朔日己亥雨 競馬の足汰が例の如く行われた。所司代の経威が後見、私・郁顕《割書：初度也｜》等が兼日より相頼まれたにつき、三番打の後少時して、帷子・麻上下を着用して御所屋へ向かった。もちろん途中より郁顕と同道である。然るところ御所屋の畳敷きが例と相違したため、酒殿より神人を呼び寄せて敷き直させた。程なく神主信平卿が出仕し、所司代経威も同様で、諸事の次第は例年の如くであった。ただし二番目の時、先馬・追馬の出し方が違ったため、所司代より入り直しを命じたところ、追馬の正禰宜重敬が抜け出して中程で止まった。先馬の権禰宜希顕は手を放さなかった。然るところ出口の肝煎中が堪えられず、二疋とも走らせることができずに引き上げた。よって所司代より更にまた入り直しを命じ、これにより入り直しが両度となった。また三番目の時、追馬の片岡禰宜可清が総桟敷を過ぎた辺りで烏帽子を落としたため、これまた所司代より入り直しを命じた。稀な例である。またさらに倭文庄の馬が葦毛であるところを、田口仮名検断には鹿毛とあったため、所司代より後見を以って如何なる旨か尋ねたところ、返答には「御馬役人に尋ねたところ鹿毛と申されたため右の通り記し置いた、如何すべきか」との旨であった。これにより相談の上、所司代経威より神主へ申し談じ、即座に神主より田口へ申し聞かせたところ、何分田口の不調法であるとのことで、後刻、所司代の里亭で田口は
英語訳
The Konoe messenger, Major Captain Takano, and the court liaison magistrates and others visited around the Sheep hour. All matters proceeded as in previous years, completed in about half an hour after the Monkey hour. This was most commendable.
20th day, Tsuchinotono-Ushi, clear with light rain: My father was on duty for the daytime watch service, and requested Deputy Tesei to serve as substitute.
21st day, Kanoe-Tora, clear: Had the residence cleaned.
22nd day, Kanotono-U: At exactly the Rabbit hour there was severe thunder and rain, which later cleared.
23rd day, Mizunoe-Tatsu, clear: I was on duty and my father provided the daytime substitute service for the night watch, requesting Deputy Tesei to serve as substitute.
27th day, Hinoe-Saru, cloudy: As the Aoi messengers Toshihira and Kiyoteru came to the capital, there was a gathering of old and young with formal announcements. As I was scheduled to appear, I attended.
Fifth Month (large month)
1st day, Tsuchinoto-I, rain: The preliminary horse racing trials were held as usual. Superintendent Tsunetake served as supervisor, and I, Ikuaki (margin note: first time), and others had been requested in advance. After the third drumbeat and a short while later, I put on summer court dress and hemp formal wear and headed to the palace compound. Of course, Ikuaki accompanied me partway. However, the tatami arrangement in the palace compound differed from usual, so we called shrine servants from the sake hall to relay them properly. Soon Head Priest Lord Nobuhira arrived for duty, as did Superintendent Tsunetake, and all proceedings followed previous years' precedent. However, during the second race, there was an error in releasing the lead horse and chasing horse, so the superintendent ordered a restart. The chasing horse's chief priest Shigetaka broke away and stopped midway. The lead horse's assistant head priest Kiaaki did not release his grip. At this point, the supervisors at the exit could not bear it, and both horses could not be made to run, so they were withdrawn. The superintendent then ordered another restart, making it two restarts total. Also during the third race, the chasing horse's priest Kakioka Yoshikiyo dropped his court cap somewhere past the general stands, so the superintendent again ordered a restart. This was a rare occurrence. Furthermore, while Shizuori-shō's horse was ash-gray, the provisional inspector Taguchi's record listed it as deer-brown, so the superintendent inquired through the supervisor about this discrepancy. The reply was: "When I inquired with the horse officials, they said deer-brown, so I recorded it as such - what should be done?" After consultation, Superintendent Tsunetake spoke with the head priest, who immediately addressed Taguchi, concluding that this was entirely Taguchi's negligence. Later, at the superintendent's residence, Taguchi...
