The GREAT RACE IN ENGLAND. -z1iunaph
Of Prioress.-We learn by the arrival of the
Baltic that at the Newmarket races in England
the Cesarewitch stakes, worth $4,000, wereNA
in gallant style by the American mare Prioress
over thirty. competitors. Very heavy bets had
been made against her previous to the day of
contest The well known horse Lecompte, also
the property Of Mr.. Ten Brock, died suddenly
of Colic Pryor has been ruled off from all his
engagements for the season. The English pa
pers have the following account Of the race:
The flag was dropped to beautiful start
Dusty Miller bore his colors to the 'front.' with
Queen Bess, Cerva NJ Dobler and the Plush
Trick, Fright, Emulator, Zigzag, Warlock, Pri-
Dress and Poodle lying in the middle of the ruck.
These positions were unchanged until reaching
the Ditch, when Cerva rushed to the front,
Queen Bess being in close attendance upon her,
with Odd Trick third, Emulator, Ell Hakim,
Prioress, Fright, Zigzag, Warlock and the Plush
colt, forming the next lot.
At the Bushes the pace began to tell, and
Warlock, Plush colt and Poodle dropped back,
and Cerva resigned the lead to Queen Bess As
they descended the hill Odd Trick, Emulator
and Ngzag also disappeared from the 'front.'
On approaching the cords Queen Bess, with Ell
Hakim at her neck, still held slight lead, with
Prioress running by herself on the far side third
Fright, Egzag, Warloek and Emulator showing
in front of the ruck. One Of the most exciting
Cesarewitch finishes ever seen then ensued.-
Prioress, half way up the cords, seemed to be a.
bout coming in alone but the tiny Jockeys Of
Ell Hakim and Queen Bess made determined
set-to, and the Judge unable to separate the first
three pronounced dead heat with Prioress,
Queen Bess and Ell Hakim. Fright was next,
about length and half behind them Egzag
was fifth, about a length in advance of Warlock,
who was sixth, and Martinez seventh Emulator
and Saunterer headed the next lot that struggled
in. In the extreme rear, pulled up, were st.
Giles, Wild Honey, Poodle, Fisherman, Black
Tommy and the Poacher.
Deciding Heat.-Mr. R. Ten Broeck's Prior
ess, by Sovereign, (bred in America,) years,
est. 9lb., (Fordham) 1; Capt. Smiths Ell Hakim,
years, est. 9lb., (Bray,) 2; Mr.. Saxons Queen
Bess, years, 4st. 10lb., (Grimsby,) 8.
Betting-5 to 4 against Ell Hakim; 2 to l a.
gainst Prioress, and to against Queen Bess.
The cheat was run after the last race, in deep
ening twilight, which rendered it impossible to
distinguish the colors of the riders at distance.
Ell Hakim was first off, but after going about
fifty yards, Prioress, overpowering Fordham,
rushed to the front and carried on the running
to the Ditch gap, where she was pulled back, and
lay about three lengths in the rear, Queen Bess
going on with the lead, closely attended by E]
Hakim. On coming dozen the Bushes Hill, Pri-
Dress hang to the left, and shout acas raised Of
"The Anerica,s's beaten :" bat F5rdham reused
the mare aoith has aohip, and before reaching TIKI
foot Of the hill she bore her co1ors IN adoa''ce, and
quitting her opponents halt ecoy up the cords, 'oor
clererly By length and hat; Ell Hakim beat.
4 loud and prolonged cheer hailed the triumph
of the american cozors, and Mr.. Ten Brock was
warmly congratulated upon the first victory a
chieved by him in England.
