Yorkshire Grey was the first away, and cut out the work
for a short distance, when he was headed by the Friar of
Apshall and Romeo, the three running in close company to
the first flight of hurdles, which they cleared cleverly; not
so Irish Emigrant and Corona, who blundered at them, and
were with difficulty saved from falling. Passing the Stand,
Friar of Apshall increased his lead, still followed by Romeo,
Yorkshire Grey, Irish Emigrant, and Corona, to the flight
of hurdles on the far side, which was refused by the two
latter, who in a few strides after were out of the race.
Little or no alteration occurred in the order of running
until they rounded the lower turn, when Romeo, in com-
pany with Mr. Land's horse, made an attempt to get up,
but failed, leaving the Friar to canter home an easy winner
by three lengths; four lengths between second and third;
Irish Emigrant trotted in fourth. Corona was pulled up,

After three or four failures they left the post in compact

A long delay at the post was occasioned by many of the
horses breaking away, but at length they were despatched
from the post to an equitable start. My Mary, being the
quickest away, made the running, lying in the centre, having
Leonora on the lower side, with Allez-y-rondem.int, Egyp-
tian, Tommy Jones, Mayflower, and Silkstone lying up on
the whip hand, the others in a cluster at their heels. On
reaching the distance Leonora went up to My Mary, and,
in a few strides further, they were joined by Mayflower and
the French representative, between which the race was en-

tirely confined. My Mary maintained her advantage to thb
end and won in a canter by half a length, half-a-dozen
lengths separating the second and third ; Allez-y-ronde-
ment was a bad fourth, the Idol filly fifth, Tommy Jones

and 7 to 1 agst Maid of Chesterfield.

Ellen jumped away with a clear lead, followed by Croagh
Patrick, Maid of Chesterfield, and Diadem to the distance,
where Creagh Patrick gave way to Mr. Smith's mare, and
Veteran; Diadem, in a few strides after, stopped as if shot,
and disappeared from the race. Ellen held her own to the
end, and landed her owner's colours with the greatest ease by
a length; the Veteran finished a wretched third, Croagh
Patrick fourth, and Squire Humphries neat; Diadem was
last, but did not pass the post.

Gauntlet rushed to the front, and, with Horace, Foxhead,
Queen of Spain, Memo, and Man-at-Arms lying in close
attendance, come on with the running to half way in the
distance, where Foxhead was beaten and dropped into the
rear. At the entrance of the stand enclosure Queen of Spain

DEERFOOT, THE INDIAN, AGAINST THREE
CHAMPIONS.

Great excitement was caused at Portsmouth yesterday by
the announcement that Decrfoot would contend in a ten
miles race against Mills, the six miles, and Brighton, the
four miles, champions, and Howard, the latter having per-
formed the marvellous feat of going 160 miles in less than
19 hours-18 hours and 48 minutes, including stoppages.
A sum of £5O had been raised by officers and others, £4O
of which were to be awarded to the first man, and £lO to
the second. The race was to have come off at the East
Hants Cricket Grounds, Southsea, and Mr. Barker had
made every preparation, garly in the morning, however,

the rain descended in torrents, which continued without
intermission till long after the hour fixed for starting, so
the race was postponed. It is decided, however, that the
contest shall certainly come off to-day, whatever the state
of the weather, a d the start will take place at three o'clock
precisely this afternoon.
