The
proceedings c o v e
na
social,
but o n his i s own
not
ina
quadrupedal sense, were emphatically " slow," and
the character of the competitors was not of an
order to render their performances important, or to
excite more than a transient interest amongst
genuine racing men. The Americans have proved
the truth of the saying of the man down South,
who averred that British horses could lick creation,
but that theirs could lick the British. Mr. Ten
Broeck brought from America a stud of half -a-
dozen horses. Prioress, in her second year in Eng-
land, after running in such a manner as to make all
people believe that she would not be able to win a
saddle and bridle at Barnet fair, carried off our
principal handicap, and nearly repeated her
achievement a second year in succession.
Now we have to record the victory of another
American importation, Starke, who until to-day
had never shown racing ability worthy of conside-
ration, but who comes and upsets the calculations
of our shrewdest turf tacticians, by winning a race
which the owners of English horses have for months
been planning and scheming to obtain. Mr. Ten
Rroeck has beaten some of our best judges, literally
with their own weapons ; he has sold them his
horses and bought theirs, matched them, and come
through in triumph. He has ridden a race against
one of our most skilful amateur jockeys, and beaten
him; has pitted his judgment against that of
Englishmen, whose racing experience dates from
their youth, and he has now beaten them. Mr. Ten
Broeck made no secret of the confidence which he
placed in his horse, and scarcely a man in the ring
" missed laying," and that success, although attained
by an " outsider," did not give the bookmakers a
turn.

The horses got.away on the first attempt, Woodburn,
who was started to mako running for Starke, going off
with the lead, followed by Tocher, Melissa, Queen Bess,

Heiress, and Compromise, nearly in. the order named, and

pretty well laid, Queenstown and Gouvieux whipping
in. They passed the Stand without any material alteration,
but on nearing the turn out of the straight, Woodburn in-
creased his lead, and in pursuit of him, at clear intervals,
were Tocher, Melissa, Ethiopian, and Heiress. About six
lengths behind them came Gaspard, with Blue Jacket, Fern-
dale, and Compromise at his heels, Queenstown and Gou-
vieux being still last. After rounding the clump, Melissa
drew into the third place, and the lot were, in pretty close
order .80011 after coming into sight, with the exception of
Queenstown and -Gouvieux, who were now hopelessly
beaten.

As they ascended the hill Melissa took 'up the running,
followed by Tocher, Starke, and Heiress, Lifeboat, who
had been lying off in the ruck, now joining the leading
horses. After making the last turn, and on coming down
the hill, Melissa's leg gave way, and she dropped into the
rear, leaving Blpa Jacket with the lead, Starke tecond, in
close attendance Upon him, Lifeboat, Heiress, and Gaspard
next. At the distance, Starke took up the running, and
Lifeboat passed Blue Jacket at the enclosure, challenged
" the American," but failed to get up, and was, after a fine
race, beaten by half a length, Blue Jacket being six lengths
from the second; Heiress was fourth, beaten off, Compro-
mise was fifth, and Gaspard sixth, close up with Heiress.
Heading the next lot, all pulling up, were Miss Cath and
Gouvieux. The others did not pass the post. Melissa was
dismounted before reaching the stand, and far behind her
came Woodburn, trotting in.
