THE RACE.

A crowd of pedestrians and equestrians as usual assem-
bled at the starting. post to scrutinise the condition of the
competitors for the last time, before they commenced their
journey. When Mr. Hibburd, however, took up his flag,
and called upon the homes to take their -places, the
mounted spectators in his vicinity want helter-skelter to-
wards the winning chair, in order to witness the finish of
the race. The starter was soon left with a clear field, and
after wheeling round to the left, the horses began to form
in line. Tho only really fidgetty animal at the post was
Australian Maid—the mare that broke away in the Second
October week and ran through the town. She was led to
the post, and scarcely any persuasion could induce her to
join ber horses. After a very little impatience even on the
part of the most refractory animals, for the jockeys behaved
admirably under the command of the starter, the signal was
given, and the lot were despatched at exactly six minutes
past one. The first on her legs was Maud, who went away
about two lengths in advance, attended by Red Eagle,
Ditto, North Lincoln, Lady Alice, Petra, Benbow, and
Geologie, Prioress and Mutineer being at the tail of the
ruck, and Australian Maid half a dozen lengths behind.
They had scarcely reached the Criterion Stakes starting-
post when Ditto joined the rear lot, and Red Eagle took up
the running, followed by Lady Alice, Petra, Geologie,
Maud, Honey, Ariadne, Sam Spoke, Benbow, and Meg
Merrilies; North Lincoln, in the centre of this lot, going
as well as anything. As they neared the site of the old
Duke's Stand North Lincoln was beaten, and Honey and
Benbow also dropped away. Ariadne then drew towards
the leader, followed by Meg Merrilies, Lady Alice, and Sam
Spode. Lady Alice was beaten before reaching the cords,
and the race was left to the three placed, Red Eagle carry-
ing on the running to the end, and created a sensation by
winning cleverly by half a length; Meg Merrilies was
beaten three lengths, and as far from her Sam Spode
(fourth), and Lifeboat (fifth), were close together; Schism
and Mutineer were well up with the fifth, Maud and Lady
Alice were in front of the neat lot, N orth Lincoln, Petra,
Artless, Mazzini, and Honey were running in with the
second division in a cluster, and the lot pulling up was
followed by Volta, Gracchus, Montebello, and Brother to
Bird on the Wing. On starting Independence struck into
Sam Spode's heels, and nearly knocked him down.

COUNTRY MA_REBTB.

LIVERPOOL-OCT. 25.

We had a fair attendance of millers and dealers at our
corn exchange this morning, and they were more inclined
to do business. Wheat was rather more dealt in, and,
though previous prices were generally asked, the turn was
again in buyers' favour. Flour had a better sale at the
rates of last market. The business in Indian corn was fair
at full prices. Oats ld per bushel and oatmeal 6d per load
dearer. Beans, peas, and barley at extreme rates.
