Bet tin g— 2 to I agst Marie Louise and Knave of Tramps
coupled, 5 to 2 agst Owen Roe, 4 to 1 agst Endsleigh, G to 1
each agst Lord Raglan and Steamboat, and 10 to 1 agst
Moose. After three breaks-away a good start was effected,
Owen Roe and Liston cutting out the work, followed by
Moose and Steamboat, Foxholes, Endsleigh, Marie Louise,
Lord Raglan, Chanticleer gelding, Empress, and the Knave
of Trumps bringing up the rear. After going about three
furlongs Foxholes ran up to the quarters of Moose, Steam-
boat following the pair, attended by Endsleigh heading
the ruck, Knave of Trumps still bringing up the rear.
After clearing the hurdles Lord Raglan was indulged with
the lead, Foxholes, Owen Roe, and Liston following clear
of the others. Rising the ascent for the turn preceding
the stand, Owen Roe took up the running, improving the
pace, Lord Raglan going on second in advance of Steam-
boat and Marie Louise, Foxholes, Moose, and Empress
being next, having Endsleigh in close attendance, Knave of
Trumps still acting a 8 whipper-in. Before reaching the
next flight of hurdles Endsleigh improved her position, fol-
lowing in the track of the leaders, so that on reaching the
obstacle, the mare hardly being able to perceive it, did not
rise, and befcre Mr. Edwards could call on her for an effort
she breasted the hurdle and came down heavily on her
head, causing an indention almost large enough to admit of
a fist. Mr. Edwards had no opportunity to save himself,
and part of the saddle coming in contact with his fore-
head he was severely injured. Approaching the five-fur-
long post Lo.-d Raglan held a momentary lead, but at the
hurdles he was beaten, relinquishing the command to
Owen Roe, who was joined by Steamboat, Lord Raglan
dropping into the rear of Marie Louise, and being just
clear of Foxholes and Liston ; the Chanticleer gelding
heading the ruck, which was somewhat widely scattered,
tlui last two now being Empress and Knave of Trumps,
the latter having been outpaced all the way. Making the
bend for the straight, Moose ran through his horses, taking
his place by the side of Owen Roe, and Mr. Studd's repre-
sentative being beaten on the ascent, Moose on the stand
side, and Steamboat on the right, were the only horses left
in the race. Steamboat, answering gamely to Adams's
call at the commencement of the stand enclosure, took up
the running and won very easily by a length. Owen Roe,
coming again at the stand, wasonly defeated by a neck for
second place. Marie Louise, who in consequence of strain-
ing her off-hind pastern at the turn, retired from the front
and limped in a bad fourth ; Foxholes was fifth, Tom Coke
sixth, Lord Raglan seventh, and Liston eighth ; Chan-
ticleer gelding and Knave of Trumps next ; Empress being
last of all.

Betting-5 to 2 agst Comberton, 4to 1 agst Vindicator,
100 to 15 egg Standard Bearer, and 8 to 1 agst Wings of
the Wind. Standard Bearer made the running, followed
by Laura, Portfire, Nabocklish, Comberton, Sinite, Vin-
dicator, Faint Heart., and Jassy, Huntsman's Daughter
bringing up the rear. After going about 300 yards Laura
took up the running, Vindicator being next, Standard
Bearer and Comberton following, clear of Jassy and
Hence, Huntsman's Daughter still last. No change oc-
curred until nearing the hurdles preceding the water jump
where Comberton took second place, and, after passing
the hurdle, forced the pace, Laura being at the head of the
others. They came on in compact order to the water
jump, which was cleared first by Vindicator, Laura being
noxt,the others following in much the same orderas above.
All got safely over, with the exception of Faint Heart, who
swerved into the course, and was not persevered with.
When the next fence had been cleared Laura came forward
and took up the running, followed closely by Comberton
and Vindicator, the next body of horses comprising
Standard Bearer, Black Rock, and Sinite. At the fence
opposite the Stand Helice fell and threw Potter, who, how-
ever, escaped with a slight shaking, and walked to the
paddock with assistance. ,Five furlongs from home Laura
dropped back beaten, and this left Comberton with the lead,
Vindicator and Hence (who went on riderless) being clear
of the others. Before reaching the straight Vindicator
was done with, and Wings of the Wind, who was baulked
by Relics; took his position on the water-jump side of the
course ; but, being beaten on tho ascent, Comberton can-
tered iu au :easy winner by a length. Nabocklish came
with a rush at the finish, and obtained third place, a length
behind Wings of the Wind; Laura was fourth, Jassy fifth,
Blackrock sixth, Standard Bearer seventh, CI umber eighth,
Huntsman's Daughter ninth, Sinite tenth ; Vindicator
walked in next, while Portfire was beaten by fully half a
mile.

Betting-5 to 4 agst Stiff, 100 to 30 each agst Ace of
Trumps and Red Rose. Horace Walpole made play, fol-
lowed by Stiff, Red Rose, and Ace of Trumps; Oldmineter
for a short distance being in the rear. After going about
half a mile, Ace of Trumps, heading Red Rose, took third
place, but before reaching the water jump Red Rose again
wont up to Horace Walpole, Stiff simultaneously giving
way to Oldminster, and the lot came along in a compact
body to the water jump, which ;Horace Walpole, Red Rose,
and Ace of Trumps cleared nearly abreast, Oldminster,
who followed tho trio, refusing, and thereby baulking
Stiff, who was following in his track. Eventually, how-
ever, both got over the obstacle and went on in pursuit,
Oldminster refusing again at the farm-house fence, his
jockey having some difficulty to get him over. Tho fa-
vourite soon got on terms with his horses, and alternately
led with Horace Walpole and Rod Rose, but the last men-
tioned had a clear advantage at the flight of hurdles about
a quarter of a mile from home, and was going remarkably
well, when he came down, falling on French, who fortu-
nately, escaped material injury. This contretemps allowed
Ace of Trumps to take up the running, and he won in a
canter by three lengths; Stiff was a bad third, and the
other two did not pass the post.

Betting-5 to 4on Maid of the Mill, sto 1 agst Adver-
tisement, and 10 to 1 each agst Flare-up and Somerled.

toria, Maid of the Mill, Advertisement, and Somerled, the
rear being brought up by Jove for about a quarter of a
mile, when the command was taken up by Advertisement ;
Elsie Venner, Somerled, Flare-up, and Statesman follow-
ing in the order named; Jove still being in the rear till
approaching the five-furlorg post. At this point Mr.
Brayley's horse ran into third position, his place in the
rear being taken by Bright Flash. Making the turn into
the straight, Maid of the Mill took up the running—Vit-
toria, love, and Flare-up going on next. Making the
straight for home, all, with the exception of the favourite
and Flare-up, were beaten. Maid of the Mill held a slight
lead toihe commencement of the enclosure, where Mr.
Yates called on the outsider, and won, after a fine race,
by a short head. Jove was a bad third, Somorled trotted
in fourth, Bright Flash was fifth, Advertisement sixth,
Statesman seventh, Elsie Vonner eighth, and Vittoria
walked in last.
