THE RACE.

The start was preceded by two failures,-but at the third
attempt they quitted the post in compact order. Blanche of
Middlebie was first to show in advance, and directly in her
wake Gildermire, Sunbeam, and Prince of Denmark. The
Hadji, East Langton, Mentmore, Toxophilite, Longrange,
and Volta, as nearly as we could make out, in the order
named. Soon after settling on to their legs the running
was taken up by Gildermire, but she shortly after gave way
to Prince of Denmark, Sunteain, and Blanche of Middlebie,
nearly side by side, next; and jusq3ehind them were Toxo-
philite and The Hadji, the extreme rear being brought up
by Farmer's Son and Knight of Kars. At the top of the
hill the Courier drew into the fourth place, and no note-
worthy change was made until reaching the wood, when
the 'front rank showed several alterations. At the bend
Prince of Denmark dropped away beaten, and The Hadji
and Toxophilite joined Gildermire, who disappeared from
the front in the next few strides, and Sunbeam, The Hadji,
Toxophilite, and Blanche of Middlebie only were left in the
race, Governess and the Courier heading the beaten lot.
On entering the straight, Sunbeam came to the fore, Toxo-
philite compounding at every stride. At the distance,
Blanche of Middlebie joined The Hadji and Sunbeam, and
the three ran a most exciting race home, Sunbeam winning
cleverly by half a length ; the second beating the third by
a neck. Two lengths off Toxophilite was fourth,
Long-range fifth, Brother to Bird-on-the-Wing sixth,
and Volta seventh, finished together, clear of Lord Derby's
horse. Governess, East Langton (who never got through
his horses), Mentmore, and Gildermire, were next ; Cou-
rier, The Farmer's Son, Prince of Denmark, and Eclipse
formed the last lot, Mr. Howard's horse being" absolutely"
last. Mr. Merry declared to win with Blanche of Middlebie.

lotted to the spectators was barely sufficient to meet their
requirements. Although the betting on the St. Leger was
very- circumscribed, yet the force with which the Knight
of Kars was brought into the market on Tuesday night,
and the "fluctuations" in the prices of other animals, sus-
tained the excitement with which the race was Tegarded.
Lord Derby's horse Toxophilite encountered much hos-
tility ; the cognoscenti disapproved of his style of going,
and all except the Yorkshire folk, who adhered with un-
diminished confidence to Lord Derby's colours, expressed
their doubts respecting his ability to get home. A favour-
able trial caused Blanche of Middlebie to supersede her
stable companion, Sunbeam, in the betting. The result of
the race, however, not only attested the glorious uncer-
tainty of the turf, but showed how the most seemingly, ac-
curate calculations may be upset. The Hadji reversed his
Epsom running with Toxophilite. The success of Sun-
beam was hailed with prolonged cheers, but the defeat of
Toxophilite seemed sorely to disappoint the spectators. Mr.
Merry 'won a very "nice stake," but not a very large sum.
A finer day for'the enjoyment of sport could not have been
desired.

Vertue all the time.
