Sir William and 'Lyndon jumped off with a lead of a clear length, followed by Hector, the Cloth and No Gentleman getting off badly. When they had gone a quarter of a mile, the Cloth improved his position, passing Hector, and joining the leaders. They raced thus to the distance, when Sir William and the Cloth left Lyndon, and finished a good race, Sir William winning by a neck from the Cloth, with Lyndon well up. Time—1m 50sec.

A protest was entered by the rider of the Cloth of Gold for a cross, but disallowed.
