THE RACE.
The misbehaviour of several light-weight jockeys at the
post caused the start to be delayed far beyond the appointed
time. These lads were insensible to advice or censure, and•
their unfair conduct will doubtless be brought under the
notice of the Jockey Club, and some stringent measures will
be adopted to prevent a repetition of the offence. The boys
only recognise "orders" from their masters, and in their
endeavour to carry them out—whether they be to get off in
front or stay behind—the starter and his authority arc set
at defiance. Their insubordination, too, places the elder and
well-conducted jockeys at a great disadvantage; for they,
in their desire to obey and assist the starter, risk being left
at the post altogether. Just as the horses had mustered at
the post, but before the starter had assumed his staff, Bel-
lona broke away, and Lifeboat "hunted" her. They ran
over the entire course, and their jockeys were unable to
stop them until they had gone right through the town,
greatly to the consternation of the shopkeepers and market
folk, whose stalls line the High-street. Nearly 20 minutes
elapsed before Bellona and Lifeboat were brought back, and
even when they reached the post several other animals
were, as a bystander remarked, " seized with the fidgets."
The Physalis colt was particularly fractious, and kicked
and plunged furiously ; Goelette, Fearful, English Rose,
F.M. the Duke of Duty, Glewinger, Satinstone, and Eury-
dice were amongst the most prominent in the lot which
broke away and caused trouble to the starter. At about
three-quarters of an hour after the appointed time (1.15)
the flag dropped, perhaps to as fair a start as was ever wit-
nessed for a large race. Bellona, who was led to the post,
was the last off, the man not "loosing" her head in time,
but in a few strides she was right up in front.
It was difficult to determine the relative positions of the
leading horses; the front rank comprised Mr. Sykes,
Malacca, Underhand, The Brewer, Leontes, Igno-
ramus, Physalis colt, Lifeboat, Farmer's Son, and Satin-
stone. When, however, the horses got fairly into their
stride, Beacon and Tricolor also showed in good positions,
and as the Duke's Stand was approached the colours
of Bellona and Rocket were discerned in the van, Malacca,
the Physalis colt, Leontes, and Lifeboat gradually drop-
ping into the rear. Zouave then went up to the leading
horses, and running with him in close attendance were
Beacon, Eurydice, Underhand, Satinstone, Rocket, Geo-
lette, and Ignoramus, the last-mentioned, whose colours
were always prominent, being on the whip hand next the
rails. Midway between the Duke's Stand and the winning
chair, four animals only; Zouave, Beacon, Eurydice, and
Underhand, were left to " fight it out." About a hundred
yards from home Eurydice assumed the lead, and, holding
it to the end, won, without any perceptible effort, by a
length, Beacon beating Underhand by two lengths for
second place, and Zouave, who suddenly compounded. in
the cords, being half a length behind the third. Clear of
them in a cluster came Prioress, Ancient Briton, Satin-
stone, and Mr. Sykes. In the extreme rear were Bellona,
Malacca, Rosa Bonheur, and the Farmer's Son. Farmer's
Son broke down at the Duke's Stand.
