The field was despatched on even terms, but Russley and Lochiel soon raced to the front, Carbine bringing up the rear. This order was maintained for half the journey, when both Carbine and Rudolph improved their positions. As they entered the straight Lochiel died away, and Carbine and Rudolph were on terms with Russley, Melos at the same time passing Lochiel. At the distance post Carbine asserted himself, and won by half a length from Rudolph, Russley a fair third, Melos fourth, and Lochiel last. Time-Imin 40sec.

The race for the j first round was simply a farce, and the i slow hobs of of the pace the cauao of cpies/<

fof derision from the spectators. The I jockeys of Carbine and Abercorn appeared to be watching and wailing for each other, and not paying much attention to Lochiel, who still held the lead. Five furlongs from home Locliiel commenced to cut out the pace at a merry bat, and it was only then that the riders of the pair saw that they were making a mistake. Both set out in real earnest after the leader. At one time it appeared as if Lochiel must win, but Carbine running very gamely crept up inside the distance, and won on the post by half a head from Lochiel, Abercorn two lengths behind the latter.
