NESDAY.
Again a shy list, butWE containing a race of great in-
terest in the Column, for which two list's that have made
some figure in the Derby betting, and have been laid
against to an amount that must have wofully
shaken the confidence of their friends, made their
appearance. On Tuesday night it was not at all
clear that Epirote would show, and in consequence
Red Hart was backed at a fraction less than
evens ; 25 to 1 was also taken freely about him for the
Derby, for which event Epirote receded to 17 to 1 ; he
suffered a further decline this morning, notwithstanding
the arrival of Mr. Bowes removed all doubt about his
starting, as much as 25 to I, in hundreds, having been
taken against him
From the description of the race it will be gathered
that Red Hart cut up badly, and that Epirote achieved
an easy victory, a moderate animal of Col. Peel's ob-
taining the second place. 1,000 to 10 was offered against
Red Hart after race, and 1,000 even laid between The
Liberator and Epirote.
A dead heat prolonged a day's sport that, apart from
the Column, excited little interest. The weather was
favourable and the attendance select.

beating Red Hart as far. Varonetz nowhere. Time 1
