lowed at a very long interval by Liverpool Biy, Pasha,

The chapter of accidents did not comprise any very
exciting incidents. Harry Lorrequer ran against some
people on nearing Beecher's Brook, at the very outset
of the contest, and on passing the Grand Stand the first
time he was hopelessly in the rear. Sir
.Peter Laurie,
who seemed to break down after crossing the water-
jump opposite the Stand the first time round, was pulled
up and took no further part in the race. Victor Emma
• noel fell et the second fence, got loose, proceeded rider-
less over the remainder of the distance, and came in with
i the leading horses. At the fence facing Beecher's Brook
Emigrant, in the first round, made a " mistake," got his
reins over his head, and wai not righted before the leld-
Mg horses were far in advance. In the second round
Baristead fell at the fence beyond the road,' and dislo-
cated his shoulder so severely that it was feared he would
have' to be destroyed. Stamford was pulled up after
crossing Beecher's Brook the second time. Dan O'Con-
nell, whilst running pretty torward, fell at a fence by the
canal side before entering the race course corning home.
British Yemmin, who was also well up with the leading
horses broke down on entering the race course the last
time. The horses that formed the first division were in
front throughout. Toe Potter, Frank Picard, and Jean
du Quesne also showed prominently in the rare,entii
after re-entering the race course. The pace throughout
was very severe. In c.inclu•don, we are glad to state that
np injury was sustained by any of the jockeys.
