they ran together into the cords. Dreadnought then headed
them, and won cleverly by a length.
Column Stakes.—Janus cut out the work, followed by Ple-
nary and the Tragedy colt, the others lying close up. At the
Bushes-hill the first and second dropped tjff. The velvet colt
went on with the running, attended by Tragedy, Molineux,
Assassin, and the favourite following them. Just before reach-
ing the bottom, Assassin went in front, was never after headed,
and won easy by a length. Angelica was overpaced, but ran a
game horse, and made a capital race for seeond with the Velvet
colt, losing it by a neck only. The Tragedy colt could not have
been more than a neck from him. Molineux was a bad fifth,
Janus sixth, and Plenary last.
Fifty Soya. Stakes.—Diploma made all the running, was
never headed, and won easily by a length. The winner visa
ridden by Wakefield, and not by Nat, as stated in the hurry of
