Races at Wheat Croft - Col. Thompson's "Hamlet" winning the Lascelles Cup, 1845. '...Horse-races, in Wheat Croft, a piece of land well adapted for a course, on the south side of the river Wharfe, and very near to Harewood-bridge [at Harewood near Leeds in Yorkshire]...The prizes were all the gift of the Earl of Harewood, and were contended for by his tenants only; except "The Lascelles Cup," which was subscribed for by several of the nobility and gentry of the neighbourhood, who were also the competitors for the prize: it is of the value of about Eighty Guineas. The course staked off for the races was nearly in the form of a circle, and about a mile in circumference; and the rest of the field afforded ample room for the spectators'. From "Illustrated London News", 1845, Vol VII.
