The seven competitors took their preliminary canters,
and with little delay assembled at the post, and the flag
was lowered to the first attempt. The favourite, almost
pulling Kenyon out of the saddle, at once took a slight
lead of Lucifer, Quarantine, and Hurrah, close up with
whom were the others, with the exception of Sandal, who
was two or three lengths in the roar. Upon entering the
old course, the favourite took a clear lead, and Lucifer
being pulled back Hurrah took second place, Lord St.
Vincent's colt being next, Lady Florence, who-had Trea-
sure Trove and Quarantine at her girths, being next.
These positions were maintained as they proceeded up the
hill, the favourite still carrying on the running at a merry
pace to the bend before reaching the mile post, whore,
overpowering Kenyon, she ran out of the course, taking '
with her Hurrah, and the chances of the pair being thus
earl) extinguished, their defeat was announced by an ex-
ulting shout from the ring. In the next few hundred
yards Quarantine went to the front, but on reaching the
throe-quarter mile-post, Lucifer deprived her of the lead,
and, rounding the bend, she dropped away, leaving Lady
Florence and Treasure Trove in close attendance on the
leader, with Sandal in their wake. Mr. Brayley's mare,
before reaching Tattenham-corner, held a slight lead, but
rapidly compounding on entering the straight she dropped
away, and Lucifer in the centre of the course looked most
formidable, the race appearing to be a match between him
and Treasure Trove, who running well on the lower ground
took the lead two distances from home ; Sandal, however,
who had run wide at the turn, gradually closed, and Challoner
bringing him with a rush at the commencement of the en-
closure for a moment looked formidable, but Treasure
Trove easily hold his advantage, and won by four lengths .
Lucifer only defeated Sandal by a head for second place•
Tho other two, when pursuit was hopeless, wore pulled
up, and did not pass the post.

FRIGHTFUL ACCIDENT AT CHELTENHAM RACES.
FALL OF THE GRIND STAND.—We regret to an-
nounce that the proceedings at the races yesterday after-
noon were interrupted by a frightful accident The Grand
Stand suddenly broke down in the centre, and the whole
of the persons upon it, fully 300 in number, were buried in
the debris. Great exertions wore made
,to assist the suf-
ferers, and when they were extricated nine gentlemen
were found to be seriously injured, and a very small pro-
portion escaped scatheless. Many limbs were broken, and
contusions of every kind and severity were received. The
event of course occasioned the greatest excitement, and no
further interest was taken in the races.
