in their preliminary canters, in which those most interested
took exception to several of their favourites. The lot
were marshalled down to the starting pest by the veteran
Starling, who delivered them in something like order into
the custody of Mr. M'George. Upwards of an hour was
lost before he could get them together, breaks away appa-
rently being the order of the day. At last the patience of
the spectators, the more sorely tried by several heavy
showers, was rewarded by the welcome cry of "They're
off," and immediately after Julius on the extreme right of
his horses, was observed slightly in advance of Redbourne,
Skysail, and Fitz Ivan, to whom succeeded Vauban,
Marksman, Corporal, Van Anburgh, The Rake, and Her-
mit. The next division had for their leaders Wild Moor,
Dwain Glyndwr, The Rescue, Tyndale, Man of Ross,
Dragon, and The Palmer, the extreme rear being repre-
sented by Mr. Eastwood's pair, Taraban, the Amanda colt,
and d'Estournel. The latter jumped round as the flag fell
nd was left a long way in the rear, which mishap was
further increased by the brute's bolting out of the course.
During this contretemps the leaders held their way through
the furzes, but as they entered the old course Redbourne
dropped away from the front, and his place was then taken
by Skysail, who proceeded along the brow of the hill to
the mile-post, at the girths of the Duke of Newcastle's
colt, the pair being upwards of threelengths in ad-
vance of Vauban, on whose right were seen the colours of
Wild Moor, Tynedale, Marksman, and The Rescue, and on
the inside followed The Palmer, Hermit, and The Rake, the
rear rank even at this early period having taken open
order. Descending the hill for Tattenham-corner Julius
was beaten, and Fordham iadulged the favourite with a
a pull, which for a brief period gave to the race an open
appearance, and let up Marksman on his right, who, with
Van Amburgh, the Palmer, Wild Moor, and The Corporal
with his stable companion Tynedale, showed prominently,
in advance. At the road Vauban was soon clear of his
horses, when his success was loudly proclaimed from the
stands, but immediately after Fordham was seen to be
hard upon his horse, and as they neared the distance he
was joined on the whip hand by Marksman, and on the
lower ground by Van Amburgh, J. Daley at this period
holding his horse in reserve to the enclosure. At this
point Van Amburgh was disposed of, which let up Hermit,
who joined issue with Vauban and Marksman at the
Stand ; here the favourite was completely run out, leaving
Mr. Merry's colt in advance, but Daley, riding with great
determination to the end, was just enabled to get up in the
last stride, and landed one of the most extreme outsiders a
clever winner by a neck. Marksman, who ran a thoroughly
game horse throughout, finished upwards of five lengths
in advance of Vauban. Wild Moor was fourth, Van Am-
burgh fifth, Owain Glendwyr sixth, Tynedale seventh,
The Palmer eighth, and The Corporal next. At the head
of the next division, pulling up, were, headed by the Rake,
Leases, Julius, and Gipsy King, to whom succeeded, at
wide distances, The Rescue, Grand Cross, and Roquefort,
the last three being .Ben Nevis, the Amanda colt,
and,, Distill.. The following is the time, as taken

Substance, on the far side, made play with a slight lead
of Oracle, Spitfire, and Cape Clear, Patti heading the re-
mainder. At the distance the last-named with Hue and
Cry and Diana singled themselves out and ran a fine race
home, Patti winning cleverly by half a length ; the same
between the second and third. Osprey was fourth, Sub-
stance fifth, and Spitfire sixth. The last two were Knight

Miss Elizabeth came away with a slight lead of Wings
of a Dove filly and Paris, the remainder following close
up to the distance where Paris took the lead, and at the
enclosure appeared to be winning easily. A few strides
from home Payne brought up Alberta, and after a fine
race home won very cleverly by a length. A bad third.
Northern Star was fourth, St. Thomas fifth, Miss Elizabeth
sixth, and Merry Monarch seventh. The winner was sold
to Mr. J. Wood for 180 guineas. _

100 to 8 agst any other.
After one false start, in which Gretna ran to the Stand
before being pulled up, the flag fell. The lot ran in a line
for the first 200 yards, when Liddington took up the run-
ning, closely attended by Ammunition, King of Spades,
and Claymore. Columbine, well up, at the head of the
remainder. Within the distance the favourite made an
effort to reach Mr. Merry's horse, but giving way opposite
the Stand the race was left with the three placed, Lidding-
ton winning easily by a length, the same distance between
second and third. King of Spades was fourth, Columbine
fifth, Nike sixth, and Problem seventh. The remainder,
pulling up, came in widely scattered.
