agst Stockinger and Planet, 100 to 8 agst Brick, 100 to 6
each agst Charming Woman and Gaily, and 33 to 1 each
agst Black Deer and My Mary.
The three quarters of an hour allowed between the Corin-
thian Stakes and the time set for the Autumn Cup was
made good use of, as the numbers of the dozen competitors
were exhibited long before the usual time ; this led to the
horees going to-the starting post earlier than the public ex •
pected, and about 10 or 12 minutes before the appointed
hour the flag was lowered and the race commenced. They
left the post in close company, but before they had gone
many strides Black Deer, evidently with the intention of
making a pace for the Beaver, rushed to the front, closely
followed by Donnybrook and Tartar, the three running
nearly abreast to the stables' turn. When fairly round
this point, Tartar, evidently overpulling " Jemmy,"
headed his horses, and proceeded along the far side
with a clear lead of Donnybrook, Black Deer,
and Charming Woman, to whom succeeded Gaily, Stockin-
ger, Twilight, My Mary, Planet, and the Beaver, in a body.
Brick and Franfreluche, who appeared unable to live the
pace thus early made, were seen gradually dropping in the
rear of everything. Increasing his advantage, Tartar on
rounding the bridge turn was upwards of half-a-dozen
lenghts in advance of his followers, the pace having been
hitherto so strong as to dispose of three parts of the field,
which at this point began to exhibit a lengthened appear-
ance. As they neared the T.Y.C. post the favourite, who
had hitherto held his own, gave evidence of defeat, and on
entering the straight Taylor was observed to be hard upon
his horse. Shortly afterwards he disappeared from the
front, and his place was taken by Gaily, who headed those
remaining with a chance, including Black Deer, Twilight,
and My Mary, and with The Beaver on the extreme right.
These struggled on into the distance, when Twilight ran
through her tired horses, and for a brief period headed John
Osleorne's filly ; but upon Fordham finding the old male's
chance extinguished at the Stand he eased her, snd left
Gaily to do battle with the Tartar, She had not, however,
a chance of success, as Mr Jackson's colt won very cleverly
at last by three lengths ; Planet, who ran past a lot of pull-
ing-up horses, finished fourth, and close up with him came
Beaver, fifth, My Mary sixth, and Stockinger and Brick
seventh and eighth; the last lot comprised Black Deer,
Charming Woman, and Fanfrelucho.

Alice was in difficulties; at the distance she was headed by
