The pancake was thrown as usual on Shrove Tuesday, although there had been some fear lest it might have to be omitted owing to the illness of Lady Augusta Stanley. It was thrown at 10 o’clock, as it happened that St. David’s day fell on the very same day. The Pan-cake was landed in Mr Gibson’s form, which was at length smashed in the struggle. The pancake as usual came to grief and no-body gained the sovereign.
