After a couple of failures Camerino, over-pulling Grim-
shaw, rushed to the front, and with the Clarissa colt and
Charing Cross in close company, made strong running, the
others lying close up, with the exception of Vergiss-mein-
nicht, Drake, and Dictator. In this order they entered the
old course, when Oldminster ran by his horses and went on
with a commanding lead, Camerino going on second,
Clarissa colt third, Charing Cross fourth, and Squire Peirse
next ; Dictator at the same time began to improve his posi-
tion, and followed on, some two or three lengths in advance
of the ruck. As they approached Dringhouses, Clarissa
colt was passed by Charing Cross and Squire Peirse, who
followed closely in the track of the leaders; but on reach-
ing the T.Y.C. post they were in trouble, and Dictator ran
past them, followed by Vergiss-mien-nicht, the others, out-
paced, presenting an extended tail. On entering the

was beaten, leaving Fife with the lead, which he held to the
stand, where Miss Pennell and Blackrock headed him and
came on together, and after the semblance of a race, Harri-

go round his horses, and Letty Long on the rails, which
enabled her to get in front ; but, after running a few strides,
she was joined by Q.E.D. and Letty Long, between which
three a close and exciting race ensued, the favourite at last
