Betting : 7 to 2 agst Quarrel, 5 to 1 Gazetteer, 100 to 14 The Tup and The Quack. Half up the hill The Quack, Literature, and Symington were in difficulties, and Utica at once drew into fourth place behind Quarrel, The Tup, and Gazetteer. Of these the last mentioned became the immediate attendant of Quarrel below the distance, but when called upon for a final effort he ran away from the whip which enabled the favourite to hold his own without any pressure and win easily by half a length. The Tup lost second place by three parts of a length, with Utica fourth, Symington fifth, The Quack sixth, Literature seventh, and Amberite eighth.

I The lot had taken close order before reaching the Brick-kilns, and with Love Wisely rounding the bend at the girths of Omnium 11., Sir Vieto, Florizel XL, and Victor Wild were also close up, leaving Laodamia well astern. A quarter of a mile from home Love Wisely deprived Omnium 11. of the J command, and they were then just clear of i Sir Vieto, Victor Wild, and Florizel 11., of whom the favourite had shown sign* of faltering at the foot of the hill. Aβ, therefore, Love "Wisely drew away from Omnium IL in gradual fashion, Victor Wild was unable to keep up the extra pressure, and sharing the retreat of Sir Visto, he left the pursuit of Love Wisely to Omnium 11. and Florizel IL from the distance. In both instances it proved ineffectual, as Love Wisely held on stoutly to the end and won by two lengths, Florizel IL losing second place to the Frenchman by « head. Laodamia was fourth from Victor Wild, who pulled up bo l*g weary as to lead to tbe belief that he <h»d broken down, although he walked away perfectly sound.
