Chief Justice, 16 to 1 agst Hungerford. These were
the only horses backed for money at the post-20 to 1
agst any other. Mr. Dawson declared to win with
Chief Justice.

After one disappointment, the lot got well off, and on
coming round the turn Veteran was seen in possession
of the lead, Ptolemy, Chief Justice, John Bull, Pancake,
Bracken, Lamprocles, Mr. Sykes, and Swiftsure, clus-
tering up—the favourite and Hungerford lying off.
Passing the stand John Bull rushd to the front,
Ptolemy taking second place, with Veteran and Pancake
third and fourth ; but they had scarcely entered the
further side of the course, when Ptolemy took up the
running, Mr, Sykes, Pancake, and Bracken being the
next three, with John Bull, Jacqueline, and Swiftsure

well laid up, At the mile post Swiftsure went ahead,
and maintained his position until they neared the bend
into the straight, when Jacqueline, John Bull, and
Bracken joined issue—Jacqueline quickly obtaining the
lead. At this point Red Lion fell, and in the next
moment Veteran, Mr. Sykes, and Ptolemy were down
—one or two of them coming into collision with Red
Lion. Cartwright was severely contused and cut, and
Preece and Bates were much shaken and bruised; Oliver
was unhurt. Meanwhile, Jacqueline maintained the
lead with an effect which showed her chance to be most
hopeful. Within the distance Defiance obtained third
place, and when near the corner of the Stand enclosure
he reached Bracken's girths, a vigorous effort was made,
but Jacqueline won cleverly by three-quarters of a lengt'd,
and Defiance lost the second money by a neck. Sriift-
sure, Lamprocles, John Bull, H.ungerford, and Chief
Justice, finished nearly in the order named.
