at Epsom, and certainly is as splendid and bloodlike a horse
as this year has seen. They laid 11 to 10 on him, 10 to 1 eget
the Knight, and these two were alone in the race. Singling
themselves out at the Stand, they ran home togethir, Cap-
tain Cooper's horse not being able to quite reach the favour-
rite, who won an exciting race by a neck. The Cup betting
had been limited to the two favourites, Lord Clifden and the
Chief, a small field being anticipated. After the above race,
Mr Merry's colt took a decided lead, and was first favourite
when the flag fell.
The customary parade of the Cup horses took place in the
royal enclosure. Lerd Clifden looked short of work, and the
Chief appeared not to have forgotten his previous race. They
were get down to the poet after their preliminary canter,
and the flag fell about an hour and a half after the time ap-
pointed. It is sufficient here to say that Wing-ave looked
as well as anything until the turn into the straight; that
Lord Clifden was never in the race ; and that the Chief, who
had been lying well with his horses, came out at the Stand,
and won very easily by six lengths.

10 to 1 each agst Knight of Snowdon, Little Gentleman,
and Young Rapid, 100 to 8 agst Master Richard, and 100
to 7 agst Blue Mantle.
The flag was lowered to a very unsatisfactory start, Va-
cuna, whose head was turned from her horses, being left
hopelessly behind. The Little Gentleman was the first away,
and made the running, closely attended by Master Richard
and Glendusk, the three being followed nearly abreast by
Scottish Chief, King George, and Knight of Snowdon, close
in whose wake came Blue Mantle and Yoang Rapid, Bat-
taglia and Vacuna bringing up the rear. Approaching the
bend Master Richard joined the leader, the pair coming into
the straight together, when they were joined by the favou-
rite, who came up on the inside, and Knight of Snowdon
and Glendusk in the centre of the course. They ran thus
to half way up, where the Little Gentleman dropped back,
and the favourite took a clear lead, but was caught at the
enclosure by Knight of Snowdon—Blue Mantle at the same
time headed Master Richard and joined issue with the
leaders, who finished a fine race hume, Scottish Chief, run-
ning the longest, winning very cleverly at last by a neck.
Blue Mantle, who was stopped, finished four lengths in their

6 to 1 apt Auditor, 10 to 1 agst Bonnie Lass, and 10 to 1
each agst Cutty Quean filly and Nervous colt,

Through the impatience of several of the light weights,
who repeatedly broke away, the start was delayed some
At last the signal was lowered, when the running was taken
up by Lemonade in the centre of the course, followed on the
left by the 2; ervous colt, and wide on the Stand side by
Auditor and Le Mearante, the others being brought up
under the command of sister to Tomato, Bonnie Lass,
Kathleen, Sequence, and Mail Train. They ran thus to
the distance, wi en the two leaders drew and came on toge-
ther to the Stand, when Morgan brought up Auditor and
joined the leaders, the three running from this point a close
and exciting race home, Lemonade winning in the last stride
by a head, the Nervous colt defeating Auditor by a like
distance for second. La Mechante was fourth, close up;
sister to Tomato tif h; Kathleen sixth, and G,;dtnersham

1 agst Zambesi, 100 to 8 each agst The Clown and Convent,
and 20 to 1 agst Quaker.
The fractiousness of Kcenig and Audas delayed the
start some time, the former on several occasions breaking
away and running to within two distances from home.
When fairly in their places Mr M'George lowered his flag,
when Mr Sutton's two, on the upper ground, were seen in
advance of Convent and the favourite, Zambezi, with La
Fortune, The Clown, and Goldylocks following next. On
reaching the enclosure JezAbel and her stable companion
gave way, and the lead was immediately taken up by
Zambezi, who was challenged at the stand by Kcanig, but
who failed to getup, and was beaten in a very easy manner
by two lengths, a length and a half separating the
sccDnd and third. The Clown was a bad fourth, Audax
fifth, and Convent sixth; La Fortune and Quaker, side by

the others, who wero headed by Advance, Harold, and The
Swift, running nearly in a line some two or three lengths
in their rear. On reaching the Stand Adams brought

ease by ten lengths, The Grinder, Belgrave, and Joss Stick
finishing a splendid race home for second place, which
terminated in a dead heat between the two first, Joss Stick

however, was unable to reach Redcap, who won in a canter
by eight lengths ; two lengths between the second and third,
Belle of the Vale was fourth, Rappel fifth, Antonia sixth,
Figaro seventh, and Valencia last.
We should be doing an injustice to one of the most effec-
tual aids to the success of these Ascot meetings if we failed
to mention the skill and bars with which the A division o
police under Mr Superintendent Walker discharged their
duties. It is rarely that the police please everybody, but at
this meeting at Ascot they appear to have accomplished
that most difficult result, and that they certainly tried hard
to do so is deserving of every praise.
