THE CUP.
LATEST PARTICULARS.
The late hour at which the race came off prevented our ob-
taining the particulars of the running in time to forward
them with the result. The start took place in a heavy
shower, at a quarter-past four, Semiseria taking the lead at
a great pace, followed by Beatrice, Strathspey, Ould Ireland,
Queen of the Tyne, Trueboy, and several others; Sorella,
Fitzallen (both of whom lost start), and St. Lawrence bring-
up the rear. Fitzallen was not long in joining the first ruck,
which in other respects remained as it commenced to the
,Shipe-,yard
retpuirdnwianitiig thel second round; here Semiseria was
beaten ; Beatrice resigned immediately after, and the lead
was left jointly in possession of Fitzallen and Queen of the

save way at the bottom of the course, and Intrepid going up,
took the lead from Fitzallen half a mile from home, increased
it as he went, and won easily by three lengths. Fitzallen was
beaten at the Castle Pole and fell back, and in his retreat
swerved against St. Lawrence who was then following, Mil-
ton, forced him out of his stride, and, no doubt; lost him a
length or two ; nevertheless he caught Milton inside the dis-
tance, and beat him easily for second place. Fitzallen was a
bad fourth, and everything else beaten off. Cataract, who
was evidently lame before starting, never showed in the race.
In the evening Mr. Gully objected to the winner, on the
ground that he is thorough bred, and the stakes are withheld.

THE FUGITIVE FROM ETON.—Master E. P.
Fletcher, the young gentleman who ran away from Eton, has, at
length, been heard of at Ross, in Herefordshire. An old nurse
of the family it seems lived in that town, and to her he made his
way, after arriving at Bristol by the night-train from Slough. His
clothes were sent for from the dames three or four days ago, and
it is not expected that he will return to Eton.
