T. M.M. (11 subs.)
Lord E. Russell's Sting (J. Marson) ‘l,
Mr. W. Scott's Sir Tatton Sykes W. Scott) •
The betting on Thursday night closed at 2 to 1 on
Sting, and in the ring on the Heath this afternoon 111
friends became so sanguine that 4 and 5 to 1 was law
on him, an increase of confidence fully boron
out by the manner in which the race can°
off. Sir Tatton Sykes went away with '
strong lead, made all the running at a great pace 11
the gap, and, although it afterwards slackened, wen
sailing along at least three lengths ahead until near Inv
cords ; he then declined altogether, went out to the lefty
and Sting, gallopping on, passed the post eight lengthil
before him; time, 4 min. 10 secs. The suddenness wit:
which Sir Tatton Sykes gave up the race surprised Innnj
gna
of the spectators, and some strong remarks were ri
on the rider ; we believe, however, the truth to be °il
the horse was not half prepared, and that he stopr'
simply because he was run to a stand still.
This race brought one of the dullest Craven Meetings
on record to a close.
CHESTER Cur.—The only bets laid this mornid
were 1,000 to 50 agst the Lamb, who was again in fore*
and 1,000 to 60 agst Mendicant.
