The appearance of the 45 fine competitors as they were
seen on the brow of the hill, with the sun shining on their
variegated colours, was most imposing. With little or no
loss of time, considering the difficulty of getting so large a
field of horses together, Mr. M'George despatched them
from the post, and when they had got fairly into their places
rising the hill the line extended entirely across the course.
Billy Dwindles, having a slight lead, made the running,
with Croagh Patrick, La Vapeur, Man-at-Arms, Umpire,
Nativity, Vergiss-mein-nicht, Restes, and Waterwitch
forming the front division, the others being headed by Ris-
ing Sun, Lava, Sherborne, Knight of St. Patrick, and
Crater. In this way they ran, as nearly as we could make
out, to the distance, where Billy Dwindles was beaten, and
gave way to Croagh Patrickovho, with Man-at-Arms, La
Vapeur, Sir William, and Cosmopolite closely laid up, car-
ried on the running to the entrance of the lawn enclosure,
where the leading horses were joined by the Knight of St.
Patrick and Rising Sun. On reaching the stand Croagh
Patrick, Man-at-Arms, and Lord Exeter's colt singled them-
selves out and run a close and exciting race home, the for-
mer winning cleverly by a neck, Man-at-Arms securing the
second honours by half a length from Knight of St. Patrick.
Rising Sun was fourth, Cosmopolite and Sir 'William fifth
and sixth, side by side, Lava, and La Vapeur finishing the
next two. The remainder were pulling up as they passed the
post, the last of whom was Thunderbolt, Waterwitch, Ver-
giss-mein-nicht, General Hesse, and Sporting Life, the for-
mer of whom pulled up lame, and the latter did not pass the
post.
