As to the " severe season of Novemberr during which
the dislodging of my tenants took place, thii bircumettncs,
which is made Imo of to raise loud cries, is to. be imputed

the Court—delivered after a long trial, in which all the

me to execute the law eight months before November ; and,

Comet made the whole of the running exlept for a hun-
dred yards, when Piff Paff headed her across the " seeds."
Sunbeam was second over the brook, but crept gradually
to the rear, and took no further part in the race. Comet
won cleverly by half a length, and Venison was a very bad
third. J. Holman weighed for Bantam, but his number
was afterwards taken down.

Medora went to the front as soon as the flag was lowered.
The Monmouthshire and Doubtful next, the rest in abody.
After turning and crossing the ploughed land Medora took
a long lead. In the seeds the Monmouthshire and the
Freshman went up to her, Doubtful baying the fourth place.
Medora was first over the brook, the rest following in close
order. They cantered past the stand, and then the Mon-
mouthshire took up the running ; the three next at the turn
being Medora, Doubtful, and Jerusalem. Cloughbally refused
the fence at thi end of the winning field and did not leave
it. The Monmouthshire continued his lead until they were
over the lane, when the Freshman passed him, and Ace of
Hearts and Jerusalem drew forward, Medora, the Mon-
mouthshire, Doubtful, and Ace of Hearts lying close to-
gether, Deception in the extreme rear. In the bend for
home the Freshman had a clear lead, with Doubtful, Jeru-
salem, and Medora in his wake. The Monmouthshire fell
beaten at the last fence but two ; Deception having been out
of the race for some time. Into the winning field the
Freshman landed first and Jerusalem second; about six
lengths from them came Medora and Doubtful, the other
being nowhere. The Freshman won easily by three lengths,
and Doubtful, a neck in advance of Medora, was a bad
third. Penarth was struck out at 10'60 a.m.
