and 2.5 to 1 each agat Bathilde,' Magnum Bonum, and Cape

The tedious delay that took place in getting the four ani-
mals away for the Free Handicap made such inroads upon
the time set down for intervening races that, had Mr.
Manning not used the great despatch in weighing out the 18
runners, some considerable time would have been wasted.
As it was, the horses reached the starter at the appointed
time, who speedily got them in order, and despatched them
on their journey. After running a few strides, Attaman, on
the left, was seen with a clear lead, but was shortly passed
by Carisbrook, who with Watchman at his girths came on
with the running, Attaman lying third, with Colleen Rhue,
Bathilde, Brother to Springbok, and Battery in close at-
tendance, the next lot, on the lower ground, comprising
Man. at-Arms, the favourite, Bedouin, Magnum Bonum,
and Gabrielle d'Estrees, the ruck being brought up by
Cape Flyaway, Fairwater, and Paste, who was whipped
in by Brown Duchess and Equinox. With little or no
alteration they ran thus to the new ground, where
Brother to Springbok rushed past his horses and assumed
the como_ and coming up the hill, but before reaching the
site of Old Duke's Stand his colours disappeared from the
front and the lead was loft with Attaman, who, in company
with Watchman, Carisbrook, Bathilde, Man-at-Arms,

where they were joined by Fairwater, who came up on the
