Colonel North's be Itoyal Harry, by Itilwarlin — Sultana (Bradford) - Never for a moment was the strong position of favouritism, to which Isinglass was by right entitled, ever shaken, and at the finish 95 to 40 was laid on his chance. At the last moment Irish Wake wis second favourite it 100 to 7. and William coining to 100 to 0 passed Itaeburii and Dame President, who finished at, -in to 1 each, and ltaveiishury, against whose chance 2;'> to 1 was finally tendered. Directly the Hag full Lord William rushed to the front, and getting a stnn.g pace rushed up the hill, well clear of the nearest of his rivals. (joint; through the furzes be increased bis lead, but as they raced pant the. six-furlong starting post, William, Isinglass, and Itaehui-n rapidly decreased the rap, and half-way down tin? hill Itaehiirn strode to the front and came dashing along, hotly pursued by Isinglass, Itoyal Harry, and William (who was now b. aten), with Irish Wake and Son of a Gun at the head of the others. Half way down the hill ltavcnsbury, who had been bringing up the rear, began to improve his position. Still he was not near the division when after rounding Pattenham Corner Isinglass, shooting up on tin? inside, turned for home with ' very slight lead of Raeburn, with Royal Harry, Peppercorn, Son of a tinn, and Ravenslmry, now heading the others, who wore all hopelessly beaten. Once the line for homo was reached the battle for supremacy between Isinglass and Kaeliurn win so keen that the spectators had eyes for nothing else, and when Uaeburn, with a splendid challenge, appeared to wrest the lead from Isinglass, a mighty .shout of "the favourite's beat!" went up from the ring. Probably the wish was father to the thought of those who hailed in anticipation the defeat of the lavourite, for when at the crucial point of the race T. Loates called upon his charge for i supreme effort, Isinglass responded readily and gamely. Whilst all attention had been centred on tho struggle between this pair Ravenslmry had gradually forged his way into third place, and, to add to the excitement, he was seen to be gaining upon the leaders at every stride. Opposite the number-hoard he had caught up with Kichurn, and, heading him about 100 yards from home, he went on in resolute pursuit of tho favourite. But the effort, though game, was unavailing, as Isinglass, running stoutly to the end, maintained the lead, anil pissed the post a winner by a length and a-half, with Raebnrn third, two lengths further in the rear. Never did public form receive a more triumphant vindication, as not only were the placing* the same as in tho Two Thousand Guineas, but the three colts showed that increasing age had not altered their respective merits, as they virtually tinished as far apart as when Isinglass won the Middle Park Plate, ami JUe Nicham finished third to Kavensbury, kept Raeburu out of a place. It was a great victory, but it was by no means so easily gained as the former triumphs of Isinglass, as he for the first time tasted punishment. The journey occupied 2ui. 485., and the value of the .stakes was £5400.
