Within a few minutes of the time set down the numbers
of the nine runners were exhibited on the telegraph,the last
to reach the starter being Blithfield, who, as usual, exhi-
bited some temper, and was led down with a leading rein,
from which he was no sooner released than he broke away,
and ran some distance before French and the head lad
could persuade him to join his horses. At the second
attempt Mr. Marshall effected a capital start, in which Bal-
ham, next the rails on the far side, obtained a slight ad.
vantage, with the others lying in a cluster at his heels,with
the exception of Laertes, who refused to move, and was
left some distance in their rear. Passing the stand Nebula
held a clear lead of Balham, whose immediate followers
were the favourite, Golden Pledge,and Fairwater, succeeded
by Blithfield, Somersault, and Laertes, but on rounding the
stable turn the leader ran out, which left Mr. Morris's horse
with a clear lead, closely attended by Golden Pledge, Fair-
water, and Blithfield, at whose girths came Somersault.
Catch-'em-Alive, being unable to act in the dirt, at the
same time dropped into the rear, in company with Sea King
and Laertes. At the mile-post the 'waling horses got upon
closer terms, and ran in company to the canal-bridge turn,
where Balham once more assumed the command, and came
along the bottom ground with a clear lead. The favourite
was seen to get nearer at every stride as they approached
the turn into the straight, and as they neared the distance
Balharn gave evidence of defeat; Fairwater at the same
time took a slight lead of Golden Pledge, and the pair in a
few strides further were joined by Blithfield. Between
these three a slashing race ensued. At the stand Blithfield
obtained a slight advantage, which he retained to. the end,
and won. by a short head, Golden Pledge defeating Fair-
water by a like distance for second place; Somersault
finished fourth, four lengths in the rear, with Sea King at
his girths, Balham, whom they passed at the Stand, being
next, with the favourite close up; the others were beaten
off a long way.

[ADVERTISEMENT.I—HoIIoway's Ointment and Pills* --
Bad breasts, ulcers, abscesses, wounds, and sores of all
kinds may be thoroughly healed by the application of this
Ointment to the parts affected, after they have been duly
fomented with warm water. The discharge should not be
checked at once, but rather encouraged, for such sudden
check must of course be always dangerous. Nature is the
noblest of physicians and must not be opposed, but
seconded. All sores are, for a time, the safety valves of
the constitution, and should not be closed or healed until
they assume a healthier character. Under the action of
