took the lead, with Lugwardine close up, Zillah laying last but
one. At the Castle-pole, Lugwardine and Zillah went up to
Anvil, but Lugwardine came out at the Distance, and won cle-
verly by a fulllength. St. Leonard, by some mistake, did not
go when the word was given.

DETERMINED SUlClDE.—Yesterday forenoon,
some men who were passing through a bye. lane leading
from Old Brentford to Ealing, discovered the body of a
man ranging suspended from a branch of one of the trees.
A ladder was immediately procured and the body cut down,
when it proved to be that of a man named James Jones,
for many years a respectable baker in the town of Old
Brentford, but who latterly had fallen into decayed cir-
cumstances, and who had not been seen by his relatives
and friends since Saturday last. Information of the dis-
covery has been forwarded to the Coroner.
