Betting : 9 to 2 agst Tha Lombard, 5 to 1 Victor Wild, Clorane and Whittier, 100 to 8 Missal and The Tup.

The symmetry of the starb was alono spoilt by the loss of advantage on the part of Coy 1 ton, and the first to strike the ground were Court Ball, The Tup, and Clorane. They almost instantly resigned to Kilcock, who made running on the outside from Missal, The Tnp, and Americus, with Clorane and Palavever settling down the last two independently of Coylton. They proceeded in this order for nearly thvee furlongs, when The Tup .drew up to and slightly headed Kilcock, Missal going on third from Court Ball, Victor Wild (on the outside), Dornroschen, ■ and The Lombard, the next batch being \ composed of Saiiit Noel, Whittier, and Cloranß. Soon after rounding the bend Kilcock resumed the command, and they were followed by Court Ball, The Lombard, and Victor Wild, a gap dividing these from Dornroschen and Saint Noel. Soon after wards Clorane made an unsuccessful effort to join the leaders, while Whittier had never once looked dangerous, although he was straggling on. By this time Court Ball was in difficulties, and below the distams Victor Wild had challenged Kilcock, with The Tup holding on in pursuit and The Lombard somewhat hampered between the last-mentioned pair. For the remainder of the journey the fight was of a very exciting character, and if more than once the weight threatened to stop Victor Wild, he persevered in bull-dog fashion, and with his head in front for the last two hundred yards, won by three parts of a length. In the last two or threa strides The Lombard secured third place as far behind Kilcock and a neck in advance of The Tup, with Saint Noel a bad lifth, Clorane sixth, Dornroschen seventh, Whittier eighth, Court Ball ninth, La Sagesse tenth, Coylton eleventh, Americus twelfth, Palaverer thirteenth* Avilion fourteenth, and Missal the absolute last. Time by Benson's chronograph, lmin 41 3.ssec. Value of the stakes, £2650.
