The curiosity to witness the horses as they quitted the
saddling-stable, prior to proceeding to the starting-post, was
evidenced by the large throng of pedestrians and eques-
trians who congregated in the vicinity of the ditch.
When the 15 competitors had proceeded to the post the
crowd gradually diminished, and the spectators at the cords
were enabled to command a full and uninterrupted view of
them when they formed in line. The start was most satis-
factorily effected, and no sooner had Mr. Hibburd dropped
his flag than the horses were off on equal terms.
Two divisions were soon formed, Traducer making the
running on the whip hand, with King of Diamonds,
Lupulus, Brother to Rainbow, and Nicholas on his left,
followed him in the order named. On the " Ring side" of
the course, were Richmond, Ebony, Tom Bowline, and
Merrimac, nearly level with the lot above mentioned.
Aurora, The Wizard, and The Rap were next, close up.
They ran at a slow pace to the Bushes Hill, where The
Wizard, who had always been going within himself, began
to creep forward, closely attended by his stable companion
The Rap. On reaching the dip, just before entering the
cords, Ashmall let The Wizard out, and the horse galloped
in the winner by three lengths; half a length between the
second and third ; King of Diamonds was an indifferent
fourth; Lupulus fifth; Brother to Rainbow sixth; Watabs,
Ebony, and Merrimac next ; Grenadier and Tom Bowline,
close together, were the last two.
