This Race is remembered for being the first time that this world-famous steeplechase was declared void, after 30 of the 39 runners began and carried on racing despite a false start that was declared. Seven of the field eventually went on to complete the course, with ‘’Esha Ness’’ ultimately crossing the finishing post first, ironically in the second-fastest time in Grand National history. As a result of this calamity, The Jockey Club made the decision not to re-run the race, and it has since been called The Race that Never Was. Bookmakers were forced to refund an estimated £75 million in bets staked. The Jockey Club launched an inquiry which led to a number of changes in the starting and recall procedures for future races.

628Interesting Manuscript Account of the Voyage of An Irish Yacht to Scandinavia, 1872 de Montmorencey: A manuscript folio volume of 51 written pages narrating the voyage of the cutter yacht Mystery to Norway, Sweden and Denmark in the summer of 1872.

On holiday to Fontainebleau in 1870 they are caught up in the outbreak of the Franco-Prussian War and he and his father are arrested as Prussian spies. Thereafter the entries consist of sparse notes recording his entry into Oxford, his studies there, his ordination as a clergyman and services as a curate. In 1885 he reluctantly accepts a parish in Devon but resigns within months as the parish is not financially viable. In 1886 he and his new wife emigrate to New Zealand.

677Important Early Manuscript Poem by James Stephens With Critical Manuscript Comments by George Bernard Shaw Manuscript: A folio page containing a poem entitled ‘’The Earth Song’’ signed by James Stephens. There are six verses, each of eight or nine lines. Written across both sides of the sheet are comments, by George Bernard Shaw, to whom Stephens had evidently sent the poem for his appraisal. Shaw’s critique is fairly devastating: ‘’Unless you have an intensity of feeling that transfigures everything for you and can express that feeling in lines that have beauty, dignity, fascination, you cannot write poetry’’. However, Shaw reassures Stephens that the prompt return of a short story he had sent to an editor does not mean it is no good, and he criticises the facetious tone of Stephens’s letter to the editor: ‘’Englishmen don’t understand jokes in the wrong place - sometimes not even jokes in the right place.’’ He urges Stephens to persist with his writing but warns him not to be financially dependent on its success. Shaw’s remarks are signed from Maybury Knoll, Woking, and dated 29 December 1902. Much about Stephens’s early life is obscure, and at this period he was employed in a series of poorly paid clerical jobs of short duration. His first known literary contributions were made to the United Irishman in 1905, so this early composition - with Shaw’s reaction to it - is specially significant and unique. As a m/ss, w.a.f. (1)
