cluster. When some 550 yards bad been traversed, Asvernake
drew up to Lord Igen, and Knight of the Crescent closely fol-
lowed. Who they emerged from behind the hill Lord Glasgow's
colt was observed to have the lead still, with Lord /Jon second,
Waldwick third, Caithness fourth, and Savernake, Who had been
slightly eased; fifth. On nearing the Red Home, the Young Mel-
bourne soil had fairly run himself out, and retired to the rear
beaten, Wastwick, who up to this point had shown wonderfully
well, also giving in, Comlni into the straight Lord Lyon held the
lead, with Caithness at Ms ribs Savernake third, Knight of the
Crescent fourth, and Streit coneWnext. When about 500 yards
imp home, Caithness disappeared from the front. The actual
competitors were now reduced to three, Lord Lyon being in the
centre, Knight of the Crescent neat the rails, and Savernake on
the outside. On reaching the distance. Knight of the Crescent was
about a length in the rear, while the two favourites were on
nearly even terms. For the but two hundred yards the contest
resolved itself into a match, the two racing neck and neck until
they reached the fudge's boa, which they passed in each close
order together, that the issue remained in doubt to the multitude,
until the hoisting of Lord Lyon's number proclaimed him the
winner, the judge's fiat giving the race in as won by a head.
Knight of the Crescent finished, four lengths in the rear of the
leading par, third : Strathoonan was fourth, two lengths be-
hind " the Knight e• Caithness, at a similar interval, was Sigh ;
Weetwick Math, the Young Melbourne colt seventh, deaLkin
eighth, and Pederasts ninth. Emigrant and Earetield, last Dna
long way, walked in with the crowd. Net value of the stakes,
£5,325. The gameness of the struggle, the excellence of the
kiekeyship, the nearness of the finish, and the enthusiasm and
excitement of the myriads that swarmed the Town Moor will
cause the St. Leger of 1305 to stand out as one of the most pro-
raiment events in the annals of the English tart.
