Gemma rushed to the front as soon as the flag fell, but
was soon passed by 011erton and Terror, who, with Hecate
and Guardsman being well up, went on with the running,
Gemma and Donnybrook bringing up the roar. No change
occurred, with the exception of Mongrel passing Terror,
and on approaching the distance, where Fordham brought
up Guardsman, and the three ran home together, Mongrel
tiring in the last 100 yards, and Guardsman winning
cleverly by a length ; half that distance separated Mongrel
and Terror; 011erton was a bad fourth, Hecate fifth,

locks, 7 to 1 agst Jano Shore, 10 to 1 each agst Clairvoy-
ants and Hawkshaw.

After a tedious delay, chiefly caused by Gloriette de-
clining to come to the front, they got away to a bad start,
Goldylocks and Jane Shore immediately taking up the
running, with Ethel third, the rest forming a very strag-
gling lot, whipped in by
Glorietto and Forester. The
loaders were never headed, a good race ensuing be-
-
tween Goldylocks and Jane Shore, the former of whom
won by a neck ; Clairvoyante finished half a length be-
hind Jano Shore, and Ilawkshaw was three lengths in

Bois, 8 to 1 agst Harriet, 10 to 1 agst Grand Falconer, 12 to
1 each agst Valentine and Frileuse.
There was again a great delay at the post and several
breaks away, the flag being at length lowered to a rather
straggling start, in which Chapel Royal was left at the
post. Ozone rushed to the front, and, with Mr. Hodg-
man's filly in attendance, made all the running, nothing
else being near them but Fleur de Bois. At the distance
Valentine seemed to have the best of it, but was passed
opposite the stand by Ozone, who won an exciting race by
a head; Fleur do Bois was a bad third, the Hope filly was
fourth, Kinghorn fifth, Novice and Harriet sixth and
seventh.

the hill, but fell about a mile and a half from home, and
left Cockatoo in possession of it, who, with Pigeon and
Rook the Gardener close up, came over the two next fields,

Election Intelligence.

BERKSHIRE.

An influential meeting of the Liberal electors of
this county was held yesterday afternoon at the
George Hotel, Reading, for the purpose of taking
measures to secure to the Liberal party the con-
tinuance of that share in the representation of the
county which it has enjoyed since 1859. The Right
Hon. E. P. Bouverie, M.P., occupied the chair, and
read a letter from his uncle, the Hon. P. P. Bouverie,
M.P., announcing his intention of resigning his seat
at the close of the present session, and coupling the
announcement with the offer of his cordial assist-
ance in promoting the election of another Liberal
candidate.

The Hon. George Craven, second son of Lord
Craven, was proposed and introduced to the meet-
ing as the Liberal candidate in Mr. Bouverie's place,
and has agreed to contest the county, in conjunc-
tion with Mr. Walter, against Mr. Benyou and Col.
Lindsay, the Tory candidates.
