The Column StakeS, of which we for Warded the result
from the Heath, deserves a few additional particulars.
The running was made by Mr. Osbaldeston's filly, 'fcls
lowed by the Alea colt and Economy, Crenohne lying
off; the pace moderately good to the bushes, then became
very fast, and was so well sustained that at the cords
two only were left in the race—Mr. Osbaldeston's filly
and Crenoline. The struggle home was uncommonly
close, Crenoline, who had run a waiting race, and never
got up until the last three strides, winning on the past
by a bead. The Agreeable colt was a middling third,
and the Alea coit, who broke down, a middling fourth.
RACE COURSE, THURSDAY, THREE O'CLOCK.
Of the three races, to which a -miserably pooe list is
confined, two only were decided at the time our parcel
was made up for the last train at llockerill; the third
rests between Colonel Peel's- two, Orlando and Zenebia,
and the Duke of Portland's Manto filly, and is so com-
pletely a "certainty " for the Colonel as to render it un-
necessary to forward an expres throughout. The first
race excited great interest, hot from its intrinsic filtie
or importance, but from the additional line it was cabal-
feted to give of one of the Derby cracks, De'apre.
