St. Olalr and Sllvermark were palled up by their jockeys before covering more than a mile/ and walked baok to the starting post. A soene of great confusion ooouired as the six horses that raoed returned to the saddling paddock. After some time the Stewards decided that it was no start, and, that the horses mast run again. The totallaator was not reopened. Silvermark won from St Glair by a nose. Time, 2min lSseo. Dividends—lnside, £2 8s 61; ' outride, £2 4s 6d. The jockeys Holmes and Carey were find £10 eaoh, and Ktdd £5 by the atarter, who avers that Holmes tried to ride him down, and that he (the starter) struck Artillery over the head to keep -him off. This movement of the flag the jookeys appear to have taken as the signal to start. Many backers of Cinderella are demanding the dividend aha would have paid or else their money baok. •■■•-.
