vent it. lie persuaded and threatened certain jockeys
by turns, but his orders were disobeyed with a reckless-
ness which was quite surprising, ccesideriog how
severely the stewards of the Jockey Club have of late dealt
with delinquent jockeys. To draw up the competitors
in compact order, and at • proper distance
behind the post, was a task which was as irksome to Mr.
Mtieorge to accomplish es it was tedious to the spectators
to witness. Both Sam Rogers and George Fonlhatu, is
the nest praiseworthy manner, set a good example by •
eerupulowi obedience to the starter's orders ; but their good
conduet was not Imitated. After nearly a dozen false starts,
in which Tattoo, Bilverhair, Couleur de Hose, Gabrielle
d'Estrees, Nemesia, and Fairwater were the moat prominent
performers, the signal was given, and Caller Ou, on
the outside, gut away about two lengths to ad-
vance, followed by Nemesis second, Fairwater third,
Tattoo, Gabrielle d'Fatrees, Queen of the Vale, lowly
Ripon, and the Babette filly leading the ruck. Just after
peeling the mile post, Fairwater took up the running,

stand, got on good terms with Lady Ripon, and getting her
hood in front, won after a severe race by a neck, Fairwater
finishing a length only from Lady Rip' on and three lengths
from the third came Silverhair, who was dogged la from the
I distance. At a wide interval from her was NVoenhat, fifth,

Nemesis, and Vergissmein•Nieht, in the order named.
Wild Wave was pulled up and did not pass the post.
