They wore despatched at the first attempt to a good
start, but in a few strides King Christian, iu the centre of
the course, went to the front, attended by Mongrel and
Cairngorm, Professor Anderson well up on the stand side
of the course. At the distance Mongrel showed slightly
in advance of the other two placed, and the three drawing
away from the others, ran home a close race, which ended
in favour of Mongrel by a neck, King Christian beaten two
lengths for second place ; Dulcimer, many lengths off, was
fourth, Cairngorm fifth, Holkar sixth, Jassy next, Cran-
ford beaten off.
At the scale f..n objection was lodged by the trainer of
King Christian against the first and second, on the ground
of foul riding, and subsequently the rider of Professor
Anderson lodged an objection against King Christian on
the same grounds. The Stewards, however, after hearing
evidence, confirmed the judge's decision.

of 5 sovs each, for 2-yr-olds and upwards; weight for

They were got away nearly in a line, but in a few strides
Preferment showed slightly in advance, but was soon
headed by Rebecca, on whom the favourite, pulling hard,
waited till half the distance had been run, when he took
up the running, and won easily by three parts of a length;
about a length separated the second and third. The Colo-
nist dam colt was fourth, Chicken Hazard next, and the
Glimpse filly last.
The favourite was bought in for 100 guineas.

Effervescence.
Almost immediately after starting the favourite took a
clear lead, followed by Stinger (pulling hard), Lady Flo-
rence, Morris Dancer, and Effervescence, who went on
clear of each other in the order named. They ran thus

out of the straight, when Kenyon took a pull at Stinger,
who dropped into fourth place, leaving Mr. Brayley's mare
(who was several lengths in advance of Morris Dancer)
in pursut of Pintail. The latter carried on.the running to
the five-furlong post, when Stinger again drew forward
and took his place at the side of the favourite, with whom
he raced nearly head and head to the distance, where Mor-
ris Dancer, who had been lying off, came "with a wet
sail," and in a few strides taking the lead, ran home an
easy winner by two lengths; Stinger defeated by half a
length for second place. Effervescence, several lengths off,
was fourth; Lady Florence beaten off.

Betting—Even Misfortune, 8 to 1 agst Bounceaway,
8 to 1 agst nine Duchess, 20 to 1 agst any other.
little delay occurred at the post, principally
,aused by the fractiousness of Rinderpest, but the flag fell
to a capital start ; the two favourites, however, in a few
strides, showed in front, and after going a quarter of a
mile the race was evidently reduced to a match between
the pair, with whom-tr slashing race ensued ; the favourite,
however, always had the best of it, and won by a head ;
Dunrobin a bad third ; Ivanhoe was fourth ; Golden Leaf
leading the others.

Betting-5 to 4on Professor Anderson, 7to 4 agst In-
digestion, 100 to 8 agst any other.

The start was delayed for a considerable time by The
Vampire, which showed temper, and refused to join his
horses. Upon the signal being given, the favourite
jumped off with the lead ; after going a hundred yards In-
digestion took up the running, was never again headed,
and won easily by three lengths ; two lengths separated
the second and third; a bad fourth.

The winner was bought in for 200 guineas. Mr. Lapi
dist claimed Professor Anderson.

Tattoo made the running followed by Olivia and His-
torian, till within a quarter of a mile from home, when the
leader (who swerved right across the course) dropped
away, and Olivia took up the running, followed by His-
torian, but the latter could not overhaul Olivia, who won
aasly by a length and a half ; two lengths separated the
second and third. Parry, the rider of the second, objected
to the winner for crossing, but the stewards left the judge's
decision undisturbed.
