taking any further part in the race, and returned home.
This mishap left Goldsmith with the lead, but
he was shortly after pulled back, and King o' Toole
went on with the running, which he carried on over
the two succeeding fences, Goldsmith going on second,
Savernake third, Ingestre fourth, Ascot and Keepsake side
by side bringing up the rear. On rounding the turning-
flag near the road King 0' Toole came on the inside, and his
rider, finding his mistake, returned, and in consequence was
left some distance in the rear of Goldsmith, who came on
with a commanding lead, waited upon by Savernake, In-
gestre, and the Irish King; Ascot following next, with
Keepsake hopelessly in the rear. Approaching the fence
into the winning field, the leading hors,s closed and cleared
it without a mistake, but Ascot, less fortunate, put his foot
in one of the new made drains and rolled over, and returned
to the stable. The leading horses passed the stand a second
time in the order we have given them, in which order they
ran to the hill on the far side, where the race was reduced
to a match between Goldsmith and Ingostre; the others
finding their chance entirely out, were pulled up, and re-
turned home. Goldsmith had the lead until nearing the last
fence but one from home, when Ablett brought up Ingestre,
who waited upon the leader to the last fence, which the pair
jumped nearly abreast. Half way up the hill Ingestre took
a clear lead, and won easily by three lengths. Nothing else
passed the post. The winner was not sold.
The Croydon Stakes (handicap) of 5 sovs each (in case of

Mr. Francis'slCorkscrew, aged, 9st 41b (Gammage) 1

Mr. B. Land's Farmer from Kerry, 4 yrs. 9st 71b (Martin) 3
Mr. W. W. Baker's Marmion, aged, fist 101 b (J. Sadler) 4
Johnny and Dunboyne also ran.
Betting-6 to 4 agst Farmer from Kerry, 2to 1 agst Dun-
boyne, and 4 to 1 agst any other.
Marmion made play to the stand, followed by Dunboyne,
Farmer from Kerry, Johnny, and Col', screw, in the order
we have given them, Linkboy bringing up the rear. At the
fence into the plough Dunboyne swerved, and taking it
sideways, struck a tree, and we fear broke his jawbone.
Marmion narrowly escaped, coming in collision with him
as he fell. On entering the ploughed lard Corkscrew rushed
to the front, and took a commanding lead ; Farmer from
Kerry went on second, but shortly after fell in the middle
of the fi -Id, M armion in consequence being left in possession
of second place, and, notwithstanding the favourite was
speedily remounted, his chance was entirely destroyed from
this point. There was little or no alteration in this order of
running until they passed the stand a second time, when
Corkscrew increased his lead, followed by Marmion, Link-
boy, Johnny, and the discomfited Farmer from Kerry at
wide intervals. From this point the race may be said to be
virtually ended. Corkscrew came on with unremitted vigour
and won very easily by three lengths ; Linkboy finished a
length in advance of Farmer from Kerry, who ran gamely
to the end ; Marmion was a bad fourth. ; Johnny, who pulled
up beaten halfway across the turnip field, returned to his
stable; and did net pass the post.

to 1 agst Telegraph, and 8 to 1 agst Savernake.
The running was alternately made by The Slasher, Tele-
graph, and The Dodger to within half a mile of home, when
Yorkee went to the front and took a clear lead, which he
held to the end, and won very easily by four lengths, two
lengths separating the second and third. The Slasher was
a bad fourth; Telegraph fell at the last fence, and Lady's
Maid in the ploughed land, the second time round.
Johnny was struck out of the handicap for this day at
3 30 p.m. yesterday, having cut himself in the Croydon
Stakes.
