The flag fell at the first attempt to an excel-, lent start, in which Eglamore out out the work from Lovegold for a quarter of a mile, when the latter lost; his place, and Eiridspord' went> on. second from Florentine and Enterprise. The^e were then just clear of Grandison, Lovegold, and Hugo, with Phil bringing up the rear. The pace was only moderate, and before the completion of the first half of the journey Eiridspord drew up to the neck of Eglamore, the pair' being then pursued by Florentine' and Enterprise to the Bushes where they got rid pf Grandison. In descending the hill Hugo and Florentine hung out signals of distress, and When Eiridspord had shot his bolt in the Abingdon Mile Bottom, Enterprise pulled his way- nearly level 'with Eglamore. At the same time Phil, who nad changed sides, worked into third place, and' no sooner had Enterprise drawn slightly ahead of Eglamore than the Stanton colt made his effort. The three then finished the race in the closest of company, and although Enterprise held the •middle berth he had plenty of room, and going smoothly in Cannon's hands to the end, he won in capital style by half a length from Phil, who in the last few strides beat Eglamore by the same for second money. At an interval of six lengths Eiridspord was fourth, and a couple of lengths behind him came Grandison, Florentine, and Hugo, who were not separated by ' more than heads or necks, with Lovegold a long way last. Time, lmin 45 3-ssec.
