MILITARY SECRETARY’S OFFICE, SIMLA.
_September 14th, 1885._
All this time while Lord William was attending to his duties, his
horses were running in different races, but he was not very lucky,
the 1884-5 Calcutta Meeting was disastrous, one horse after another
going wrong, and Prospero put his lordship’s shoulder out again by
falling with him, in spite of which, swathed in bandages, he rode on
the second day a very good race on the same animal, it being one of
the best races he ever rode, though he did not win.
