strong pace, closely followed on the whip-hand by Black-

horses, and came on with a clear lead of several lengths,
Vertumna going on second, Blacklock third, with Sacerdos
at his girths next. In this way they ran to half-way in the

with a slight lead, having for her immediate followers Bat-

On settling into their places Diadem was the first to show
in advance, followed by Nelly, Tippler, King William, and
Shropshire in the order we have given them, Harry bring-
ing up the rear, in which order they cleared the flight of
hurdles in front of the stand, but on landing the French-
man obtained the second position, and followed closely
in the wake of Diadem, who increased his lead,
rounding the top turn, the lot running thus to the flight of
the hurdles at the three-quarters of a mile post, which the
lot jumped close together. On reappearing in sight Tippler
was seen slightly in advance of Land's horse and Nelly;
Harry, having quitted his rearward position, was fourth,
Shropshire next, with King William acting as whipper-in.
On reaching the hurdles in front of the stand, Diadem again
resumed his lead, but on rounding the top turn W. White
brought the favourite to the front, who in a few strides was
in possession of a commanding lead, Tippler going on
second, Diadem third, and Nelly next, Harry and King
William bringing up the rear. In this way they ran into
the straight, where Diadem and Nelly having had enough,
were passed by Harry and King William, who ran in the
wake of the leader to the flight of hurdles at the distance,
which Harry cleared in advance of Tippler, but was never
enabled to reach the favourite, who won in a canter by six
lengths, half a length between second and third; a bad
fourth.

but Incognita refused, and ran round and unhorsed her
rider, who declined to take any further part in the race.

joined her, in company with Proceed, the three running

A MAN CUT TO PIECES.—A man's body was
found on the North-Eastern Railway, near Northallerton,
on Tuesday at daybreak, literally cut to pieces. The person
who first beheld the sickening spectacle was a mason pro-
ceeding to his work ; he was only able to perceive by the
dissevered legs that the remains, which were scattered about
in all directions, were those of a human body. He col-
lected them together in a linen sheet, and by the first train
which passed got them conveyed to Northallerton. A watch
found among the clothing hanging to the pieces of flesh had
the came "Smart" engraved ell the back.
