Mr. Edwards weighed for What-is-it, but did not get to
the post in time to start. Coroner, Quicksilver, and First
Attempt were first off, and passing the enclosure for the
second time, Clapham and Bandit joined the three leaders,
Titherdy o'er the Dingle and Lottery being a long way in
the rear ; Maydew had previously come to griec, and
Chance was pulled up at the enclosure. Half a mile from
home, Quicksilver took a commanding lead, and won by
half a dozen lengths ; Bandit defeated Clapham by two
lengths. Nothing else passed the post.
The rider of Maydew objected to the start, on the ground
that the official starter had not acted, and Mr. Grant, the
rider of Bandit, objected to the winner, not having been
the bona fide property of a volunteer for the time required
by the conditions. The objections were, however, over-
ruled. The winner was not sold.
