and rho Flyaway colt, believing it to be a start, were lid-
den home to the chair, in the actual start Forester, on the
right, got away slightly in advance 'of,East Sheen, close up
with whom came Light. The three ran nearly abreast to
half-way up the hill. where Forester appeared to be winning
easily, but on reaching the stand he was challenged by the
two favourites, and running exceedingly raw, ho just got
home the winner by a head—a like distance separated East
Sheen from Light, the Pass Curd colt was a bad fourth, and

the Flyaway colt fifth.

Upon entering into their places Edinburgh took a clear
lead, closely attended by his stable companion Success on
the right, Rejection, Kingmaker, and Aline to the turn,
when the latter came past her horses, and took a decided
lead, but bolting immediately after, she was out of the race.
This contretemps left Rejection with a slight lead of Success,
the pair being joined at the distance by Saloon and Cook
Crow, who ran in company to the brow of the hill, where
the latter was beaten leaving the issue with the three; Suc-
cess, who stumbled is the last stride, just winning by a

diately she was mounted across the common and she did
not start.

Betting-5 to 4 agst Prescription, 2to 1 agst Persuasion,
and 4 to 1 agst Dermot Astore.

The flag was lowered to a very objectionable start, in
which Persuasion jumped round, and was left at the post.
Prescription got away with a commanding lead, which he
retained to the end, and won in a canter by two lengths.
There were three lengths between the second and third. On
returning to weigh the owner of Dermot Amore made an
objection to the start, on the ground that the winner was
considerably in advance of the starting post when the flag
was lowered. The stewards after hearing evidence upon
the case gave their decision in favour of Prescription, and
exonerated the starter from all blame.
