to the front, and made play at a good pace, Mischief run-
ning at his heels, Fullsail lying well up about the middle
of the ruck. Young Tollerton and Mischief raced for the
lead to the half-mile post, when the former gave
way, and Mischief, attended by Extra Number, Fullsail,

at the post, a wretched start was effected, Brown Bread
and Irritation losing a long distance. Macbeth got
away in front, and showed the way for a few strides,
when Huntsman's Daughter took the command, Macbeth
running second, Ameer third, Mr. Osborne's pair heading
the remaining horses, who ran in wide order, with Irrita-
tion, who bolted at the town turn, a long way in the rear.
Along the back stretch Macbeth shot to the fore, and made
play at a good pace, Ameer, King Charming, Huntsman's
Daughter, Gaily, and Lady of Coverdale going next, the
whippers-in being Alice, Alice Fauconberg, and Brown
Bread. Little change took place until reaching the wood
side, where Huntsman's Daughter and King Charming re-
tired from the front rank, and Gaily and Lady of Cover-
dale improved their positions. Entering the straight Mac-
beth still held the lead, and although Gaily, Ameer, and
Lady of Coverdale made vigorous efforts all the way up to
reach Macbeth, they failed, and Mr. Barber's horse won
cleverly by two lengths ; neck between second and third ;
half a length third and fourth. Alice Fauconberg was
fifth, and the last lot were Alice, King Charming, and
Brown Bread.
