entering the race-course the second time Tom Gurney
held a slight lead, with Hindoo, Teddesley, and Jean du
Quesne next, Emigrant being fifth, separated frOm them
by a wide interval. At the last flight of hurdles only
three were 1/ft in the race, Tom Gurney, Hindoo, and
Jean du Quesne. They charged 'the obstacle nearly
abreast, Tom Gurney being cannoned 'against as they
landed. Jean du Quesne kohl that point waited upon
Hindoo, quitted. bins without an effort, and won easily
by a length. Three lengths between the second and
third. . Teddesleyiwas a bad fourth. The Mayor was
fifth, having passed-Maley, whose jockey was pulling up'
opposite the stand. The next two, more than a dis-
tance from home, were Victor Emmanuel and Twilight.
The Emperor fell at the first flight of hurdles. A dyke
in the low pastures proved fatal to Sandboy ; the first
time round he, dropped his hind legs into it, and on
reaching it the second time he did not " ripe" at it, but
ran right into it, elippei up, and broke his back. Erni-
grant fell at a fence at the bend on the race-course the

himself, he came heavily to the ground ; nsither hors!

arrived quickly, and the large steam floating engine was
also got into operation near the banks of the river. The
flames, however, continued to rage with unceasing
vigour for several hours, and illuminated the whole
atmosphere. By hall-past 12 at midnight the engines
managed to get the fire under their command, but not
until the premises and all they contained were for the
most part destroyed. It is understood that the principal
