On taking their preliminary canter, Scrubbing Brush
knocked down a woman with an infant in her arms, but for-
tunately no injury was inflicted. She caused further trouble;
for, on getting nearly to the starting post, Cballoner dis-
covered that his saddle was broken, and he was compelled
to return to the weighing stand to change it. Admiral Rous

accompanied the starter to the post, and undertook the re-
sponsibility of getting so large a field off. His starting,
however, was not quite as successful as his handicapping,
and when he gave the oignal tho horooo woro net in line_
The race admits of very little description, for Buccaneer was
in front when the flag fell, and he went away with a clear
lead, running on the stand side of the course. His nearest
pursuers, on coming down the hill, were Suburban, Horace,
Voltella, Nutbush, Lava, Baron Munchausen, Pretendant,
and Cheesecake. The lot closed up on crossing the road, but
Buccaneer quitted them without difficulty, and ran home an
easy winner by a length and a half. The others were all
pulling up on passing the post, Pretendant on sufferance,
beating Baron Munchausen by a length; Lava being a head
only behind Lord Chesterfield's colt ; the others were also
stepped, Cheesecake leading the ruck; the rear lot consisted
of Bumble Bee, Amsterdam, Wing, Gibraltar, and Chere
Amie.
