Several bets were laid against The Great Mogul at 5
and 6 to 4, the ring, for want of a telegraph (an improve-
ment to be found on almost every course in the kingdom
but Newmarket), being in ignorance, to the last, that no
jockey had weighed for him.
The filly had all the best of the race to the cords, but
ran unkindly, swerved from an injudicious use of the
whip about 20 yards from home, and was caught on the
post, the judge giving it a dead heat. Lord Albemarle
and Mr. Deakins afterwards agreed to divide the stakes
(5 sovs., subject to deductions), and Alexandrina walked
over.
