Some considerable time was lost at the post in conse-
quence of the difficulty in getting the horses in order, many
breaking away, and in the last attempt Antioch slipped up
through his feet "balling" with the snow, and unhorsed
his rider, who, fortunately, escaped unhurt. At last the
flag was lowered, and the horses left the post nearly in a
line. The Picnic filly having a slight lead, made the run-
ning, followed in the centre by Donna del Lago, Blacklock,
Broad Arrow, and Agag, Misfire, who headed the rear
division, lying to the extreme right. Half-way in the cords
Mr. Crawfurd's filly compounded, and left Donna del Lago
in possession of a slight lead, which she held to within a
few strides of the chair, when Woodhouse brought up the
favourite, and landed her the winner by a head. The Picnic
filly finished a good third; the Traveller, Broad Arrow, and
Grant finished nearly abreast, the others were pulled up
and trotted in.
