doo fell, and was pulled up. On going along the meadows,
the second time Escape took second place to Pine Apple,
Jerusalem th rd, The Unknown fourth, Fanny last. On
coming to the last fence Pine Apple and Escape were side

Ireley went off in front, but refusing five or six times,
was passed by all the lot, when Handy went on with the
running till the last fence, where Ireley came to grief, and
Gamester, who had been lying close up, got to Handy's
quarters, and a good race in was seen, Gamester getting the
best of it within a few strides of the chair, and winning by
a head ; a bad third, the others did not pass the post. Rufus
dislodged his jockey at one of the fences on the far side, and
came over the course riderless, whilst Ireley fell at the last
fence, coming into the winning field, but neither horse nor
jockey were injured.

Bettin-7 to 4 agst Medora, 11 to 4 agst Master Bagot,
4 to 1 agst Longford, 6 to 1 agst Kibworth Lass.
Kibworth Lass went off with a clear lead, having Long-
ford and Brilliant at her heels, Medora, Master Bagot, and
Blind Hookey lying off. In this order they entered the
winning field (the first time), and came past the Stand,
where Pullaway took second place, Longford falling into
the rear, and going on side by side with Bagot and Blind
Hookey. Shortly after clearing the first fence out of the
winning field, Medora was indulged with the lead, but not
for long, as Enoch sent Kibworth Lass along, and before
many more fences were cleared she was again in front, Mas-
ter Bagot close up third, the lot going on at a fast pace. On
clearing the big fence into the large meadow, Master Bagot
bolted out of the course, and lost many lengths. Mr. Ed-
wards soon had him in the track again, and was quickly up
with the leading horses. Master Bagot and Longford then
raced together to the last fence but one, and charging it
abreast, cannoned, and both came down a burster, each
jockey flying several yards, but were soon up again, and we
are pleased to say that neither horse nor rider were injure 1.
After this accident, Medora went on at her leisure and won
in a canter by four lengths. Kibworth Lass and Blind
Hookey raced in up the straight for second place, which the
latter obtained by a neck. Brilliant was a bad fourth.
Pullaway tried on the far side, and was pulled up, and,
with Longford and Master Bagot, walked in after the judge
had left the chair.
