Mr Naylor's two, and in the re
Copenhagen, Straffn-1
by W. •

came Knight of Snowdon,
...a, and Major, who were whipped in
Ackworth, Planet, Outlaw, Privateer,
and Dormouse, the last, who was scarcely able to
canter, being stopped before they reached the brow of the
hill and walked home. On entering the fumes Warrior
suddenly disappeared from the front, followed in a few
strides further by Signalman, leaving General Peel on the
lower side with a slight lead, but who was speedily headed
by Ely, who, in company with Bireh Broom, Scottish
Chief, and the Major, came on in advance, closely
attended by General Peel, Historian, Knight of Snowdon,
Cambuscan, Coastguard, and Blair Athol, to the mile-post,
when Major fell back, and his place was taken by the Mal-
ton, favourite, who came on in waiting upon the favourites
to halfway down the hill, when he joined Coastguard, the
pair running in company until fairly round Tattenham Cor-
ner, when Ely was beaten, and General Peel, apparently full
of running, had the lead, closely pressed by Scottish
Chief, Birch Broom, Historian, and Blair Athol, the
latter biding his time until they crossed the road, when
he ran past his horses, and joined the General on the upper
ground, followed by Mr, Merry's colt to the distance, where
the pair had the latter beaten, and gradually drew away to
the enclosure, where Snowdon called upon his horse, who
without the slightest effort quitted his opponent and won
with the most ridiculous ease by a couple of lengths, the
General defeating Scottish Chief by three lengths for the
second money, the latter being three-quarters of a length in
advance of Knight of Snowdon, who was half that distance
before Cambuscan, Birch Broom, Ely, and Historian
finishing next, within a length of Captain White's colt,
close up with whom were Coastguard, Baragab, Paris, and
Appennine. The others, who were pulling up as they
trotted past the post, were widely distributed, the last of
which were Warrior, Privateer, Surat, Master Richard,
and Major, and a long way in their rear walked in among
the dense crowd Dormouse.
The net value of the stake was £6,675.

and Triumpher bringing up the rear. Descending the hill
Diomed dropped back and Humphrey took third place, the
leaders going on with the running to the Stand, where
Diomed drew up, but failed to reach Oberon, who won
easily by three-quarters of a length, half a length between
the second and third, Humphrey was fourth, Kingswood
fifth, and Triumpher sixth. Ostentation was left at the

Coeur de Lion, and Antidote to the half-mile post, where

suming the lead again, and continuing to the Stand, where

The Duke of Cambridge made all the running to the
Stand, with Poland, Tomfoolery, and Dolphin lying next,
where Poland drew to the front and won by a neck, the
Duke of Cambridge and Virginia making a dead heat for
second place. Vesta's rider broke his stirrup leather at
starting and was dismounted—the mare joining the other
horses in the race without her jockey.
