Wired his adviottagt and was never approached until
reaching the .thiad ff ace off home, when Saverake came
with sa rush, anal 'at to the favourite's quarters, the pair
jumping the fence side by side, but Land's horse overjurap -
ing hit itself, came tic wit on his nose and knees, and in conse-
quence lost whateins chance he might have had. This mis-
hap gave Glautias a commanding lead, and he passed the
post 20 lengths in ad vance of The Dodger, his only oppo-
nent. Nothing els 4 6 came by the post. The winner was
bought in for 135 g. lit teas.

ais =ion jumped away, with a strong lead, followed by
Venis on and Ascot in the order we have given, the trio
taking their fences in very clever style, in which way they
ran to the turning flag in tin, bottom, rounding which Veni-
son wet it on the wrong side, and had to retrace his steps,
which 1 eft him a long way ,in the rear. From this point
the race was never in doubt.. ItUarmion came on with a com-
manding lead and won in a canter by three lengths., ton
lengths separating the second and third. The winner was

With little or no loss . of time the animals were got to the
•in a line. Linkboy, on the ex-
ving the favourite at his girths,
post and despatched nearly
treme right of the starter, ha
first fence was taken by
11 the running, but on
was the first to show in advan:e, but was almost immedi -
the front, and took a
ately after pulled back, and the'
Kibworth Lass, who cause on wt.:
passing the stand Marmion rushed ti.'
clear lead, followed by Acchy, Heads or Tails, Linkboy,
Kibworth Lass, and Escape, the latter lying off several
lengths. Friar of Apshall 'having thus earl] been disposed
of by falling in the middle the preceding field by putting
his fore legs into a drain, his rider, we are glad to record,
received no further injury than .a shaking. As they passed
over the ploughed land the pace considerably diminished;
Marmion, evidently upon the cattiog down principle, ex-
tended his lead, with the others widely scattered following
on in Indian file, Escape at this pca.nt being upwards of 120
lengths in the rear of everything. In this way they ram
towards the farm buildings, where At'ehy was passed by
Linkboy, and ere they reached the starting' field the former
also gave way to Heads or Tails. On passinj the stand the
second time Marmion was still in command, h. lying for his
immediate followers Linkboy, Heads or Tails, .and Archy,
in the order we have given them, the latter evidently
tiring at every stride, with Kibworth Lass next And the
favourite still lying away. No material change took place
until the leading horses entered the second piece of seeds,
where Kibworth Lass emerged from her rearward posi,tion,
and took a slight lead, but retained the place only to
the fence out of the turnips, where Sadler again brought.
Marmion to the front, followed by Linkboy and Heads or •
Tails, the latter pair running side by side. Archy, who,
appeared entirely " pumped" out, was here stopped and took
no further part in the race, and was passed in succession by
Kibworth Lass and Escape, the latter somewhat improving:
his position. On approaching the stand for the last round,
the riders of the leading horses, Marmion and Linkboy,,
under a belief the race finished here, "sat down" in earnest,
and but for the shouts of the spectators for them to "go on"-
they would have been caught napping, but as they jumped
the fence into the plough they were headed by Kibwortia
Lass, who once more showed in advance, Heads or Tails at;
the same time taking the third place, Escape creeping up.
Half-way down the hill Nightingale brought the favourite
to the front, the lot running in close order to the fence be-
fore reaching the lane, which Escape took slightly in ad-
vance of Linkboy, who went on second, Heads or Tails next,
with Marmion in close attendance, in which positions they
ran to the fence out into the winning field, which the
favourite, in company with Linkboy, cleared about a length
in advance of Heads or Tails, amid loud shouts from the
stand, " Escape wins ;" but a few strider; further G.
Stevens called upon his mare, who answered, .and shot to
the front, was never after headed, and won very easily by
two lengths, half a length separating the second and third;
Kibworth Lass finished a good fourth, and Escape, who
was pulling up, fifth.

At to-day's market Is per qr more money was made,
and business was very inactive for wheat. Flour the turn
dearer, with a fair demand. Malting barley met with very
little attention. Oats and other ar icles at last week's
prices.
