After the first half-mile had been traversed Yellow
Dwarf ran past his horses, and came on with the running,
followed Alexandra, Cannon Ball, and Grey
Tommy, byth Coeouthnetresss
h,
eadedbysugarpium,
Forester, and
Stays lying up to the water jump, which Alexandra cleared
slightly in advance of Yellow Dwarf, Countess, Nuncio,
and Forester, and came past the stand with a clear lead of
two or three lengths, the lot clearing the hurdles and the
fence beyond ; but on reaching the garden enclosures some
b:undering occurred strong the leaders, which for a short
time put them at check, but the obstruction was imme-
diately taken by Alexandra, Countess, Yellow Dwarf,
Forester, and Cannon Ball in the order we have
given them ; then came Grey Tommy in com-
pany with Nuncio, Fidget, and Relic, Sugarplum
and Stays bringing up the rear ; the two latter,
however, were put out of the race by refusing what Stays
fell twice at yesterday, and upon being put at it again she
repeated her falling propensities. As they proceeded up
the barrack field the pace had evidently begun to exhibit
all came which
Mr. Lambert's mare
round the flag by the
its effect, as the tailing commenced as they approached the
cwlaeaterredseiwnerspilnendthide
slt;oltet,o
Osborne road some four lengths in advance of Yellow
Dwarf, who was about the same distance in front of Coun-
tess, her immediate followers being Forester and Cannon
Ball, the lot running along the Park aide in Indian the to
the fence out of the lane, at which Alexandra blundered
and fell heavily on landing, throwing Mr. Barton to the
ground with great force. He lay for some time insensible,
and was immediately removed for medical attendance.

This mishap left Yellow Dwarf with a clear lead, which he
held to the brook in the rear of the stand, where he was
joined by Countess, the two rounding the last flag for home
close together, and came so to the water jump, which the
mare cleared slightly in front and won cleverly by three
lengths, a like distance between the second and third.
Cannon Ball was fourth. Nothing else came past the
post.

The winner wax purchased by Col. Paulett Somerset for
68 guineas.

Fair Play also ran.
Betting-6 to 4 agst Play Boy, and 2to 1 each agst Re-
voke and Fair Play.
Lady Bird was the first off, and made the running at a
steely pace to the second fence, which she refused, and
upon being put at it again she again refused, and in conse-
quence was left hopelessly in the rear ; Revoke going on
with a clear lead, followed by Play Boy and Fair Play to
the water course in the barrack fi-ld, at which Fair Play
fell heavily and rollt.d over his rider, who was consider-
ably shaken and injured. This accident having reduced
the race to a match enabled Revoke to hold his own to
the end and win by twenty lengths. The winner was
not sold.

Gladiator and Sulina also ran.

Betting-6 to 4 apt Gladiator, 2to 1 agst Xanthus, and
3 to 1 agst Sulina.
Kitty Skittles made play, waited upon by Xanthus, to the
fence in the rear of the stand, which the pair refused, and
let up the other two, who also declined 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 Xanthus over, closely
followed by Kitty Skittles, the pair taking the water jump
in excellent style ; then came Gladiator and Suline, 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. Xanthus 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 end and won by a field.

Betting-5 to 4on Fairplay.
The favourite made the running, waited upon by Kitty
Skit,les and Maggie to the garden enclosure, where the
latter got pounded and was not persevered v‘ ith, 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.
