and the others in place; they
kept precisely in the same form, making good running, and
all keeping well up until within half a mile of home, when
the Duport filly (rode by Garbutt) made to the front, and
challenged the Abbot; this, however, was a momentary

displayed by Nicholson in ridrOg the winner ; lie kept her

his mare in reserve tiff the moment nriverl, he wee the
race ; a different style woold, no doubt, have been attended
with different conseassences.

Betting 6t04 ou btotfortit. This was a neck and neat
affair in almost every serve of the word. The betting for
a long time was at evens, and it was not till just before
starting that the odds got on Stafford]. They came off
abreast at a tremendo'ie racing pace, and kept to it hear,
and head, it being either's race till the last stride, when.
Scott managed to bring Netherby's head in front, and by
that only did he win. Templeman rode the loser.

Mr. Crompton's ch. c. by Whisker—Marion .... , :-,'
This may justly be termed "a race extraordinary, oe a
real tailed-out race,"-7 to 4, on Velocipede and no takers,
or at least but few. At starting a jumped Coulon in
front, but Velocipede instantly made a rush and got the
lead, which he kept at very strong running ; the rest of
the race was highly amusing. Velocipede and the others
kept mending their speed every stride, working away as
! hard as they could, only to make the distance between
them and Velocipede the greater ; we shall render further
description superfluous, by stating that Velocipede won by
about One Hundred Yards-4,ord Scarborough being many
yards behind the second boese—Coulou about sixty yards
behind Lord Scarborough, and Marion fifty or sixty yards
behind Coulon ! ! and it should he added that all the Watell
horses did their beat, and came iu distressed; while Velo-
cipede had not a hair disturbed. The inference to be
drawn from this running is—either that Velocipede is an
Eclipse, or that the others are very bad indeed. The
Icaowieg ones have won a large stake, besides being heavy
on time for the Great St. Leger, the betting for which will
of coarse be materially affected. The winner was rode by
W. Scott, Viscount by Lye, Catton colt by Nelson, Coulon
by Goodison, and Marion, by Garbutt.
The Sapling Stakes, of 50 soya. each, h. ft. fur fillies, Sst.

7 to 1 on the winner, who went off at a steady pace,
which he mended when he got to the wood; there the
other two had a shy at her for the lead, but without 6a c-

place.—Lye rode the winner, Garbutt. Mr. Uppleby's, and
