second, followed past the stand by Royallieu, Optimist, and
Wizard ; then came Thormanby, Doefoot, Lady Clifden, and
Mon Etoile in the order we have given to the hill, going up
which Wallace increased his lead considerably, and was up-
wards of six lengths in advance of Mr. Ten Broeck's horse
as.they neared the Craven post, Royallieu going on third,
Wizard fourth, and Thormanby next, with the others fol-
lowing in Indian file, the last two being Lady Clitden and
Mon Etoile. On reappearing in sight Wallace was still in
possession of the lead, which gradually decreased as they
proceeded up the hill, Starke in company with Royal-
lieu, Wizard, Optimist, and Thormanby drawing towards
the front as they reached the brow. On rounding the turn
for home Wallace gave evident symptoms of distress, and,
although he gamely struggled on, was in a few strides
further passed in succession by Starke, Royallieu, and
Wizard; Optimist, with Thormanby and Doefoot, following
in close order. At the distance Royallieu was beaten, Thor-
manby following suit in a few strides after, and their places
were taken by Optimist, who, in company with Wizard,
waited upon the leader to the entrance to the rails, when
the favourite ran by his horses, and came on with a clear
lead, Starke lying second, and Optimist third, on the St and
side of the course, the three running extremely wide to the
Stand, when Fordham called upon his horse, who answered
in the most gallant manner, and after a protracted finish
landed the American colours first by a head only, Wizard
defeating Optimist by three lengths for the second money ;
Thormanby finished a bad fourth; Mon Etoile, who ran
through as the others were pulling up, was fifth, Wallace,
sixth, Doefoot next, and Royallieu and Lady Clifden the
two last.

Master Fenton cut out the work, followed by the Adine

back, and the running was taken up by Villette, who car-
ried it on to the stand, where the Ace of Clubs got to her
head, and won cleverly by a neck, Villette beating Master

flag. When the flag was lowered Buccaneer jumped away
with the running, which he carried on for the first two
hundred yards, when he was passed by Ripon, who, in
cempany with Spicebox on the rails and Gibraltar in the
centre, came on in front to the distance, where Spicebox
took a commanding lead, followed by Asteroid, Gibraltar,
Lupellus, and Buccaneer, to which lot the race was con-
fined. At the stand the three placed closed and ran
altogether to the chair—Spicebox winning cleverly by a
