he appeered dead bud, notwithstanding a most liberal
applieatloa of whip and spar, the tide of ormadence began
to tare ; but this by no means lessened the serprhe with
which Winkfield, the property of Mr. Walker, a licensed
victualler, was seen a minute after to ay away from all
competitors, and win by more than a length. Sauceboat,
the favourite of the prophets, came in second, and Man-
ganese, the ladies' pat, had to be content with taw third
plus. The rase was prosounced to be • good, honest rem,
end well contested, and much muse was given to Bartholo-
mew, the rider of the wisest, for the great skill and ad-
mirable temper with which he managed his horse. And
sow cammenced the rush dawn the staircases of the Grand
Staid, like that of the crusti•roam at the opera, and the

cold beef. Little fesedionsuess was then shown in the
choice of place or viands by countesses and dashers',
while the ladies Termite and Brinengarde occasionally
condescended even to mustard. Neither was bottled
stout nor pale ale prohibited in the replace of
