To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
" Amongst prominent " soldier owners " are to be found Captain Michael Hughes, of the 2nd Life Guards; Mr. H. L. Powell, E. H. A. ; Mr. G. C. Wilson, R. H. Guards, who won the Grand National with Father O'Flynn ; Captain Whi- taker, late 5th Fusiliers, whose plucky pur- chase of Ormerod for 3000 guineas was so promptly rew^arded by the horse winning the Grand Military for him ; Mr. Baird ; Captain Fenwick ; Mr. Eustace Loder, 1 2th Lancers ; Captain Orr-Ewing, i6th Lancers ; and Lord Shaftesbur...y, loth Hussars. Few men in recent years have been blessed with two smarter steeplechase horses in a very small stud than Mr. H. L. Powell, with the magnificent Bloodstone and Midshipmite. Horses, it is truly said, run in all shapes, and whereas the last named is a plain horse, although a well-made one, with rather " up- setting" action in front. Bloodstone was a veritable picture, and when galloping a realisation of the poetry of motion. Mr. Powell bought him from the ill-fated "Bay" 172 III Sca7det and Silk Middleton — I think in 1889 — and with "Eoddy" Owen up, lie won for him, amongst several other races, the Grand Military Hunters' Steeplechase at Sandown.
