A first-rate start was made, Atlanta taking the lead,
closely followed by Lauver. The former leapt the
hurdles first, which the whole of the horses cleared well.
; Atlanta was the first to show round the turning-post,
and from that time until the conclusion of the heat had
;the race entirely in her favour, and won easily, being I
• 'several lengths in advance of Mermaid. King Richard
' was • bad third, and the other horses were several lengths
' behind. In the second heat the horses again started
almost in neck and neck order, Atlanta taking the lead
• by about • length, slowly followed by Connoiaeur. After
•ellaring the hurdles Atlanta was again the favourite,
Commissar not being able to keep up the Pace. and At-
lanta may be said to have won in a canter. There was
a very good race home between Mermaid and King
Richard, the latter winning by about half a neck.

, The first hest of this race was a very pretty and
- 'eroding one. Patty took the lead by about two lengths
- waited upon by Connoiseur, the other horses being a ell
'together. On nearing the tuning point the
homes appeared to be almost abreast, but
Tatty, who still maintained the lead, lost ground in
turning, which gave Connolitenr • slight advantage.
!., 'On nearing home the latter however loin much ground,
the race being between Patty, Variety, and Flageolet,
. all of whom cleared the last flight of hurdles simtil-
• itaneously, and • most exciting bit of racing took place,
• -which resulted in favour of Patty, who won by about
' a Length. Several lengths separated the second and
: third horses, and Connoiseur might be oonaidered to be
. nowhere at the conclusion of the beat. In the second
, one Patty list again the favourite at starting, and
~ sulateined the lead for a considerable distance, but on
• arriving at the turning post it was evident she would
have all her work cot out to beat Inkerman. These
' two almost ran neck and neck for a long distance, but
' Inkerman won a splendid race by about half • length.
Variety was a good third. In the deciding beat Patty
and Inkerman went off well together at • splendid
pace, Patty again taking the lead and clearing the
; hurdle first. After that jump the pace was very
- materially lessened, and the horses almost cantered
• 'round the turning point. Patty, however, was the
• 'Ann to round, Inkerman going nut to see a short
. distance. By some good running the litter considerably
I lessened tb• distance, and • good race took, plat* until
t after clearing the Lut hurdle, when it was evident that
•• Isakerresa was quite done nl4=4 thus allowed Patty
& to herniae an easy winner. . .
