borough was imported to this country from Eng
land by Mr.. RICHARDS, and got by StockweI,
the sire of St Adams, the winner of the Doncaster

ones that Hillsborough was not in tx and great
odds, as much as fourtO one, were offered against
him, all of which were taken by his hackers.
AT the signal, the two got OFF pretty well together
the FLY taking the lead and maintaining it. notwlth-
standing the gallant efforts of the colt to close the
gap. He held his own, however and as the turn
