Blueskin and Manoeuvre filly, 6 to 1 against Slanderer, 8 to
1 against Beauclerk, 100 to 8 each against Maid of Kent
gelding, Miss Sarah colt, and The Peer. An excellent start
was effected at the first attempt, Wellow cutting out the
work, having, however, only a slight lead of a body of
horses forming a lino across the course, comprising Beau-
clerk 'and Handsome Jack on the upper ground, the Miss
Sarah colt, Blueskin, and Montagnard in the centre,
Nyanza and the Maid of Kent gelding heading the others,
who followed in a cluster for about a hundred yards, when
the pace at which they came across the flat began to tell,
and The Peer and the Manoeuvre filly dropped right away
into the roar, and were hopelessly settled before the Bushes
Hill was reached. But little change occurred in the posi-
tions of the leading division until rising the ascent at the
turn of the Lands, when Wellow dropped back, and Hand-
some Jack was left with the lead, Beauclerk, Blueskin,
Nyanza, and Montagnard being in close attendance,
and just in advance of Guy of Warwick and Lais on the
lower ground, the Miss Sarah colt being well up wide
on the right. When fairly in the straight Handsome Jack
gave way, and Blueskin immediately took up the running,
having a clear advantage on reaching the site of the old
Duke's stand. When fairly in the rails Montagnard pressed
closely upon Blueskin, but Huxtable waited his time with
the "Frenchman," and, heading the Metropolitan winner
at the commencement of the stand enclosure, won, after a
fine race, by a neck. Guy of Warwick raced home with
Nyanza for third place, which the first named obtained by
about half a length, but " The Guy" was a bad third. The
Miss Sarah colt was fifth, Beauclerk sixth, and Slanderer
seventh. Then came the Maid of Kent gelding, Handsome
Jack, Prince Regent, and Wellow, who finished in a cluster
in tho order named. Fully 150 yards in the rear were The
Peer and the Manoeuvre filly, the latter cantering in some
distance in rear of Lord Stamford's horse.
