quence was left hopelessly in the rear ; Revoke going on
with a clear_ lead, followed by Play Boy and Fair Play to

Kitty Skittles made play, waited upon by Yanthus, to the
fence in the rear of the stand, which the pair refused, and
let up the other two, who also deolined to face it, and some
time was cut to waste before either could be induced to do
so; at last Land was enabled to drive X.anthus over, closely
followed by Kitty Skittles, the pair taking the water jump
in excellent style ; then came Gladiator and Sane, the
latter, jumping short, came into the middle, giving her
rider a cold bath. At the fence into the enclosure Xanthus
refused, and again at the following fence, which example
was followed by Kitty Skittles, who was left a long way in
the rear in consequence. These refusals allowed Gladiator
to make up his lost ground, and taking his fences more
kindly he proceeded up the hill with a long lead, which he
held to the watercourse, where he fell and badly staked
himself, and was not after persevered with. Xanthns and
Kitty having been induced to overcome their scruples came
on with the running, the former with a long lead, which he
held to the and and won by a field.

Betting-5 to 4on Fairplay.
The favourite made the running, waited upon by Kitty
Skittles and Maggie to the garden enclosure, where the
latter got pounded and was not persevered with, leaving the
leaders to finish the race. Proceeding up the hill to the
turning fag, Fairplay ran rather wide on rounding, which
let up the mare, who went with a strong lead over the
succeeding fences to the fence behind the stand, where she
appeared to be pumped out and tiring at every stride, and
was passed in jumping the brook by Fair Play, who won.
very cleverly by a length and a half.
The winner was not sold.
