The weather was magnificent for the Cup day, but rain

Morna and Midsummer. Trocadero made play for about
200 yards, and was then passed by the favourite, to whom
succeeded the Frenchman, who took up the running again
at the stand, and was followed by Sabinus, the last of all
being Morna. Hester laid third, and Muster fourth, to
Trocadero and Sabinus as they rounded the top turn, and
no change of moment occurred till they had entered the
Swinley bottom, when Muster went to the fore, Trocadero,
Sabinus, and Hester following in the order named.
Entering the old course Trocadero resumed the command
at the brick-kilns, where Hester and Morna were in diffi-
culties; Sabinus took second place, the latter in the straight
gradually closing upon the old horse, whom he headed at
the distance, going on from thence and winning in a canter
by four lengths, twelve lengths from the second finished
Muster. The other three, headed by Midsummer, were
beaten a long way. _ _ _
