three failures, jumping away with a clear lead of Gardener,
who was succeeded after another clear interval by Quick-
sand, at the head of the nick. in the rear of whom were
Ibex, Pelios, and Outpost. They ran with very little varia-
tion in their relative positions until half way round the turn,
half a mile from the finish, where Vabalathua took his
place alongside of Raglan on the whip hand, and the pair
quitting the remainder, ran an exciting race for the last
quarter of a mile, but Vabalathus failing to get up, was
beaten by a short head; Ibex was a bad third, and the next
two, pulling up, were Gardener and Outpost; the rest
widely scattered being whipped in by Ironsidea.
