The favourite, after the first 200 yards, went to the front,
was never after approached, and won in a canter by three
lengths. Teiscombe, who beaded Flower Safety at the stand,
was so unmistakeably stopped as to call for the attention of
the stewards, who decided that all horses trained by Mr
R. FAnso3, and those belonging to Mr Mellon, should be
Debarred from running at this meeting, and notice of such
decision is to be sent to the stewards of the Jockey Club.

Medora, and Avalanche in attendance—then came Bell's
Life, Portland, and Ocean Witch—the rear brought up by
Medora and Yaller Gal. No alteration occurred during the
first round, Ireley still going on with a clear lead, while
Avalanche, who refused at the fence at the tap of the hill,
was left in the rear. All cleared the brook well in the se-
cond round, after which Flyfisher took second place, Wee
Nell dropping back into fourth position, Ladbroke Lass
lying third. Avalanche again refuted at the same fence,
and Portland fell crossing the Swan meadows. Running
round into the straight Flyfisher drew to Ireley's quarters,
at the distance headed him, and went in an easy winner by
20 lengths. Worcester would have been third, but was not
persevered with, and was passed by Yeller Gal—Bell's Life
was fourth, and Iptdbroke Lass filth. Avalanche and the
rest pulled up, and did not pass the post, the last of all
being Ocean Witch.

mac jumped the brook almost together, Jerry and Pelican
lying well up, with Marble Hill and Sir William in the
middle of their horses. Shortly after going over the hill
Jerry fell back beaten, Whaley also giving signs of retiring.
After pissing the Swan meadows Marble Hill drew to the
front, Sir William also joining the leaders at the turn into
