which Cheviot passed a couple of lengths in advance of
Surrogate, Brine third, Johnny and Pantaloon abreast next,
whilst a long way from the latter followed The Useless
Brute, and Little Nell still further in the rear to the fence
going out of the winning field, where she was pulled up
and walked back. The leading lot continued in pretty close
order over the remainder of the fences until reaching
the farm-house, where Cheviot increased her lead, and Pan-
taloon dropped back into the rear. After jumping the
second hurdle from home, the Useless Brute began to put
on the steam, and, coming on with a wet sail, passed his
horses in succession, until he came up to Cheviot, but being
nearly pumped out, Cheviot drew away from him after
clearing the last hurdle, and won easily by a couple of
lengths; Johnny a bad third; Brine was nest; and Pan-

Ironsides with The Screw jumped off side by side, but
before reaching the first fence Ben Land's horse was steadied,
and 'I he Screw went on with the lead, Miss Emma second
Ironsides third, the favourite bringing up the rear. This
order was maintained until nearing the enclosure the first
time round, where Miss Emma passed The Screw, and led
round the top turn, Ironsides and Light of Other Days
third and fourth, to the second fence out of the winning field,
which Light of Other Days refused. He had to be put at it a
second time, when he got safely over, but by his refusal lost
many lengths. Going along the back-stretch Light of
Other Days again got on good terms with his horses, Iron-
sides dropping back, and when coming over the big meadow
past the farmhouse was at least 20 lengths from his horse,
The Screw still leading, Miss Emma and the favourite
well up. At the flight of hurdles entering the straight The
Screw blundered, and Light of Other Days joined Miss
Emma, but before reaching the last jump Ironsides had
joined them, and, quitting the pair half way up the straight,
won easily by four lengths. Light of Other Days was
eased opposite the stand, and Miss Emma obtained the
second place ; the favourite a good fourth. The Screw
cantered in last.

headed by Forlorn Hope, going on in Indian fits, Cyclops
whipping in, to the large meadow, where White Stockings

Hope well up, Heliopolis and Cyclops last. The latter on
reaching the top turn pulled up, and walked back into the
saddling enclosure. The others ran along the back-
stretch, where the pace began to tell upon the majority
of the field, as on coming over the big meadow four only
appeared in the race, namely, Bracknell, Übique, and Arm-
less well together, and Heliopolis a dozen lengths in their
rear. Before rounding the bottom turn Armless gave way,
and was soon passed by Heliopolis, who made his effort to
reach the two leaders, but failed ; as they had the finish
to themselves, Bracknell, running the longest, won easily
by four lengths. Heliopolis a bad third. The others pulled
