A quarter of a mile from home Greenan collapsed, and with Sallins earlier in trouble, tho leaders were divided into sections, Bridegroom and Gazetteer having worked themselves to the front on the rails, just as Mount Prospect mads tracks towards Sirenia, who was joining him on the outside. In hopeless pursuit of these were Kendal Boy, Sallins, and St. Noel to the distance, where Mount Prospect got to such close quarters with Sirenia that they must almost, if not qviite, have touched. In the last 50 yards Sirenia was returning the compliment, and the pair passing the post locked together, the outsider secured the verdict by a head. NEWMARKET. Tuesday, October 11.

As they descended the hill Asterie lost ground, and when Chaleureux shook off Mermnn and Herminius in the Abingdon Mila Bottom he looked like sailing home alone. As soon, however, as they began to breast ins hill Asterie rapidly picked up her ground again, and overhauled Merman and Hermmms so fast that second place was taken a hundred yards from home. Upon this position she could not improve, as although finishing strong Chaleureux likewise gave good response, and won by a length and a half; half a length dividing second and third.

Aj they descended the hill the field completely broke up, and with Flying Fox gradually reducing the command of Caiman, not inora than a neck divided them in the Abingdon Mile Bottom, and for a few strides Aye could look forward apparently to an exciting struggle. Another 50yds, however, settled the question, as Avhen the severity of the hill began to tell a tale Caiman steadily left Flying Fox behind and Avon by a length and a-half. Time, Iznin 18 4-fisac.
