Goodwood Races: the Chesterfield Cup, 1862. The Chesterfield Cup is a very elaborately-wrought and partly gilt silver cup in the Renaissance style. On the body are panels containing subjects illustrative of Sir Walter Scotts novel of "Ivanhoe" - .viz., "The Combat during the Tournament" and "Ivanhoe Fainting at the Feet of the Queen of Beauty." On the handles are infant figures of Victory, and on the feet the figures of the Black Knight and Rowena, whilst that of Ivanhoe crowns the summit. It was modelled by A. J. Barrett, and executed by Messrs. Hunt and Roskell...The possession of it will be enhanced to Count Batthyany (a naturalised Hungarian sportsman of many years standing both at Melton Mowbray and at Newmarket) by the very close finish for it, as his Prince Plausible, with Fordham up, only won by a neck from Bosh, while Mr. Lamberts Humphrey and Lord Palmerstons Spencer were only beaten by half a length in a field of twenty-six. From "Illustrated London News", 1862.
