After twenty minutes' delay the signal was given, but the start was anything but a good one, Sabreur having an advantage of several lengths, whilst the Wizard, Wallace, Winton, and Stampedo were a length or two in the rear, the latter, whose unwillingness to join his horses was the chief cause of the delay, being the last off. Going away at score, Sabreur had soon a commanding lead, followed for the first quarter of a mile by Umpire (inside), St. Albans, King of Diamonds, and The Rap, when Sweetsauce ran through his horses, and depriving Sabreur of the lead, carried on the running over the hill, at the foot of which he dropped behind Sabreur, who, on reappearing in sight, was two clear lengths first. At a wider interval from Lord Annesley's horse followed Umpire, St. Albans, King of Diamonds, and Thormanby, the latter of whom joined the others at the mile post, after passing whioh Buccaneor overpowered Goater, and took his place on the outsido of tho favourite. The Rap beat a retreat before reaching the rifle butt, at which point High Treason lay in about the middle of the ruck, in company with Stampedo, the rear lot now consisting of The Wizard, The Rap, Winton, Cainbondo, Cramond, and Wallace, all of which, except the first-named, were tailed off at the Red House. Stampedo was going remarkably well up to this f joint, when he suddenly atopped at tho place where ie had been in the habit of walking about for an hour each morning, and refused to go any further .' After rounding the Red House turn, the second division closed up into a very compact body, and the pace increasing, if anything the gaps between Sabreur and Sweetsauce, and the latter and the main body lessened at every stride. After crossing the road, Umpire went up to Sabreur's head, and Sweetsauco was paused hy Thormanby and St. Albans, which drew up on the right of the American, closely followed by King of Diamonds^ next the rails. Buccaneer gave way before reaohing the bend, and the The Wizard, taking Sweetsauce's place, came up on the outside at tliat point, pulling double, whilst High Treason followed in the track of the Baron's horse, between which and the rails he attempted to go up, but was disappointed through Grimshaw declining to pull out, owing to his own horse not being " done with." After Umpire joined Sabreur, the two ran locked together rouudthe bend, when the Yankee took a slight lead of Lord Zetland's horse, which began to exhibit the effects of his own " cutting down" exertions, and before reaclung the distance Thormanby also held out signals of distress. The next to give" way almost immediately was Umpire, which suddenly compounded when collared by The Wizard, which came up on the right, looking most formidable until Snowden sent out St. Albanß with a rush between Thormanby and Umpire, when the race was over ; for although Bullock, after lus previous disappointment, had to go round hiß horses inside the distance, whereby he lost much ground, and was a second time nearly shut in, came with a tremendous rush on High Treason at last, and secured the second money by a neck from The Wizard, he was unable to reach St. Albans, whioh won with great ease by a length and a-half, Sabreur finishing two lengths from The Wizard, about a neck in advance of Thormanby, which was nearly two lengths before Umpire, Kingj of Diamonds being seventh, close up with Mr. Ten Broeck's horse. The next lot, separated by a wide interval, were Sweetsauce, Cramond, and Wallace, which passed the poßt in the order named, the " tail " comprising Wiuton, Buccaneer, Cambondo, and Stampedo, none of which passed the post. Winton pulled up short, just opposite the entrance gate to the molosure, and Cambondo and Stampedo walked in, the latter being escorted from the bend by the mob, who rushed into the course as Boon as the main body of hones passed. Run in 3 mm. 20 sec. Nett value of the stake, £4,075. Description of the Winner.— St. Albans is a rich dark-coloured chesnut horse, with a white blaze in his face, and two white heels behind.

Vanquisher went off with a long lead, Coronet lying second, Wild Rose and Mouravieff next, Thormanby last. Passing the stand enclosure Vanquisher increased his lead to about ten lengths, Mouravieff depriving Wild Rose of the second place on going round the top turn with Sabreur close up, Thormanby still " whipping in." At the Bawtry turn, Thormanby went up to his horses, and Coronet compounding, was pulled up, and took no further part in the race. On coming into sight, Mouravieff was leading, attended by Vanquisher and Wild Rose, Sabreur next, and Thormanby again many lengths in the rear. At the Red House Wild Rose was beaten, Sabreur taking up the running ; Thormanby, who came with a rush, taking second place at the turn entering the straight. There the race was left to Mr. Merry and Lord Zetlands, representatives, Sabreur winning, after an exciting set-to, by three lengths.
