From the extraordinary circumstanccg which attended
the running for the Plate on 'Tuesday, a few additional
particulars will not be ill-timed. His Mitjesty's horse
Mortgage, Lord Cleveland's Memnon, and Mt,. Wyndham's
Black Swan, were entered to run for it, burl Memnon
having been drawn, Mortgage stood very high in the bet-
ting, and was backed at '7 to 4 agst Black Swan. At
starting, they went at a fair four-mile pace, Mortgage.
leading ; they had not proceeded above thirty yards, wheat
the Swan became flighty, turned +O. the
_right, and bolted
into the road, es if bent for Cambridge to take his last
degree, contrary to the general practice of high mettled
ones, who frequently begin there, and finfs72, at Newmar-
ket. Without noticing this freak, the King's horse pur-
,ued his route,• and came in solar, to the utter astonish-
ment of the many, and the dismay of a select few, who,
had backed the absentee. The race was of course consi-
dered as decided, but such was not the fact, far after the
next match, and when the horses had been sent a distance
of five miles to their stables, it turned out that they had
made a false start, and they must run for the Plate a se-
cond time ; -they were, therefore, fetched, while the other
matches were being run, and at the conclusion of the
other races were again started for a fonr-mile race. Mort-
gage was still the favourite at 7 to 4, and he fully justified
the high opinion entertained of him, by leading through-
out, and winning cleverly by ten lengths It is singular
that Robinson, who rode Mortgage, should not have found
out that he had no competitor. Paris rode the Black
Swan, and did all that first-rate jockeyship could effect.
This unlooked-for occurrence occasioned. some excitement,
and made the races later than usual.
