Ist Heat-7 to 4 agst Wassailer; sto 1 agst King
William; 6 to 1 aget Matilda; and 10 to 1 agst Jest.
The lot kept together till within half a distance from home,
vhen King William, Wassailer, and Jest singled them-
selves out from the crowd ; Jest, however, was shut out
by the other two, who made a beautiful finish, King WO-
liam winning by a head only, and breaking down imme-
diately he pulled up.

2(1 Heat--5 to 4on Wassailer; and 4to 1 agst Ring-
dove. All started except King William, Chance, and
Fawn, who were drawn. From some boggling amongst
the riders at going off, Metheglin, the Rubens horse, and
Alitibila had a start of 50 or 60 yards, and all but these
three were beaten at the commencement; Metheglin made
strong p'ay till round the corner, when the Rubens horse
went by him and won easy; there was terrible tailing.
3d Heat-6 to son Wassailer, and sto I agst Zulicks.
Jest made all the running, anti won cleverly. Oatlands
did not run in this heat.

4th Heat-4 to 1 on Jest. There is a law of the
Jockey Club that where three horses have each won a prat
they only can start for the fourth ; according to this, King
William, the Rubens horse, and Jest filly alone had a
ight to start ; the owner of Wassailer, however, insisb.l
.hat, as King William had been drawn after the first heat,
he must be looked upon as " distanced or disqualified,"
and that therefore there were only two winners of heats ;
in fact, that the first beat went for nothing. Upon this
;round, and also because (as he objected) the Rubens horse
cad been improperly described, be started his horse for
.he fourth beat. The case is a curious one, and will
',knit of some special pleading. The Jest filly maintained
her superiority in this heat, was never headed, and won
,asy. She was jockeyed in the two last heats by young
Farrell, who was wisely put up in the place of an inex-
perienced lad who rode in the two first heats.
There was no race for the Free Handicap.
