After half a dozen failures, which consumed 20 minutes,
the nine runners were pretty evenly despatched, and ex-
tending across the course it was difficult to tell who held
the command. On the far side of the course, however,
Virginia, with Corsica in close company, appeared slightly
to hold the lead, whilst next the rails Lady Nichol, attended
closely by Faith, evidently had an advantage of the rest.
At the distance Faith took a slight lead of Lady Nichol,
but the latter, half way up, being allowed her head, ran to
the front opposite the Stand, and won easily by a length ;
two lengths between second and third ; and a similar dis-
tance divided third and fourth. The remainder, all of whom
