THE RACE.
The jockeys drew lots for places, but their relatlive posi-
tions were immaterial, as the "ranks" were not kept.
Queenstown was number one, next the rails, and in the
front lot with her were Roo'vrethorpe, Bankrupt, Olympias,
Royal Sovereign, Polestar, Wrestler, Lifeboat, Underhand,
Master Begot, Prioress, Raspberry, Roman Candle, The
Brewer, Wilton, and Mr. Sykes. After a little delay, caused
principally by Cawood, King William, Raspberry, and
Wrestler, and the disinclination of Leamington to come near
the front, Mr. Hibburd dropped his flag to an admirable
start. On settling into their places Raspberry took up the
running, with Underhand, Coroner, Master Begot, Herne,
Rosabel, Satinstone, Lifeboat, Rogerthorpe, Leamington,
and Pensioner clustering wellup. In the rear were Prioress,
Olypias, and Thornhill. Raspberry went on with the run-
ning to the Castle Pole turn, where Leamington came
through his horses, cannoned against Lifeboat, whom he
nearly upset, but going on at his ease, and, without let
or hindrance, won by two lengths. Herne, Botany,
and Prioress, who came together on getting into the straight,
finished at an interval of a length each; Royal Sovereign
was a moderate fifth ; Fisherman, Coroner, and Rosabel
headed the next lot. The rear rank comprised Roman
Caddie, Harraton, Sam Spode, and Rara Avis. The last,
trotting in, was Wrestler.
SCRATCHINGS.—OId Robert, Arsenal, Drogheda, Jordan, 1
and Yorkshire Grey were struck out on Tuesday. Defender

third and fourth. •

A more successful Cup Day was never celebrated. The
weather was warm, the racing interesting, and the attend-
ance larger than on any preceding anniversary of the meet-
ing. From the above return it will be seen that Leaming-
ton achieved a triumph beyond parallel. He won the race
in 1857, and to carry off the Cup twice has never fallen to
the lot of any other racehorse.

METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET.
Our market to-day was but moderately supplied with all
kinds of beasts, the general condition of which was by no
means first rate. The beef trade ruled inactive at Monday's
currency. The show of sheep was rather limited, yet all
kinds met a dull inquiry at unaltered quotations. The best
old Downs, in the wool, sold at ss. 8d , out of wool ss. per
81b. Lambs moved off slowly, but no change took place in
prices, which ruled from ss. 4d. to 6s 4d. per 81b. The
few calves in the market were dull, but not cheaper. Pigs
and mulch cows commanded very little attention.
Per 81bs. to sink the offal.
