took the lead, and jumped the brook just in advance of
Hornet, Tiger, King Arthur, and Gelert. Before reaching
the stand, Captain Crosstree took up the running, followed
by Alcibiade, The Lamb, Doctor, and Hornet. At the
head of the remainder were The Nun, Emperor 111., and
Musketeer, Alcibiade now whipping in. Gelert was beaten
at the next fence, and was pulled up. Approaching the
farm house the favourite retired from the van, and joined
Albrighton and Alcibiade in the rear, and Emperor
drew up to Captain Crosstree and headed him on reaching
the starting field, jumping out of which, however, he gave
way to Tiger, and with the exception of the Doctor and
Alcibiade, the lot took close order. Making for the mea-
dows, Captain Crosstree and Tiger led alternately, and
Daisy joined Hornet, who was at this point lying with

place, Musketeer simultaneously improving his position.

peror 111. took up the running, The Robber going

keteer, The Nun, Tiger, King Arthur, The Lamb,
Albrighton, Hornet, and The Doctor, who were all to-
gether. Emperor 111. fell at the last jump but ono, at
which obstacle The Doctor also came down. The Robber
was left with the lead, but at the last fence the latter fell,
and Musketeer at the same time jumped into a " grip,'
breaking his back, and rendering his immediate destruc-
tion necessary. The favourite then took the lead, but
Albrighton passed him after entering the straight, and
won in a canter by four lengths. King Arthur, six lengths
in rear of The Doctor, was third, and Tiger, a length ofi,
fourth. The Lamb, The Nun, Alcibiado, Emperor 111.

Bond was in treaty for the purchase the negotiation was
not completed.
The objections to Cotswold in the Hunters' Plate, at
Brackley, aro withdrawn, and the stewards disqualify the
second horse for not producing a hunting certificate at the
scales. .
