FROM THE START TO TATTENHAa CORNER.
In their preliminary canters Pretender, Pero
Gomez and Belladrum were, naturally enough, the
observed Of ali Observers and OF the lot Mr. Merry's
horse was by far the most popular and was received
with loud cheers as he went down the course. At
twenty minutes past three they put themselves In
the hands OF Mr.. McGeorge the starter who sent
them or al the second attempt. For few strides
The Drummer held slight lead, but soon as they
had settled down Neuchatel took up the running fol-
lowed by Lord Hawthorn, both making pace for
their stable companions Close up were Thorwald-
sen and Border Knight, at whose Quarters Law Tie
Drummer and Pero Gomez Pretender and Bella
drum were among the rear lot. They went for half
a mile without any material alteration, except that
ran through and joined the leading divi-
sion. The pace was hitherto very slow, but at the
mile post Hudson sent along Lord Hawthorn and
lengths In front or Pretender Ryshworth, The
Kgesn, Perry Down, The Drummer, Duke Of Beau

through the 'furze," Ethus dropped away into the
rear with Beadrun and this PAIR at the Top OF the

their chance. AZ this point great change took

earnest, and the field presented long line. Ladas
and Tenedos were toillng heavily along; Neuchatel
soon disappeared from the front and the lead was
then left with Lord Hawthorn.

The leaders had now reached the famous corner

scrimmage actually did occur; for Thorwaldsen
nearly came down. and, TO avoid collision, Wells
was compelled to pull Pero Gomez right out OF his
track and thread his way into the straight on the
outside. This accident caused q great deal of CON
fusion; but when matters were again put right 1t
was found that Lord Hawthorn had retired and
