Grindoff, Tolurno, Bandage, and Commander.
'1 he owner of Grindoff claimed 51b allowance, instead of

ground that the sire (Yellow Jack) and the dam (Maid of

Betting-3 to 1 agst Febrifuge, 4tol, at first 3to 1,
agst Discretion, 6 to 1 agst Tolurno, 7 to 1 agst Entremet,

10 to 1 agst Pellucid.
After some delay at the post a pretty fair start was
effected. Discretion, Entremet, Febrifuge, and Tolurno
getting off in front. At the half distance Entremet was
beaten, Febrifuge and Discretion being nearly head and
head. Tolurno at their heels seemingly unable to
split them. On nearing the stand Febrifuge made his effort,
but could not head discretion, who won very cleverly by a
neck, three lengths between second and third, Tolurno was
fourth, nearly half a dozen lengths off, Bandage next. The
last three were Pellucid, Rose d'Amour, and Lord Stanley.
After the race much discussion took place in the ring as to
whether the horses had gone the proper distance, the condi-
tions on the card stating that they were to run the straight
half mile, no mention being made of the T.Y.C., but the
question was soon decided on reference to the book Calen-
dar, which states explicitly that the " T.Y.C. is a straight
half mile."

The Somersetshire Stakes of 25 soya each, 15 ft, and 5
only if declared, with 100 added ; the second horse to re-
ceive 50 sovs out of the stakes, and the third to save his
stake. Two a miles and a distance. 99 subs, 58 of whom
declared, and paid 5 sovs each.

Chesterfield, and Medusa.
Betting-4 to 1 agst Bumble Bee, sto 1 agst West End,
6to 1 agst Moorcock, Bto 1 agst Anthem, 10 to 1 agst
Highflyer.
After a little wheeling about the flag was dropped, and
soon afterwards Voltella rushed to the front and lead past
the Grand Stand, her immediate attendants being Farmer
from Kerry, Eskdale, West End, and Bumble Bee, Medusa
and Anthem bringing up the rear. On rounding the top
turn Voltella increased her lead, and on entering the far
side of the course she was nearly a dozen lengths ahead,
Fitzavon going on second, West End third, the others,
with the exception of Medusa and Anthem, who were
" lag last," keeping close company. Half way up the
back stretch Voltella was still making the running at a
merry pace, and the cry of "they will never catch
her" seemed likely to be true. After rounding the far
turn, however, her lead was rapidly decreased, Eskdale,
Fit rayon, West End, and Farmer from Kerry followed her
in the order named. On entering the straight the last three
mentioned disappeared, and their places were taken by
Highflyer, Ipswich, and Moorcock. Before reaching the
distance Venetia had shot her bolt, and Moorcock took up
the running, but was not afterwards headed, and won very
cleverly by half a length, the second beating the third by
a length ; three lengths off Bumble Bee was fourth, Fitz-
even fifth, Anthem and Eskdale next, Farmer from Kerry
and Medusa, the last two, beaten off.
