Holmes) bd d Gallant, by Young Fullevton— Sally Milburn, beat Sir T. Brocklebank's bk b Bhick Veil, by Young Fullerton -Blackmail. Bettiug : 7 to 4 on Fabulous Fortune. Puss coming rather wide on the slipper s right, Five by Tricks, under the red flap, sot slightest advantage in the delivery, and going the faster for the first 60 yards he was at that point nearly clear. '1 he f avourite then fairly came at him, and looked like going clean past, but Five by Tricks lesponded to the clullenge, and the pair struggled head and head for"some distance. As they nearqj the hare, however, Fabulous Fortune dwelt as in some of hw p'evious courses and Five by Tricks shooting out with considerable fire was a length and a-halfc in front when h«F l* irs ' ; moved his hare. He shot away smartly oir*the bcut, and though puss came round, the crack, at a" critical point, f-til^d to displace him. Five by Tricks now had all his own way for a strong beginning, and though the white at last got to woik and ran with genuine cleverness, his gallant euort left him still in a consid'r.ible nrnoiity when he killed on the breast of the bank close to the Sough. (letting : 6 to 4 on Gallant. Black Veil went slightly the factor for the fir.-t 60 yar.is, when (rillunt looked like challenging for the lead, but the bitch t-hook him off again, aud at the finish was just two leng-hs in front as puss whipped short round by the lejt, causing Black Veil to cut out. Gallant, moving very cl-y^rly round, went up for the pecond point, and forging grandly on the scut v-< tiie bitch rejoiued, she <iuite failed in her effort to displace him, and Gallant finished a clever little perfoimance with a smart kill. DECIDING C 'URSE . MrT. P. Hale's (MrT. Holmes) bd cl Gallant, by Young Fullevton— Sally Milburn, beat Mr H. Hardy's f d Five by Tricka, by Freshman— Full Hand". Betting : 6 to 4on Five by Tricks The favourite looked like leading tor a few strides ns they split slightly, but in a very short distance Gallant showed in front, and clearing the drain in good style thsn went faster every yard of the way, being two lengths in front as he approached his hare. Five by Tricks made a game null up and cut to kill, but tht 1 movement only served to entirely dest'oy his chance, tor Gallant «wep round grandly with* his hare as she broke to the left, used her stiongly twice 111 or< , and killed in»gieat style. It was only a poor trial to decide a Wateiloo Cup, but the win was clear and decisive. Waterloo Purse —For the 32 dogs bea x en in the first round of the Cup. Winner £75, second £30, two dogs £15 each, four dogs £10 each, eight dogs £5 each. THIRD ROUND. Mr H. Brocklebank's f d p Bellinger, by Restorer — Persephone, bea? Sir JI.

Watcon's f d Word of Honour, by Herschel— Watchful Duchess, beat Mr R. B Carruthers ns Mr .1 Rusßel's bk b r> Realism, by Restorer— Real Lace. Bollinger stretched away many lengths from Birton Terrible for the first point, but the hare only being reached a iong way down the withins I was too far off too see well what followed. The bundled from our distant view seemed to have the best of the course after the turn, but tho»e lower down the ground said that Bollinger wou easily. After running together for 40yd* or EOyds Happy Sight began to rapidly draw ahead, and to a fasthare at last went up nearly half a dozen 1-ngtbs in front. He soon lost his place rather clumsily, but Hebron Hill had not done sufficient to square accounts before puss reached the Sough. Gauze and Diakka also wont together for some distance, but the former then rapidly drew ahead, and icaching the hurt! with a strong lead set to work in such fine style that Diakka could never get a look in, Ganze finishing a, capital trial, which she ran beautifully right through, with a smart kill. Word of Honour stretched away five lengths from Realism, and although the hare went round pbavply the fawn again went up well ahead for the second point. Still keeping his place, the Irish dog acoied a third time, and although Realism then joi- ed issue she never had the slightest chance of reversing the store. FOURTH ROUND Happy Sight beat Br.l>inger Gauze beat Word of Honour. Happy Sight dr-w away four lengths from Bollinger iv an average spin to the Sough, his extra pace landing him nn easy winner. Gauze stretched out tluve lengths from Word of Honour, and again running in fine style only allowed, the white collar.it point or two towards the finish of a, capital triaj.. DECIDING COURSE. Mr M. G. Hale'.s b k d p Happy Sight, by Happy Gazer — Teutonic, beat Mr. l. Coke m Mr Gladstone's f b p Gauze, by Herschel— Myrtle Green.

Joneb s r d Juggernaut, by FitzFif<s— Jungfrau In a nice stretch down the withins, Under the Globe drew out three lengths fiom Lady Jane VII, and sweeping round batter than the bitch as puss broke by the left held clever p issession throughout a capital trial of n'ce length. In another g'jod stretch Dick Major drew away half a dozin lengths from Marmoset, and thpugh he flew out wide as the iiare broke chore round, giving the white collar a fine chance, Dink Major nicked in from the sid» a? puss completed the double, an"d inst.ntly closed accounts by killing. Shulent drew away four lengths in a stretch similar to the previous one 3, and used hi« hare twice before dropping into the diain. Sunnydale no a joner got on terms with his hare than he also made a mistake, and the course for tome time looked like being easily won by Student. A rare hare, however, stood up back down the withins, and tho blue vanning in clover and resolute style defied Student's effoi ts to displace him, havinir a balance in hi< favour when he wound up his gallant display with a good kill. * Latlrel Leaves drew away 9, long three lengths

from Juggernaut, and covering her hare smartly latt led it about three or four times before giving the coup dc grace in great style. THIRD HOUND. Under the Globe beat Dick Major. Laurel Lsayes beat Sunnydale. It was a magnificent ttruggle between Under the Globe and Dick Maior all the way down the withins, the first namtd just getting the first point. He ran a capital trial, too, in far the cleverer style, and though Dick Major showed in front as they neared the bank, the black finished the easiest of winners. Laurel Leaves stretched away many lengths from Sunnydale, and had all her own way for pome time. The blue, as in the previous round, finished the course in gallant style, but his kill left a clear ba'ance against him DECIDING COURSE. Mr R. Y/Ttfather n.s Mr T. Giaham's blk d Under the Globe, by Mullingar — Sea Serpent, beat Marquis of Anglesey (the Duke of Leeds's) blk b p Laurel Leaves (late Black Nell), by Kpicharmus — Filaine. Under the Globe in a good stretch drew out » leDgth and a-half, and sweeping well with his hare as she broke to the left kopt his place for the second and third points. Laurel Leaves then made a capital effort, but she had barely squared accounts when the red collar went in again, and gaining the beat of what followed won easily. Gallant is a third-season fawn dog by Young Fullerton out of Sally Milburh, aud the property of Mr Thomas Holme", of Jarrow. Bred by Mr Thomas Graham, of Corby, Cumberland, Gallant wan sold as a puppy to his present owner, and took part in the Waterloo Cap of 1895, won by Thoughtless Beauty, who defeated Gallant in the seiui-finals after a closely-con- : tested course. Mr Holmes subsequently I received, but declined, an offer of £400 for the | son of Sally Milburn.
