' THE GREAT METROPOLITAN DAY.
Never has It been °urge:mince to treat td a mare uninteresting
day's sport on the Metropolitan day; the weather was dull and
cheerless, the attendance by no means large, and there was •
total dunce of that holiday-making and pleasure-seeking de-
nted usually observed on this day. The betting an the pcinctgal
dm had ,been confined to Mitring and Treasure Trove, whuse
pidilic performances were considered an good that it was looked
twu as a match between the pair, and although the Introduction
of Lucifer into the quotations rendered the race slightly
mere open, the chief amount of speculation both yes-
and to-day wasin favour ot baring, and so freely
relay and
Smile's filly supported that 1100 to 1000, and then level
money, was accepted during the morning. When the starters
were announced the fielders wean offered 11 to 10 against Eak-
rhvg, Lucifer being next in demand at 3to 1, while 'theism*
Trove, who had been rather unsteady in the market, was very
firm at 7to 2. As will be seen, the backers of the favourite
were early doomed to dinappointineut, as Eakring completely
overpowered little Kenyon, and bolted out of the course, and
world not be stopped antil nearly reaching the Derby starting
ppoastt AI might be anticipated, the bookmakers were in
Ltgb glee at the discomfiture of the favourite, and
• Perfect roar of delight arms from the ring when they saw Mr.
Savile's yellow and scarlet cap" being borne away from the
eompetitors, tat not in the direction the backers wished.
Treasure Trove, full of running, went to the front when safely
round Tattenham-corner, andi won easily by four tenpin from
Waller- Sandal. lidding with a nuiligtalled to obtain the pail-
Mon she occupied last year (when she ran second to Planet) by a
head only, During the afternoon Redcap caws with sod a rush
for the (:haler Cup that as lid* as 0 to 1 was taken, and Iles-
Imre Trove, on the strength of his Metropothen videry, was
body beckett co: down to 100 to a. The following is a re-

The seven competft us took their preliminary canters, and with
little delay assembled at the poet, and the flag was lowered to
the first attempt. The bumf*, almost pulling 'rearm out of
the
Sandal,saddle, at once took • alight lead of Lucifer. Quarantine, and
Hurrah, clue up with whom were the others, with the axe=
ofwho was two or three lengths in the rem.
entering the old cones%ith.ed7favourite took a char lead, and
Lucifer being palled Hurrah took second place, Lord St.
Vincent's colt being next, Florence, who lied Trauma Trove
and Quareintifte at her girths, being next. These poultices were
maintained as they proarodad up the hill, the favourite still carry-
ing on the running at &merry pace to the bend before reaching the
milepost, whore, overpowering Kenyon, she ran out of the 00WIC
taking with her Hurrah, and the chances of the pair being thus
early extinguished, their defeat was annoy uced by an exulting
shout from the ring. In the next few hundred yards Quarantine
went to the front, but on ruching the threeesuater mile part,
Lucifer deprived her of the lead, and, rounding the bend, she
dropped away, leaving Lady Florence and Treasure Trove in
close attendance on the leader, with Sandal in their wake.
Mr. Brayley's mare, before ruching Tattenham-corner, held a
slight lead, but rapidly compounding on entering the straight
she dropped away, and Lucifer In the centre of the wares looked
moat fonnidahle, the race appearing to be a match between him
and Treasure Trove, who, running well on the lower ground,
took the lead two didances from home ; Sandal, however, who
had run wide at the turn, gradually dosed, and Chalioner
bringing him with a rush at the commencement of the enclo-
sure for a moment looked formidable, but Treasure Trove easily
held his advantage, and woo by heir lengths; Lad/sr only de-
feated Sandal by a bead for 'mad place. The other two,
when pursuit was hopeless, were pulled up, and did not pea the
