They
were
just
reaching
the
dammed
-
up
stream
on
their
way
to
the
starting
point
.
Several
of
the
riders
were
in
front
and
several
behind
,
when
suddenly
Vronsky
heard
the
sound
of
a
horse
galloping
in
the
mud
behind
him
,
and
he
was
overtaken
by
Mahotin
on
his
white
-
legged
,
lop
-
eared
Gladiator
.
Mahotin
smiled
,
showing
his
long
teeth
,
but
Vronsky
looked
angrily
at
him
.
He
did
not
like
him
,
and
regarded
him
now
as
his
most
formidable
rival
.
He
was
angry
with
him
for
galloping
past
and
exciting
his
mare
.
Frou
-
Frou
started
into
a
gallop
,
her
left
foot
forward
,
made
two
bounds
,
and
fretting
at
the
tightened
reins
,
passed
into
a
jolting
trot
,
bumping
her
rider
up
and
down
.
Cord
,
too
,
scowled
,
and
followed
Vronsky
almost
at
a
trot
.
There
were
seventeen
officers
in
all
riding
in
this
race
.
The
race
course
was
a
large
three
-
mile
ring
of
the
form
of
an
ellipse
in
front
of
the
pavilion
.
On
this
course
nine
obstacles
had
been
arranged
:
the
stream
,
a
big
and
solid
barrier
five
feet
high
,
just
before
the
pavilion
,
a
dry
ditch
,
a
ditch
full
of
water
,
a
precipitous
slope
,
an
Irish
barricade
(
one
of
the
most
difficult
obstacles
,
consisting
of
a
mound
fenced
with
brushwood
,
beyond
which
was
a
ditch
out
of
sight
for
the
horses
,
so
that
the
horse
had
to
clear
both
obstacles
or
might
be
killed
)
;
then
two
more
ditches
filled
with
water
,
and
one
dry
one
;
and
the
end
of
the
race
was
just
facing
the
pavilion
.
But
the
race
began
not
in
the
ring
,
but
two
hundred
yards
away
from
it
,
and
in
that
part
of
the
course
was
the
first
obstacle
,
a
dammed
-
up
stream
,
seven
feet
in
breadth
,
which
the
racers
could
leap
or
wade
through
as
they
preferred
.
Three
times
they
were
ranged
ready
to
start
,
but
each
time
some
horse
thrust
itself
out
of
line
,
and
they
had
to
begin
again
.
The
umpire
who
was
starting
them
,
Colonel
Sestrin
,
was
beginning
to
lose
his
temper
,
when
at
last
for
the
fourth
time
he
shouted
“
Away
!
”
and
the
racers
started
.
Every
eye
,
every
opera
-
glass
,
was
turned
on
the
brightly
colored
group
of
riders
at
the
moment
they
were
in
line
to
start
.
“
They
’
re
off
!
They
’
re
starting
!
”
was
heard
on
all
sides
after
the
hush
of
expectation
.
And
little
groups
and
solitary
figures
among
the
public
began
running
from
place
to
place
to
get
a
better
view
.
In
the
very
first
minute
the
close
group
of
horsemen
drew
out
,
and
it
could
be
seen
that
they
were
approaching
the
stream
in
twos
and
threes
and
one
behind
another
.
To
the
spectators
it
seemed
as
though
they
had
all
started
simultaneously
,
but
to
the
racers
there
were
seconds
of
difference
that
had
great
value
to
them
.
Frou
-
Frou
,
excited
and
over
-
nervous
,
had
lost
the
first
moment
,
and
several
horses
had
started
before
her
,
but
before
reaching
the
stream
,
Vronsky
,
who
was
holding
in
the
mare
with
all
his
force
as
she
tugged
at
the
bridle
,
easily
overtook
three
,
and
there
were
left
in
front
of
him
Mahotin
’
s
chestnut
Gladiator
,
whose
hind
-
quarters
were
moving
lightly
and
rhythmically
up
and
down
exactly
in
front
of
Vronsky
,
and
in
front
of
all
,
the
dainty
mare
Diana
bearing
Kuzovlev
more
dead
than
alive
.
For
the
first
instant
Vronsky
was
not
master
either
of
himself
or
his
mare
.
Up
to
the
first
obstacle
,
the
stream
,
he
could
not
guide
the
motions
of
his
mare
.
Gladiator
and
Diana
came
up
to
it
together
and
almost
at
the
same
instant
;
simultaneously
they
rose
above
the
stream
and
flew
across
to
the
other
side
;
Frou
-
Frou
darted
after
them
,
as
if
flying
;
but
at
the
very
moment
when
Vronsky
felt
himself
in
the
air
,
he
suddenly
saw
almost
under
his
mare
’
s
hoofs
Kuzovlev
,
who
was
floundering
with
Diana
on
the
further
side
of
the
stream
.
(
Kuzovlev
had
let
go
the
reins
as
he
took
the
leap
,
and
the
mare
had
sent
him
flying
over
her
head
.
)
Those
details
Vronsky
learned
later
;
at
the
moment
all
he
saw
was
that
just
under
him
,
where
Frou
-
Frou
must
alight
,
Diana
’
s
legs
or
head
might
be
in
the
way
.
