Betting - 7 to 1 agst Chimney Sweep, 8 to 1 each agst
Moose and Fan, 9 to 1 agst The Lamb, 10 to 1 agst Pearl
Diver, 11 to 1 agst Daisy, 12 to 1 agst Helen, 16 to 1 each
agst Alcibiade and Huntsman's Daughter, 20 to agst The
Nun, 30 to 1 each agst Garus and Astrolabe, 100 to 3 agst
Captain Crosstree, 40 to 1 each agst Buszko and Thalas-
sins, 50 tc 1 each agst Plover, Hall Court, and Hove
Came, and 6G to 1 agst Charming Woman. The usual
amount of curiosity and excitement was displayed by the
partisans of the several competitors and the general mul-
titude to witness the preliminary canter; which Garus
led. The favourite naturally attracted the greatest share
of attention, but the condition and style of going of
each of the horses were criticised in turn, and the univer-
sal impression appeared to be that a field of more than ave-
rage merit was about to contestthegreat prize. The canters
taken, the horses were then paraded past the stand, Helen
showing the way. Thence they were conducted to the
starting post, which they reached in excellent time. A
good start was effected at the first attempt, Garus getting
away with a slight lead of Huntsman's Daughter, Captain
Crosstree, The Lamb, Mentmore, and Charming Woman ;
Alcibiade, Slieve Came, Chimney Sweep, and Daisy fol-
lowing next in a cluster, while Thalasius headed the re-
mainder—Fan, Buszke, and Kingswood being in the ex-
treme rear. They had scarcely settled in theirplaces, and
had only in fact reached the lane, when Chimney Sweep
trod on a large stone that lay in the course, and in conse-
quence fell and broke his leg. This accident caused im-
mense excitement and consternation to prevail in the
Stand, from which point Adams, the jockey, was seen first
to vault out of the saddle and next to return to the enclo-
sure on foot. So serious was the injury sustained by
Chimney Sweep that Lord Coventry, to end the horse's
sufferings, ordered him to be shot, and this was immedi-
ately done. Toreturn to the race, at the first fence Slieve
Came refused, the remainder negociated the second
fence, but at the obstacle immediately preceding Beecher's
brook Fan and Charming Woman refused; and their
chances being thus extinguished, they wore not further
persevered with. Before Beecher's brook bad been actually
reached Captain Crosstree deprived Garus of the command.
At the brook itself the last-named refused, while Ment-
more, Thalassius, and Buszke, in endeavouring to take the
leap, fell ; and of this lot the latter only was persevered
with. The field now became widely scattered, with Capt.
Orosstree leading by six lengths. No casualty occurred
at Valentine's brook, nor did any alteration take place in
the positions previously indicated. At the table-jump into
the course, Alcibiade and Helen drew forward, Moose,
Huntsman's Daughter, and the Nun being some distance
in the rear. At the hurdle; just before reaching the stand,
Captain Crosstree ran up to Alcibiade, and got over first.
Pearl Diver running up lea the way over the water; The
Lamb, Captain Crosstree, Daisy, Huntsman's Daughter,
Alcibiade, Moose, and Helen following in the order named.
The Nun, who was several lengths behind, came down
at this point, and, throwing Wheeler, broke away, rider-
less. Following her came Buszke, Astrolabe, and The
Plover, Kingswood, some distance behind the latter,
jumping into the middle of the water. All got over the
fence past Beecher's brook, and Alcibiade was now seen to
take up the running, The Lamb and Captain Crosstree
close up, Pearl Diver and Moose next; Alcibiade, however,
soon gave way under the weight, and CaptainOrosstree re-
assumed the lead on the return home, The Lamb, Pearl
Diver, and Alcibisde following clasely in the wake. At
Valentine's brook Daisy was dead beaten, and the jockey
had some trouble to got him over, while Buszke tired in
the ploughed land and was pulled up. No change oc-
curred in the positions of the leaders till reaching the table
jump the second time. Here Captain Crosstree refused,
but was soon righted; but Moose retired beaten. On
gaining tho course the issue was left to Tho Lamb and
Pearl Diver - the two coming on neck and neck to the
first hurdles, which they charged together. At the last
hurdles neither had the slightest advantage over the other,
and it looked as though either might win. Both were
ridden with great determination, but Pearl Diver being
settled opposite the stand The Lamb drew away and won
by two lengths; ten lengths between second and third
and three lengths between third and fourth ; Astrolabe
and Helen, beaten a distance, walked in next. Hall Court,
Moose, Huntsman's Daughter, Mentmore, Daisy, and
Buszke walked in, but none of them passed the post. The
pace was good throughout.
