After a wretched start, Captain Knight, Dermott As-
thore, and Lavid Ann jumped off in front; but the start
not being considered a proper one, David Ann was stopped,
as were several others, until the flag was obsersed to be
down. Dermott Asthore, having came in collision with
some of the spectators who had encroached too far upon the
course, fell, and left Captain Knight with a long lead,
which he maintained to the last turn, where the Jessie colt
went up, and the pair raced home together, but the latter,
having more "go " in him, won by a short neck ; four
lengths between second and third. Whiteley was thrown
through coming in contact with Dermott Asthore, and two
other horses were also knocked out of their pace, but their
jockeys sustained no damage beyond a shaking. An ob-
jection was lodged against the winner, on the ground that
it was "no start," but the official appealed to declared it
to have been a start. Crisis did not run, her jockey having
pulled up, thinking it was no start.
