Lord E. Rusiell's Stinc (J. Marson) $
Mr. W. Scott's Sir Tatton Sykes W. Scott) 00
The betting on Thursday night closed at 2 to 100
Sting, and in the ring on the Heath this afternoono
friends became so sanguine that 4 and 5 to 1 was
00
on him, an increase of confidence fully bloo
out by the mariner in which the race c •
off. Sir Tatton Sykes went away with to
strong lead, made all the running at a great Pnc..,e,01
the gap, and, although it afterwards slackened, "tier
sailing along at least three lengths ahead until near ft
cords ; he then declined altogether, went out to the isbi
and Sting, gallopping on, passed the post eight lengo
before him; time, 4 min. 10 secs. The suddenness °of
which Sir 'Fatten Sykes gave up the race surprised e3OlO
of the spectators, and some strong remarks were mast the rider ; we believe, however, the truth to be 'net
the horse was not halt prepared, and that he &Tr
simply because he was run to a stand still.
This race brought one of the dullest Craven bfeetoe
on record to a close.
