agst Vixen, Monitress, and Mandrake, and 100 to 7 agst
Miss Havelock.
This race led to one of the most extraordinary incidents

in the history of the turf. The 14 competitors were weighed
out in duo time, and wore despatched from the starter
about five minutes before the appointed hour, but after the
lot had gone about 200 yards Endsloigh,assumed a clear
lead of his horses, who wore separated at somewhat wide
intervals. When traversing along the hill side through
the furze considerable excitement and consternation was
caused by several of the rearward horses pulling up and
turning back, traversing certain portions of the course
over again. The leaders, however, went on, Mandrake,
Dr. Syntax, and Knight Errant furnishing a good race,
the three passing the post in the order named,
Mandrake apparently winning by a head from Dr.
Syntax. Vixen, the Lizard, Isabella, Endsleigh, and
Monitress, after the first three, passed the post in the
order named. After this lot, and at an interval of fully a
quarter of a mile, came Pearl Driver, Julius, and Rama,
Mr. Brayley's horse being a couple of lengths in advance
of Julius. After Rama, a considerable time elapsing,
came Miss Havelock, the Marquis of Hastings' mare
being followed by the Mail of Mash= filly, some dis-
tance in advance of the Pirate Chief, who trotted past
the post after the judge had quitted the box, the horse
having retraced the greater part of the distance, his
jockey (Killiek) presuming that ho alone bad gone the
right course. Two lots of numbers ware displayed on the
telegraph board, those of Mandrake, Dr. Syntax, and
Knight Errant being put first, and those of Pearl Divot.,
Julius, and Rama next. On returning to the weighing
enclosure a scene of great excitement occurred, and the
weighing-room was crowded to the door. Mr. Thellusson
claimed the race on behalf of his horse Pirate Chief, main-
taibing that his animal alone had gone the right course,
and Mr. Brayley on behalf of Pearl Diver. The stewards
of the meeting, the Marquis of Hastings, Lord Westmor-
land, Lord St. Vincent, and Mr: Payne, were immediately
summoned, and the room having been cleared, the evidence
of the starter,:soveral of the jockeys, and the judge, was
taken, and, after mature consideration, the claim of Mr.
Thellusson, and the fact that the judge had left the box
