Upwards of a quarter of an hour was consumed at the
post through the restiveness of General Hess, who con-
tinually refused to face the starter. At last Mr. M‘George,
seeing a favourable opportunity,lowered his flag to one of the
best starts of the meeting, the lot getting away as nearly in
a line as possible. On settling in their places as they
breasted the hill they somewhat spread. Man-at-Arms,
despite his heavy impost, appearing in command on the
extreme right, having in his wake The Monk, Croagh Pa-
trick, General Hess, Eleanor, Dunkeld, Aurelian, and
Muezzin ; then followed in the centre of the course Balham,
Gamecock, Prince Plausible, Donnybrook, and The Princi-
pal, Benjamin, Fitz-Eva, and Bertha taking a line to them-
selves on the lower ground. With little or no variation

they retained these positions until they reached the Bushes,
where they split. The Monk at the same time getting upon
closer terms with Lord Uxbridge's colt, followed by Elea-
nor, and in a few strides further by Muezzin, the four
drawing away from the ruck as they descended into the
Abingdon Mile Bottom, entering which Jemmy Grirnshaw
headed Man-at-Arms, who compounded to the weight, and
was beaten after a game struggle by half a length; Eleanor
was third, three lengths in their rear; Muezzin was a good
fourth, and close up with him came Ballwin fifth, Benja-
min sixth, Bertha seventh, Fitz-Eva eighth, with Dun-
keld and Croagh Patrick next, the ruck being brought up
by General Hess, Waterwitch,National Guard , and Lucretia.
Jackal, shortly after starting, split his pastern so badly that
he wee at once destroyed.

After several failures they left the post in close cem-

by Suspicion, who was followed by the favourite, Anning-
ton, Figaro, and Sister to Knave of Trumps; half-way
down the hill Concordia assumed the lead, and, with Lord
Westmoreland's colt on his whip hand and Figaro next
the rails, finished a fine race home, the favourite win-
ning in the last stride by a head; three-quarters of a
length separated the second and third; Suspicion was a
bad fourth, Oakapplo fifth, the Drosera colt sixth, and
Alca next.
