Edwards) 0 Betting-6 to 4on Deception, 9to 1 agst The Dolphin (all sorts of_prices were laid, from 25 up to 8 to 1), 9 to 1 agst Sir G. Heathcote's two, 10 to 1 agst Hesione, 11 to 1 agst The Shadow, and 25 to 1 agst Reel. At twenty minutes before three the start took place without a blunder, and the race was run in so old-fashioned a style that the task of describing it becomes easy. Deception took the lead, with Hesione for a second, and Louisa, the Dolphin, and Reel, closely laid up ; they kept this order to the top of the hill, where Reel dropped off, and tailing began. In commencing the turn Louisa was second, and the Dolphin third, and they went so to the straight running, where Dolphin took a position next to Deception, which she gave up to Carolina after crossing the road, Louisa repassing The Dolphin at the dislance. No other change took place. Deception, without ever having been headed, won in a canter by two legths ; the same space separating Sir G. Heathcote's mare from Louisa, who was three or'four lengths in advance of the rest, having, as her venerable owner anticipated, beat all the Newmarket public runners ; his own defeat was received from mares, of which her trainer could have no measure. The Dolphin was fourth, and La Belezza fifth, Reel And the Sister to Hector were last. The winner has thus shown extraordinary stoutness, and cannot fail to make Defence one of the most popular Mons of the day ;he has the Whalebone blood to recommend him, and his stock are especially recommended by size, power, and honesty.
