The race requires little description. The pace was se-
vere throughout. From start to finish Emigrant bore
his colours prominently in advance, and taking a line to
himself, was at times far ahead of his opponents. Minos
seemed beaten on passing the stand the first time, and on
quitting the racecourse he nearly came down. Escape
lay in the middle of the ruck until after clearing Beech-
er's Brook the second time, when he was hopelessly
beaten. The accidents, so far as we were able to ascer-
tain them amidst the confusion which prevailed, and the
short time which was allowed us between the decision of
the race and the departure of the express train, were
few, and, with one exception, not of a serious character.
On coming to the racecourse the first time Forest Queen
cannoned against Star of the West and knocked him
down. He was soon remounted, but refusing at the lane,
was stopped. Weathercock refused at the third fence,
but was soon righted, and lay off until reaching the
Canal-bridge turn, when he drew forward and soon
took the second place. Albatross fell on the racecourse,
and it is said broke her thigh. .Rod Rose was also re-
ported to have met with an accident. After clearing
Beecher's Brook the second time, Westminster took
the lead, Emigrant, who was keeping his own par-
ticular track, running very wide nut far in his wake,
Little Charley and Dangerous being third and fsurtb.
At the last fence but one, before reaching the race-
course, Westminster dropped back, and Etnisrant
again took a long lead, he was first over the last flight
of hurdles, Dangerous being second, Weathercock
third, Westminster and Treachery next. Emigrant gal-
loped in an easy winner by two lengths. At a wide in-
terval behind Weathercock were—Treachery third, Dan.
gerous fourth, and Westminster fifth, close together.
Behind them,' a long way came Jean du Quesne, Lady
Arthur, and Forest Queen. The next lot, consisting of
Casse Cou, Minos, Squire of Bensham, and Garry Owen,
trotted in. The succeeding division did not pass the
stand, and the last animals we noticed. were Escape and
