Air. W. Ridsdale's Bloomsbury

Betting-7 to 4 and 2tol on Bloomsbury, 3to 1 agst Epi-
daurus, and 6to 1 agst the Corsair. The last mentioned horse
made play at good speed to the foot of the hill, where it became
first .rate ; the lead and the pace were unchanged to the Red
House turn, where Bloomsbury endeavoured to get up, and
lived a few yards with Epidaurus without reaching the Corsair,
and at the turn into straight running he was fairly beaten.
After passing the Red House r, few lengths Epidaurus went to
The Corsair's girths, where he remained to the distance, headed
him there, was a length before him half way up it, and at the
chair two lengths. Bloomsbury was beaten off a long way.

Duke of Cleveland's Kremlin

Betting-5 to 4on The Provost, 6to 4 agst Kremlin, and 5
to 1 agst The Lord Mayor. Kremlin took the lead, followed
by The Lord Mayor, and was never headed until he reached the
last turn, where he resigned, and The Lord Mayor went on with
the running; at the distance The Provost to his side, and at
the stand they were head and head, 'rhe Provost having the
best of; beyond it, however, he stopped, and The Lord Mayor
won by half a length.

The following also started, but were not placed :—Mr.

Betting-5 to 2 agst Launcelot. 7to 2 agst the Lanjar colt,
5 to 1 agst Naworth, 6 to 1 agst Fitzroy, eto 1 agst The Re-
tainer cult, 7 to 1 agst Black Beck, and 20 to 1 agst Brother to
Euclid.

After three attempts a start, not a very good one, was ef-
fected ; the Retainer colt went off with the lead, followed by
Fitzroy, Launcelot, the Langar colt, and Calypso, Brother to
Euclid lying in the middle; with very little variation they ran
to the gravel-road, where the Langar colt was defeated, and,
retiring, left an opening through which Brother to Euclid
joined the front rank, in which Naworth was now included.
Half-way up the distance the Retainer colt, Fitzroy, Launcelot,
and Brother to Euclid were running together, and the race re-
mained pretty even till past the stand, where the two last men-
tioned had a slight advantage over Fitzroy; the small space of
ground remaining was contested vigoroucly to the end, Brother
to Euclid beating his conquer of Monday by half a neck, and
Launcelot defeating Fitzroy by a whole one. The Retainer
colt was a good fourth, Naworth and Bell's filly fifth and sixth,
and the rest tailed off. The Langar cult was pulled up some
dis, ance from home.

The Cup, value 300 guineas, with 50 sovs added ; three-yr-olds,

Major Yarburgh's b c Charles the Twelfth (31b extra) 1
Mr. Ramsay's br c Lanercost, 4 yrs
Mr. Orde's b m Bee's Wing, 6 yrs
Mr. Denham's b c Compensation, 4 yrs
Betting-5 to 4on Charles (taken), 10 to 6 agst Bee's Wing
( taken), 7 to 4 agst Lanercost, and 20 to 1 agst Compensation.
The favourite went off with the lead, but abandoned it to Hue's
Wing after going two or three hundred yards, and followed her,
Lanercost lying with him ; at the foot of the hill the latter
went up to Charles, and they ran nearly abreast into the bottom,
where Charles resumed his position, and the mare, making the
pace very strong, increased her lead to three or four lengths ;
after roundinc, the Red House turn Lanercost took the second
place from Charles, and about a distance and a half from home
they closed with the mare, who lived with them to the distance
and then died away. Here Charles went up to Lanereost, and
headed him, but looked so unlike a winner that a Noble Earl
laid 100 to 10 against him. Lanercost reached his head at the
Stand, and a slashing race ensued, the young one, contrary to
the expectation of all beholders, winning by a head in the last
stride. The snare was beaten four or five lengths, and Com-
pensation never had a chance of reaching the front.
(From a letter posted in the betting-room this morning, dated
Stpt. 10, and signed " Thos. Ferguson," it would appear that
Harkaway was entered for this race and the Queen's Plate
without his knowledge. The party who made the entry signs
himself " James Farrall, Royal Hotel, Dale-street, Liverpool."
His invention was evidently to make bets against him, p.p. The
Friar was entered in the same way.)
