Betting-11 to Bon Xanthus, 7to 4 eget Mutineer, sto
1 agst Annie Laurie.
Mutineer and Xanthus went away together, and after
" dwelling" at the first fence Mutineer pursued his former
tactics, and running into the succeeding fence came on to
his head, which caused Boyce to pull him up. Xanthus
having also refused, left Annie Laurie with a lead of a
dozen lengths, which she maintained until about a quarter
of a mile from home, where she came to grief. Xanthus,
who had apparently been waiting on the mare, cleverly
cleared the suceeding obstacles, and came in alone. Annie
Laurie was remounted, and cantered in second.
The Hunt Cup of 50 sovs, added to a sweepstakes of 5 sovs
each. Penalties and allowances. Three miles. 15 subs.

Betting-5 to 2 agst The Tippler, sto 1 agst Joe Maley,
11 to 2 agst Mytton, 6 to 1 each agst Sunflower and Ireley.
The lot were not delivered into the starter's hands until
20 minutes past the appointed time, three o'clock, but they
were quickly despatched. Sunflower took a slight lead of
Warwickshire Crabb, at whose girths were The 't ippler, Joe
Maley, and Worcester, the whippers in being Mytton and
C'tnteen. At the natural hedge out of the ploughed land,
not a quarter of a mile from the start, Canteen re fused, and
was stopped; and prior to gaining the turning flag Wor-
cester was placed hors de combat from a fall, and approach-
ing the stand Luff was withdrawn, having lost considerable
ground from coming to grief. Sunflower maintained the
front position until nearing the enclosure the first time,
where she was displaced by The Tippler, Sunflower going
in second, Joe Maley Third, Tommy fourth, Ireley fifth,
and Mytton sixth. At an interval of several minutes fol-
lowed Warwickshire Crabb, and a long distance in the rear
came Bird of Prey. Joe Maley, on proceeding up "the
fallow" on the opposite of the course increased the pace,
and with Mytton and Ireley in attendance quickly dis-
placed Sunflower and The Tippler. Old Joe was never
afterwards caught, and clearing all the succeeding obstacles
without any blundering, won by ten lengths. Mytton, who
came with a rush at the finish, was, however, beaten by
Ireley by a length. The Tippler, 60 yards from the winner,
was pulled up opposite the Stand fourth, and behind him
came Sunflower, Bird of Prey, and Tommy, none of the lot
passing the judge's box.

added ; winners extra. About two miles and a half.

agst Wilful, 5 to 1 agst Chastisement.
Orkousta made play to the second fence, where, on re..
fusing, she was pulled up,and Deceiver took up the running
with Wilful and Chastisement in close attendance. After
Willul and Deceiver had alternately held the lead, Mr.
Land's horse cleared the last hurdle slightly in advance of
Wilful, who, however, persevered to the end, and finished
an exciting struggle only half a length in the rear of De-
ceiver ; Chastisement a bad third. The winner was bought
in for 58 guineas.
The Hunters' Stakes of 3 soya each, with 25 added, for 4-
yr-olds and upwards, gentlemen riders, winning jockeys

7 to 1 agst Antler, 8 to 1 agar Fanny Brown,
Orphan jumped away first, but, dwelling at the first
fence, allowed Fanny Brown to take a long lead, and after
running out, Jerry was brought to the front in the first
half mile, and with the exception of being the first time
past the Stand, his lead was never interrupted, and he won
in a canter by six lengths ; a similar distance separated
second and third, and there were four lengths between third
and fourth.
