Nelusko. The whole of the eleven competitors, with the
exception of Stamford and The Parson, were saddled in
the • bird-cage " enclosure attached to the Cesarewitch
stand. The toilettes of the ho with two exceptions,
were completed at the Ditch stables. The lot reached the
post in excellent time, and the flag was dropped at the
fret attempt, the eleven stretching in a line across the
muss. Nelusko, immediately after starting, took a clear
lead, having a position on the left—or stand side—The
lad in the centre of the coarse, Sir David Gam and The
Parson on the right, being level with each other, Lyming-

most prominent of the remainder ; Bloc Gown lying at the
quarters of Lymington, Belfast andßituslist holding for-
ward positions, the former lying up on the right with The
Parson, whilst the latter was on the extreme left. As
they ran across the flat Belfast retired from the van, and
Blue Gown, who bad been on the left of The Earl,
dropped back slightly. Before they ranched the Bushes
Hill the field was somewhat scattered, and when the
wint indicated was approached Nelusko Erequirasy,
The Earl in the centre then being left with a •ht lead,
and at this point the issue rested between the of
Hastings horse sad Blue Gown (who took seciundplace when
the" Frenchman" retired, but he was now discernible on
the whip hand of The Earl, having changed sides), Suffolk
and Nelusko, who ware almost in a line, and coming on at
a good pace, and some distance iu advance of Ritualist,
Belfast and Stamford being in the rear. Before reatng
the dip the Earl and Blue Gown drew away, Sir J
Hawley's horse being about a head in the rear of the
favourite. The Earl ran with great gawenesa and Blue
Gown never being able to quite get up, sustained a very
clever neck defeat. Four lengths separated second and
third, and half a length third and fourth. Some distance
in rear of Nelusko Ritualist was fifth, about a length in
advance of the Parson, sixth. Then came Lymington and
=at together clear of Sir David Gam who was
by Belfast.'
The last of all was Stamford, who
was fully tea lengths in the rear of Belfast.
