Lord Geo. Bentinck declared to win with Firebrand.
After four failures, in one of which Ma Mie reared up and
threw her jock, a fair start was effected, Topsail taking the
lead at a good pace, followed by the Amima filly, Dilbar,
Firebrand, Coral, the Fury filly, and two or three others, the
others lying well up with the exception of lole, the Baleine
filly and Utopia, who were beaten early. Topsail gave way
near the turn, and the running was taken up by Firebrand,
the Amima filly and Coral waiting on her, when the Fury
filly, Dilbar, Meal, Ma Mie, and Lucy Banks at their heels;
in making the turn Dilbar ran out, and lost her chance, if
chance she had ; the others went on to the distance, where
the Fury filly, a la Attila, went to the front, headed Fire-
brand instanter, and went in a very clever winner by a
length. Meal laid in the rear in the early part of the race,
approached the front after crossing the last road, caught
Firebrand at the stand, and defeated her for the second
money by about a length. Ma Mie also waited, came from
the distance, and followed Firebrand past the chair. Coral
and Lucy Banks were fifth and sixth • and after them came
the ruck. Lord Jersey's mare coughed repeatedly before
starting • nor was the Balcine filly at all up to the mark.
