Betting-2 to lon Discretion, 4to 1 agst Jung Frau,
and 6to 1 agst any other (offered). The horses were un-
usually fractious at the post, and it was sometime before
Mr. M'George could get them off. The flag at last fell to
an excellent start; the favourite soon showed in front, how-
ever, and crossed the old course with a clear lead, followed
by Antares and Jung Frau, with Cantiniere and Palermo
next. At the distance Discretion was in trouble; and roll-
ing about, despite Custance's efforts to keep her straight,
she gave way just before reaching the stand to Cantiniere,
who won in a canter by two lengths. Antares was third,
four lengths off, and Jung Frau, who seemed unable to
live the pace, finished a length behind Captain Christie's
horse.

Caller Oui, Cape Flyaway, and Chere Arnie lay in front
as the lot neared the old course, when Lopcatcher and
Caller Oui took a slight lead. Passing the Stand Caller
Oui pulled her way to the front, but running out at the
turn, the lead was left with Lopcatcher, who made play at
a strong pace all the way round the back side, followed
by Desmond, Chere Arnie, Cape Flyaway, and Caller Oui,
in the order named. Going up the hill for the turn into the
straight Caller Oui passed her horses one by one, and went
on right in the wake of Lopcatcher, who showed the way
round the turn with a clear lead, Caller OW, Sutton, Chere
Arnie, Desmond, and the favourite being next. In a few
strides further Lopcatcher and Caller Oui compounded and
were passed by Cape Flyaway and Sutton. At the distance
Cape Flyaway obtained the lead, and, coming on by him-
self, won very cleverly by a length. Palaisean, who passed
a lot of beaten horses inside the distance, fiuished third, a
length behind Sutton, Lopcatcher was a bad fourth ; and

noway, succeeded in bringing to land an enormous spy'
men of the basking shark, measuring 25 feet in l - '. Its
liver and blubber filled eight herring hp-cts. The cap-
turers sold it for £6, and it is beu.ved that the purchaser
will make 300 per cent, of prOlit by the transaction. This
is by far the !argotic specimen of the shark ever brought
ashore in this country. Its teeth were an inch and a half
