Jolly. Beggar got ,away with the leaders. He remained in front, except when Nuwara Eliva challenged half a mile from home;',.; jolly -Beggar, however, :shook the >grey horse off, and, going nice:ly,V'woli« a .good ' race from a , bunched crowd. -'■ Seafcond-nle was prominent among tho second division, and finished ninth; As anticipated, Wolanva (after Cider's .withdrawal) had little trouble iu winning 'the St. Leger.
