Tax RACE.
When the horses were drawn up in a line they were
thrown into confusion by the breaking away of Dui-
camera, Codrington, Cardsharper, Van Dunck, Janet,
Drumour, Peeping Toro, and December ; Codrington
and Duicamara ran tothestand before they were stopped,
and Cardsharper, overpowering his rider, went twice
round the course and was not stopped till he had gone
the entire distance to be run over by the Cup.
At about 20 minutes past 4 an admirable start was
effected, Commotion being first off, but on turning into
the straight he was joined by Bay Hilton, Peeping
Torn, and Van Dunck. Thus they passed the Grand
Stand the first time, and on rounding the top turn Van
Dunck showed slightly in advance, Commotion being in
close attendance, Cardsharper, Gemma di Very, and
Riseber following in the order named. On entering the
Dee side of the course Cardsharper rushed to the front,
Van Dunck and Commotion lying side by side next,
Peeping Torn and Gemma di Vergy in couples next. Oa
re-entering the straight Commotion went up to the
Cardsharper, and on passing the Grand Stand the
second time was running nearly head and head with
him, Van Dunck going an t, ird, Gemma di Vergy
fourth, Peeping Tem, Turbit, and Drumour beading the
ruck. In the extreme rear were Longsight and Cum-
berland, who were at this point pulled up. On going
along the Dee side of the course the second time Com-
motion took a clear lead, and Dulcamara drew into the
second place, Gemini di Vergy going on third, Riseber
and Lance next, nearly abreast with. Drumour, and
Leamington in their wake side by side. Commotion
held the lead round the turn, when he dropped back,
and Riseber was left in possession of the lead, Dutra-
mara,being second; Gemma di Vergy third, Leamington
and Drumour fourth and fifth. At the distance Lea-
mington drew to the front and headed Riseber, and
Gerucna di Vergy was soon afterwards beaten. Dru-
mour in the next few strides " split" Riseber and Dul-
camara, and took second place, but could not quite
reach Leamington, who won by a neck ; a length be-
tween second and third. About two lengths behind them
came Riseber, Lance and Polestar, close together ;
Genury di Vergy was cext, and Pantomime headed the
rock.
Hughes and Withington were fined 10/, each, and
Monday and Ward were reprimanded and cautioned.

The holiday folk, who from an early hour trooped
into the ancient city of Chester, thronged its quaint
rows, and swarmed along the walls, were fortunate both
with regard to the weather and the sport. The Roodee
presented a vast amphitheatre of heads, and indeed the
course might not inaptly be compared to the ring at
Astley's, and the spectators, who wore ranged in long
dense rows rising one above another from the course up
the embankments to the wall tops, appeared like an
audience witnessing the scene in the circle, The sun
shone gaily, and altogether the effect was strikingly pic-
turesque and animated.
Although the Exhibition of Art Treasures at Man-
chester was a powerful counter attraction, and deterred
many persons who were wont to attend Chester on the
" Cup day" from being present, yet the muster of plea-
sure people and influential patrons of the sport seemed
as numerous as et-er.
The Tradesmen's Plate, or, as it is popularly called,
"The ChesterCup,'' was the third event decided. Ample
time was allowed to complete the business of weighing
' and saddling, and punctually to the appointed
willtime,
3.40, the 35 competitors were drawn up. As it be
seen from our description of the race the start was de-
layed about 40 minutes. The race resulted in favour
of Leamington—an animal which had from the publica-
tion of the weights down to • within a few minutes of
staring held the position !of leading favourite. At the
11).4, however, be was superseded in the betting by Com-
motion.
