Ibex, n 0 to 6 agst Portland, 20 to 1 each agst Overton,
Lighthe art, and Joe Maley, and 25 to 1 each against Ace of
Hearts and Globule. After one failure they got away in
good order, Salamander immediately taking up the run-
ning at a moderate pace, followed by Overton, Cortolvin,
and Penarth, the rear being whipped in by Joe Maley. As
they cleared the first fence Cortolvin passed Overton, the
ruck presenting no change, and in this order they neared
the artificial water jump in front of the stand, which Sala-
mander cleared in front of Overton and Cortolvin side by
side, Portland heading the others in a cluster, with the ex-
ception of Joe Maley, who was still many lengths in the rear.
No variation occurred up the hill, but that Ace of Hearts
swerved, and being set straight, he again toiled on a long
way in the rear. On their reappearing from behind the hill
the leaders occupied the same relative positions, but Penarth
was out of the race, and Ace of Hearts was not perse-
vered with. Ivanhoff ran through his horses and went up
to the favourite's head, but immediately gave way, Sala-
mander again taking a clear lead, followed by Cortolvin,
next to whom came Ibex, Lightheart, and Globule. On
taking the water-jump the second time there was no alte-
ration in the loading division, but Overton refused, and
could not be got over. No material change occurred till
reaching the hurdles at the commencement of the straight,
except that the tailed division were hopelessly beaten ; but
an interesting race was anticipated as the Cortolvin joined
the Liverpool winner, as they approached the last obstacle,
but Lord Poulett's "crack" appeared to have exhausted his
last effort, as he could not rise to his hurdles, which he
breasted, rolling completely over his rider ; but J. Page,
although shaken, was not hurt. Salamander, lett to him-
self, cantered in amidst great cheering, twenty lengths in
front of Ibex. Lightheart was a bad third, Globule an
indifferent fourth, Portland fifth, Penarth sixth, Ace of
Hearts and Ivanhoff walking in with the crowd.
