Velar to the start the arrival of the hones in the paddock was
anticipated with the greatest excitement, and the attendance of
1 the spectators was decidedly one of the smallest that has to-en
seen for years, each of the cracks being seen without the lent
difficulty. One of the first arrivals In the enclosure was Hermit,
who as usual suffered from the fickleness of popular fa.
your, and be walked about by himself unheeded, while
Vauban, tocas, and Distin, in charge of young John Day, were
fairly "eaten up." and surrounded with the favourite eager
backers. The Rake's coming was anxiously walled for, bat. like
Blair Athol and Gladiateur, he was not brought into the paddock
at all, and much disappointment was evinced whoa the bright
" Mexican blue" jacket was seen by the side of Sherwood's pad-
dock, and it was at once apparent that they did not intend to
submit him to the vulgar scrutiny. Shortly afterwards his
trainer, Joseph Dawson, on a hack cantered with The Rake
round to Tattenham Conker, many hundreds of race gismos
being directed towards him by those interested is the horse's
welfare. Another disappointment was the non-appearance
of Marksman, who was saddled elsewhere. In doe course a way
wee cleared through the crowd, sad the competitors in Indian
file came on to the course for their canters. The e iuree having
been cleared, and Martin Starling haying given the signal by
waving his handkerchief, the horses took their preliminary can-
ters, The Palmer and Owen Olyndwr being the first to pan the
stand. The whole of the thirty competitors cantered, and no
exception was taken to the appearance or style of going of any
of the prominent favourites, the only thing worth mentioning
being the feet thst Hermit was the last of the lot to take his
prellrolnery" On reaching the starting post it was evident
there would be some delay In getting the large field under weigh
as D'Eatournel was at once taken charge of by a man, who held
the " gangs's" heed to prevent him performing to his usual
fractious style at the start, while several of the competitors,
doubtless °Wykg orders to force the owe, were particularly
anxious to get off. The first attempt to start them was at
but after a succession of eleven false starts, in which about
three-quarters of an hour wee wasted, they were despatched on
excellent terms, rite the exceptien of D'Estonnsel, who the
moment his head was loosened, reared straight up, standing
momentarily on his hind legs. and finally dropping &mu,
whipped of lu the opposite direction, and created some conster-
nation in the crowd by attempting tonnes some of the nearest
spectators. Thus Mr. Revile's colt was like Tambour Major In
Maccaroas year, left at the post, and took no part in the
race. After taking a few strides, Julius showed In front of
Bedlamite, and Vauban, who could be observed slightly
in advance of the others, who were lying in such compact order
that it would be superfluous, and next to impossible, to describe
their positions. When about IV yards had been traversed, Bed.
lamite rushed to the front, Julius sad Skyeall lying second and
third, while Wild Moor. Vauban, The Resew, Van Arnhem/it,
Owain Olyndwr, the Palmer, and Oipsy King, were observable
in a cluster, next to whom came Hermit, The Rake heading the
ruck, the field beginning already "to tall." As they approached
the mile post Bedlainito suddenly dropped away and Vauban
took up the running with a length lead of Wild 'Moor, next to
whom came Van Amburgh, Julius, Mothsrean, The Rake,
The Palmer, Hermit, and Gipsy ILing, while The
Rescue and Owain Olyndwr headed the remainder, who
followed in straggling order, the rear being whipped In by Mas-
ter Butterfly, Terabits, who ran very " currishly" all the way,
and the Amanda mit. The leaders streamed round Tottenham
Corner la the above enumerated order, Vauban leading Into the
straight, with Mortensen on the lower ground, Van Aniburgh
and Wild Moor well up with bun on the whip hand, while The
Palmer, next the rens, The Rake and Hermit in the ante, were
slightly in rear of them. The Ant to crack were The Rake and
The Palmer, whose bright colours were immediately distinguished
by their hackers on entering the straight, and Wild Moor ringlf
