THE RACE.

At the second attempt a very good start was effected.
Miss Whip filly jumped off in front, Cave Adullam taking se-
cond place, Amy third, and Clotilde fourth, Capucine and
Nettle being the next two ; but, after running a short dis-
tance, Amy went in advance, Nettle ring on second, and
Marchioness third, the others clustering up. After passing
the milepost on the brow of the bill, Nettle bolted to the
left, fell over the chains, and afterwards made her way down
among the furze bushes. Marlow was thrown, and, unfortu-
nately, had his thigh fractured. Meanwhile Capucine en-
couraged the hopes of her backers by taking her colours to
the fore, Blooming Heather and Marchioness being now se-
cond and third, Clotilde and Amy being the next two.
No further change of moment occurred until they
bad crossed the road at the beginning of the straight,
when Capucine gave way. Marchioness then came on
with the lead, with Blooming Heather in close pursuit ;
the latter made a vigorous effort to achieve the victory, but
was beaten cleverly by half a length. Two lengths between
the second and third, and the same between third and fourth.
Amy was fifth, Dame Judith sixth, Chalice seventh. Cave
Adullam eighth, Miss Whip filly ninth, and Sole Star tenth.
