Despair made the running up to the Stand, then Hypo-

Stand, wher3 he was headed by Spitfire Kitty, who made
running along the far side, followed by Hypochondriac,
Despair, and Lioness, in the order named. Nearing the
turn for home Fisherman's Daughter joined the front rank,
and in the straight the headed Spitfire Kitty, and came on
with the race in hand, winning easily by two lengths ;
Spitfire Kitty defeating Minstrel by a head for second
place. Hypochondriac was fourth, Lioness fifth, Despair
sixth, and Dormouse last. After the lot had passed the
post, they went on, most of the jockeys thinking that an-
other circuit of the course had to be made. Despair soon
went to the front, and ultimately passed the judge a dozen
lengths in front, the rest pulling up, and though the num-
ber of Fisherman's Daughter—the actual winner—v,!6
hoisted, an impression for a long time prevailed, both in
and outside the ring, that Lord Bateman's horse WAS the
winner.
