mile bottom gave way to King Charming, the pair being
followed by Camball, Crisis, Ackworth, and Deerfoot to
the cords ; Peeress and the Baron's colt then gave way,

joined by Ackworth, and an interesting race ensued, Crisis,
who always appeared to have the best of it, winning at last
by a neck; King Charming finished second, three lengths
