in jockey costume, but rode with a staff and flag instead of a whip...The following was the result - First: Captain Vaughan's "Soorul Jumal"; Second: Mr. Marshall's "Delhi Bully"; Third: Major West's " Tearing Villain"...'.
