On taking their places at the post several of the light
weights indulged themselves with an extemporaneous can-
ter, which delayed the start. Upon the flag being lowered
at 330 the lot left the post in company, but scarcely had
they run a dozen strides when Elland with Sidewind were
seen in advance, but, Sopp taking a pull at the former, in
making for the far side he was headed by Sidewind. The
latter entered the back stretch slightly in advance of Helen
who came up on the whip-hand, the favourite lying third,, in company of Buckfoot and Holstein ;to these succeeded
Moldavia, Bendigo, Accident,Windham, Joco, John Davis,
and Farce in a body, the extreme rear being brought up by
Master Richard, Nu, Jupiter, and Blithfield. At the mile
post Helen took a clear lead, and carriedim the running to
half-way in the bottom, when she suddenly dropped back,
leai:ng Lord Westmoreland's filly once more in advance,
the favourite lying wide on her light, followed by Bendigo,
Joco, Holstein, Farce, and Windham. On fairly entering
the straight the latter ran into the third position, and
waited upon the two leaders to the distance, where Side-
wind was beaten, leaving Elland in possession of the lead;
this he retained to half-way, when Challoner brought up
his horse, and when about making his effort Sopp used his
whip, which sent Elland against Capt. Gray's horse, and, in
so doing, completely destroyed his chance. Mr. Jackson's
colt won very easily by a couple of lengths ; twice that dis-
tance separated the second and third, Joco finishing fourth,
a length in their rear ; Master Richard was fifth, Bendigo
sixth, Holstein and Farce next ; the others, who were pull-
ing up, being whipped-in by Helen, Blithfield, Moldavia,
and Minnette, who did not pass the post. Challoner, on re-
turning to scale, complained of a foul on the part of the

rider of Elland, which was subsequently investigated by
Lord Sefton and Lord Poulett, who gave their award in

favour of the winner.

OUR LADY NOVELISTS. Jane Austen never
departed from her easy, gossipping, lifelike
pictures of the upper middle class, abounding in subtle
humour, but tame as to sentiment and passion. Miss
Bronte was always the same in her forcible descriptions of
the gloomy flats of the inner life, whether transacted in a
Yorkshire village or in a Brussels boarding-school. Mrs.
Gaskell may be recognised without difficulty in the home-
like
truthfulness and quiet fun—most Jane Austen-like--
which mark her stories, whether of genteel or_ manufac-
facturing life, whether or not partaking of the favourite
sensational element of the day. " George Elliot,"
indeed, startled the world by the production of the
"Romola"—a tale as dissimilar as possible, both in cha-
racter and treatment, to the fictions of lower-class life
with which her name had before been connected. But,
clever as " Romola" was, it was a tour de force, and not in-
spiration. Mrs. Oliphant, as it appears to us, possesses a
really wider range of power in this department of literature
than either of the authoresses mentioned. In her earlier
fiction, "Mrs. Margaret Maitland" for instance, she
seemed to echo the idyllic strain of Scottish life,
familiar to us thirty years ago in the tales of Professor
and
Wilson ; pleasing, but characterised by a certain
milk-and-water sentimentality. In the admirable series
of " Carlingford," she manifested an unexpected force
discrimination; a power of understanding and describing
character under various aspects, of analysing complex
mo-
tives, and of portraying, with really exquisite humour, the
peculiarities of individuals and classes. Her t
thep plots were
la
improbable sometimes and ill amalgamated ;b
of character was masterly, the pathetic elements
notsp tooy
deep for irony, and the presiding divinity,
general tenons of the
ADReader.
