fence, but on Havelock reaching it he jumped shc rt, and
fell on landing into the ditch, and in doing so brought As-
trolabe and Little Frank to grief. The latter, having
broken down badly, proceeded no further. Crossing the
lane by the canal-bridge for the course Globule was still
seen in advance, and as they came across the common the
pace mended considerably, the made fence being reached
simultaneously by Globule, in the centre, Sea King, Cor-
tolvin, Tennyson, and Shangarry, who cleared it nearly
abreast, but on landing G. Holman sent his pony along
and cleared the water jump in front of the Stand, half a
length in advance of Mr. Brayley's horse on the left ; the
two being followed by King Arthur, Revolver, and Ge-
nierre nearly abreast on their right. To these succeeded
Tennyson and Shangarry, side by side ; then came Shake-
speare, Cortolvin, Thomastown, and Miller, in the order
we have given them; and a long way in their rear came
Marengo, Astrolabe, and Banker, the latter, who was added
to the list of disabled, being pulled up at the turn beyond.
On again entering the enclosures Cortolvin gradually
drew up to the leaders, and when fairly over "Beechers
Brook" he headed Globule and came on with a clear lead,
the Cheltenham pony still holding second honours, with
King Arthur, Sea King, I'm, Shangarry, Lightheart, Re-
volver, Shakepeare, and Tennyson close in their wake, the
others fram the effect of the pace now beginning to
exhibit a beaten appearance. On rounding the ex-
treme turning flag for Valentine's-brook Cortolvin was
again pulled back, and, in consequence Globule was
again left in front, having Sea King in atten-
dance, but at the fence beyond he gave way, and his
place was taken by FAn, closely followed by
Cortolvin, Shangarry, Lightheart, Tennyson, -and Shake-
speare, along the canal side to the fence by the canal bridge,
which Globule cleared slightly in advance of Fun, close in
whose track came Cortolvin, Shangarry, Lightheart, and
Revolver; to whom the race was now confined. As they
came round_the turn into the straight Fan headed Globule,
and came on with the running, the hopes of her backers
reaching the pitch of excitement as she reached the flight
of hurdles at the distance, which she cleared cleverly, but
was no sooner landed than she was collared by Cortolvin,
who, full of running, came sailing away, and won with the
most consummate ease by five lengths, Fan finishing four
lengths in advance of Shangarry, who headed Globule at
the stand, and landed the place money by a neck. Light-
heart finished fifth, a long way in their rear, a similar dis-
tance separating the latter from Revolver. Shakespeare
trotted in seventh, and Tennyson next; then came Silver
Star and King Arthur. Nothing else passed the post.
Thomastown having broken down, Murphy dismounted,
and walked him back to the enclosure.
