The lot wire weighed out in excellent time by Mr. Man-
ning, but the start was delayed considerably owing to •
variety of causes. With the exception of Writes, and
Prince George the whole of the competitors took their pro.
liminsry canter. The first attempt to despatch them was
frustrated by tits breaking away of Rhine Wine, who was
very frootius, and ran to the top of the bill twice. Wars,
Ironmaster, Laird of Scotland, Charawood, and Brother to
Knight of the Crescent also displayed temper, but the
delay was occasioned by the anxiety of the ' -wiuys to got

After five insifootnal attempts, and whoa the pawn of
the spootators was well-nigh exhausted, the bag was
dropped to • moderate start. Ironmaster on the right was

of the lot had settled in their stride, Mr. Headman's esb
