Betting-2 to 1 each agst Fervacques and Lady Vane
5 to 1 agst Vixen colt, 10 to 1 agst War, 20 to 1 bar four:
A good start was effected, and Deceit, with the object of
serving Laiy Vane, made play at a good pace, with a clear
lead of Hawkswell, Fair Wind, and Fervacques, next
to whom were Vixen colt and Moldavia, with War in
their rear. They ran thus for three-quarters of a mile,
when Fair Wind took second place, and the remainder
took closer order, with the exception of War. At the mile
post Deceit dropped away, and Fair Wind carried on the
running, followed by Lady Vane, Vixen colt, and For-
vacques to the Morpeth turn, where the two first were in
difficulties. Fervacques therefore was now left in front,.
and though Moldavia drew up, he never caught the French-
man, who won easily by a length; the same distance sepa-
rated second and third, and llawkswell was a bad fourth.
The judge placed the lot.
