The QUEEN'S GOLD VASE.—This stake presented this
year a strange misnomer, for it is not gold, nor is it a vase,
but a silver tankard, on the lid of which is modelled a
group consisting of a startled horse held by an Arab, while
another Arab appears to be soothing an irritated snake by
the music of a pipe.
The withdrawal of Virago and Stockwell left only two
starters in the race, which thus became a mere match
between Hermit and Rataplan. They finished thus :
Mr. Gully's Hermit (Wells) 1
Mr. T. Parr's Rataplan ('latinan) 2
When the flag was dropped Hermit walked off, followed
by Rataplan ; after proceeding about three hundred yards
Hermit ventured upoh a gentle trot, and so they went on
until they arrived at the foot of Swinley-hill, when a canter
Was raised, and alter entering the Old Mile Course the pace
Was gradually improved until the race began in earnest;
Hermit then made strong play, and at last won easily by a
length and a half.
