Charley which would render him a formid-
able rival. Christmas Carol improved as
much SIS much as Longdown was depreci-
sted IN close scqusiRtsnoe. 1t was known
by this time that Mr.. Jsckson's horse Ju-
pitsr would not be q competitor; all the
others, however, were starters, and 3 new
horse Kate Hampton, was added TO the hs5
thereby completing the original number q
thirty. Leaving the paddock, the horses
came in front of the grand stand
for their preliminary eAnteE.5a Among

by his appearance. There were some, OF
course, among the crowd, who, having
backed particular horses, concentrated
their attention on them but the great
mass OF the spectators had eyes or ears for
nothing except the two horses accepted a
representatives of the two nations. The
eanter up hill showed 8 slight but still q
decided advantage of temper On the side of
the French horse. G~rimshsw, his jockey,
WAS converting with somebody, when LIE

will BreadAlbsne, on the contrary, when
bis time came, threw back his ears, and
was 8 second or two in setting into his
stride. The csnter down the hill was still
mole decidedly in favor of the French
horse. His action throughout was smooth
and regular and sweeping, and most per-
Sons made up their minds there and then
se to the probable result of race. The
starting was attended with. q onsidersble
amount of vexstion, and with eae unfor-
tunste accident, Sharpe, the rider of Mr..
Whites Soker being thrown from his seat
and so much injured that, although he was
able to rise from the ground, he did not
attempt to take part in the race, and the
horse was accordingly led back 70 the pad
dock. Cd
at last, Just as the clock was about to
stIiKe4 4, the horses got away together, and
till the sscent or first half mile had been
trsversed, there was not 8 symptom oflsg-
ging on the part of any. Round the corner
they swept at q tremendous psce, and then
one dropped back a little, and q knot of
four or five stood out q length in advance.
There we're fewer dark coloIs than usual in
the group, and consequently 1t was not
easy to distinguish the position -ofa the
favoIiUes but as there we're two or three
patches of red well TO the front, and as
GIsdisteur's jockey wore red sleeves and
esp, while Bre~adzlbsne's colors we're "Al
rose" the excitement grew absolutely
feverish. In the straight "a home, none
of the familiar colors occupied the ex-
pected position; and until just touching
the grand staId, Chris mas Carol and
Ethan, running their very best appeared
TO have matters their own way. The width
Of theg grand stand, however, determined the
race. With 3 sudden rush Glsdlsteur dis
eDtsngled himself from the knot Of horses
that concealed him from view; passing
frat one, then another, and finally drew
abreast of the leader himself. Gdmshsw
seemed TO expect thst he would have. to
rush for it against Christmas Carol, aud in
that expectation raised his whip and gave
one stroke 10 the fsvoTite, who responded
with q stride that, despite previous per-
formsncss, scented almost supernatural.
Christmas Carol, on the contrary, WAS
capable of maintaining his pace put no
mere, and Giadizteur accordingly shOt in
an easy winner by 8 couple 81 lengths.

The sensation produced WHEN it was
known that the French horse had sctuslly
won, wss something indiscribable. The
barriers burst like so many cO6Webs,! and
fully half the spectators present Aocked on
70 the race course, so that from the pad
dock we'll nigh to Tsttenham corner there
was one dense, swsrming, excited mass of
humanity. The utmost efforts of the
police with difficulty sUfieed TO clesr and
keep the space requisite for unssddling,
and, although there appeared TO be no
visible need Tor the precaution, Glsdisteur
was escorted into The area by 3 force of
mounted coustsbulsry. His jockey WAS
repeatedly and very cordially cheere1, and
the friends of Count dc Lagrange applaud
ed sgsin and again.
The time occupied in running the race
was taken by Benson's marking chrome

occasions as an infallible record, and was
found to be two minutes and fcrty I've
