At the third attempt they left the post, widely spread
across the course, the colours scarcely discernible thrsugh
the heavy storm that raged. As nearly as we could make
out, after they had run to the Ditch Gap, New York took a
clear lead on:the extreme right, followed by Washington,
Sheridan, and Attraction; then came, in the centre, Echo,
Lady Bohun, Guerilla, and Rouge Crosse, who headed the
next lot, the rear being brought up by The Beadle, Royston,
and Prince Arthur. They ran thus into the cords, where
the last named gradually chew forward ; half way in the
cords he headed Washington, and joined Sheridan, the pair
finishing a fine race home. Sheridan, who was never fairly
reached, won by a length and a half; a head only separated
the second and third; Wild Thyme was fourth, close up,
Echo filth, and the others were pulling up as they ran past
the post, the last two being The Beadle and Aunt Jndy.

Farnhurst and Merry Wife, the top-weight following next.
In the dip Suspicion dropped back, and Farnhurst and
Merry Wife came on in attendance upon the Wandering
Minstrel to half-way in the cords, when they were joined
by Union Jack. In a few strides further the four closed,
and raced for the lead, which Union Jack obtained a short
dhtance from the chair, and won very cleverly by a couple
of lengths. Wandering Minstrel defeated Diviner by a
head for second place, and there was a like distance between
the third and fourth; Farnhurst was fifth, and Suspicion
next; Rizzi() and Esperance were beaten off.
