Mr. Barber declared to win with Old Dog Tray.
The dense mist which prevailed rendered it impossible for
the spectators to distinguish the horses after they had pro-
ceeded a quarter of a mile from the stand. They started near
the Canal-bridge, and the first to show through the fog
were Escape, Maria Agnes, and the Friar Of Apshall, and
these raced to the hurdles near the distance, the Friar being
the first over, Ghika dwelling in his leap and requiring
some nursing to keep him going, Escape, Chance, and Old
Dog Tray being next in succession, the others giving up
The Friar led them out of the race course, and increased
his load, Escape, Chance, Ghika, and Maria Agnes,

lying pretty well together in his wake. They were now
hid, and the spectators experienced much curiosity to ascer-
tain how many would be left in the race when they reappeared.
Very few and unimportant changes were made as thelforses
crossed the ploughed land, and got over Beecher's Brook—
now no longer the formidable obstacle of previous years—
without let or hindrance. At the first or second fence be-
yond, for the jockies themselves were doubtful as to the
precise " two of the leaders, the Friar of Apshall
and Chance, came to grief. The Friar, who had held the
lead up to this point, did not like the rails, and, swerving,
ho charged the bank and jumped. on the wrong side of the
flag. Chance, who had been in close attendcnce upombion,
followed his example, and both were consequently out of
the race. The Friar's stable companion, Old Dog Tray,
then went on with the lead. The next mishap befell Ana-

tis, who just before reaching the spot once known= Valen-
tine's Brook blundered into a ditch on to her head, and
came down on her knees, which she cut somewhat severely.
Physician, who was waiting upon her, did nothing to ex-
tricate her from her dilemma. He, however, sustained the
reputation which he has recently acquired in the hunting
field by keeping on his legs, and he only jumped sideways
into the ditch, from which Mr. Edwards brought him
safely and escaped, soiling his jockey costume. These con-
tretemps reduced the field to five, Old Dog Tray, Maria
Agnes, Ghika, Escape, and The Rover. These were not,
however, discerned from the Stand until after they had
come along the canal side, and reached tho last turning
point on to the course, Old Dog Tray still being in front,
closely pursued by Ghika, Maria Agnes and Escape being
just behind them, Old Dog Tray resigned his lead before
coming to the last hurdles, at which both Maria Agnes
and Ghika rose together, Old Dog Tray following closely
in their wake and scattering the timber. The race,
however, from the half distance was reduced to a
matoh between the first two, Maria Agnes waiting
upon Ghika to the Grand Stand, where she took the lead
and won very easily by a length ; a bad third. Eacape was
close up with Old Dog Tray. The Rover was pulled up
after jumping the last hurdles ; the last did not pass the
post. The winner was won at a " toss," her present owner
giving only £lO for her.
