at Epsom, and certainly is as splendid and bloodlike a horse
as this year has seen. They laid 11 to 10 on him, 10 to 1 agst
the Knight, and these two were alone in the race. Singling
themselves out at the Stand, they ran home together, Cap-
tain Cooper's horse not being able to quite reach the favour-
rite, who won an exciting race by a neck. The Cup betting
had been limited to the two favourites, Lord Clifden and the
Chief, a small field being anticipated. After the above race,
Mr Merry's colt took a decided lead, and was first favourite
when the flag fell.
The customary parade of the Cup horses took place in the
royal enclosure. Lord Clifden looked short of work, and the
Chief appeared not to have forgotten his previous race. They
were got down to the post after their preliminary canter,
and the flag fell about an hour and a half after the time ap-
pointed. It is sufficient here to say that Wingrave looked
as well as anything until the turn into the straight; that
Lord Clifden was never in the race ; and that the Chief, who
had been lying well with his horses, came out at the Stand,
and won very easily by s'ix lengths.

10 to 1 each agst Knight of Snowdon, Little Gentleman,
and Young Rapid, 100 to 8 eget Master Richard, and 100
to 7 agst Blue Mantle.
The flag was lowered to a very unsatisfactory start, Va-
cuna, whose head was turned from her horses, being left
hopelessly behind. The Little Gentleman was the first away,
and made the running, closely attended by Master Richard
and Glendusk, the three being followed nearly abreast by
Scottish Chief, King George, and Knight of Saowdon, close
in whose wake came Blue Mantle and Young Rapid, Bat-
taglia and Vacuna brineing up the rear. Approaching the
bend Master Richard joined the leader, the pair coming into
the straight together, when they were joined by the favou-
rite, who came up on the inside, and Knight of Snowdon
and Glendusk in the centre of the course. They ran thus
to half way up, where the Little Gentleman dropped back,
and the favourite took a clear lead, bat was caught at the
enclosure by Knight of Snowdon—Blue Mantle at the same
time headed Master Richard and joined issue with the
leaders, who finished a fine race home, Scottish Chief, run-
ning the longest, winning very cleverly at last by a neck.
Blue Mantle, who was stopped, finished four lengths in their
rear and a neck in advance of Master Richard. King George
was fourth, Glendusk fifth, the Little Gentleman sixth, and
Young Rapid next. Battaglia and Vacuna trotted in last,

6to 1 agst Auditor, 10 to 1 agst Bonnie Lass, and 10 to 1
each agst Cutty Queen filly and Nervous colt,
Through the impatience of several of the light weights,
who repeatedly broke away, the start was delayed some dime.
At last the signal was lowered, when the running was taken
up by Lemonade in the centre of the course, followed on the
left by the Nervous colt, and wide on the Stand side by
Auditor and Le Me,:hante, the others being brought up
under the command of sister to Tomato, Bonnie Lass,
Kathleen, Sequence, and Mail Train. They ran thus to
the distance, wbvu the two leaders drew and came on toge-
ther to the Stand, when Morgan brought up Auditor and
joined the leaders, the three running from this point a close
and exciting race home, Lemonade winning in the last stride
by a head, thus Nervous colt defeating Auditor by a like
distance for second. La Mechante was fourth, close up;
sister to Tomato fifth; Kathleen sixth, and GedmerNhara
next, The others, headed by Sequence, Mail Train, Hol-
kar, and Dino, were pulling up as they passed the post, the
last being Lopear and Edmanston.

Betting-2 to 1 agst KoDnig, 3to 1 agst Furze Chat, sto
1 agst Zambesi, 100 to 8 each agat The Clown and Convent,
and 20 to 1 agat Quaker.

The fractiousness of Koenig and Audax delayed the
start some time, the former on several occasions breaking
away and running to within two distances from home.
When fairly in their places Mr M'George lowered his flag,
when Mr Sutton's two, on the upper ground, were seen in
advance of Convent and the favourite, Zambezi, with La
Fortune, The Clown, and Goldylocks following next. On
reaching the enclosure Jezebel and her stable companion
gave way, and the lead was immediately taken up by
Zambezi, who was challenged at the stand by Koenig, bat
who failed to get up, and was beaten in a very easy manner
by two lengths, a length and a half separating the
second and third. The Clown was a bad fourth, Andes
fifth, and Convent sixth ; La Fortune and Quaker, side by
side, were the next two. Goldylocks and Furze Chat were
the last two.

Outlaw jumped off with the lead, followed by Hark For-
ward and Knight of Snowdon. The trio continued along
the Swinley bottom in this order until coming into the
straight, where the Knight drew up to the front ; but
Hark Forward collaring him opposite the Royal Stand he
shut up, and Mr Bowes's colt won by half a length; three

Alabama rushed to the front immediately the signal was
given and came on with a strong lead, followed by Win-
grave, Little Stag, Gibraltar, the favourite, and Lord
Zetland in the order we have given, and at an interval
of three lengths came Molly Carew, Ranger, and Lord
Clifden nearly abreast. In these positions they came
past the stand, but as they rounded the top turn Little
Stag rushed to the front and descended the hill three
or four lengths in advance of Alabama, Wingrave going
on third, with Scottish Chief, and Lord Zetland,
side by side, next, followed by Gibraltar and Ranger; the
ethers still lying off. Half way along the Swinley bottom,
Alabama gave way and speedily joined the rear division,
which left the Baron's colt in attendance upon the leader,
the pair being joined at the old mile post by the favourite,
close up with whom were Lord Zetland and Ranger. As
they approached the bend they got upon closer terms, and
ran so into the straight, where Scottish Chief headed Win-
grave, and half way up took a decided lead, and won in a
canter by half a dozen lengths, Little Stag defeated Lord
Zetland by three lengths for second. Wingrave finished a
bad fourth, pulling up, Ranger fifth, and Lord Clifden
sixth. The last were Molly Carew and Gibraltar.
