THE RACE. Blantyre, in his anxiety to get to work, was the cause of several false starts, but when at length the flag fell Master Kildare jumped off in advance of Blantyre, Sunburn, Harbinger, and Peter, and these formed the leading rank to the first turn, when Harbinger settled down in front, followed by Blantyre and Barrington, these being clear of Quits and Simba, and then at another clear interval came Master Kildare, Sunburn, and Eylstone the whipper-in of the party. At the mile post Quits assumed thft command, attended by Harbinger, Simba, and Lartington, while Blantyre separated these from Master Kildare, Sunburn, and Peter, Rylstone lying next, and Ehidorroch now being last. On making the Canal turn Quits held a three lengths lead of Harbinger, who came on in front of Simba and Lartington, to whom succeeded Blantyre and Peter, with Westbourne and Rhidorrooh still a long way behind. As they came into the straight Harbinger retired, and Simba took second place, Peter and Sunburn following third and fourth respeo tively, with Lartington and Eylstone lying well up on the outside, while Master Kildare and Rlxidorroch were prominent in the inside, and a long way in front of Westbourne. A quarter of a mile from home Quits was well beaten, and Simba was left in front. Master Kildare coming on second in advance of Eylstone, Sunburn, Ehidorroch, and Peter all together, and clear of Westbourne. Of these Peter was the first to crack, and with Simba also in trouble Master Kildare took up the running at the distance, followed by Sunburn and Eylstone, with Ehidorroch and Westbourne next. The latter was most seriously disappointed when coming with a wet sail, and was more than once stopped from coming through. Opposite the stand Rylstone obtained the best of Sunburn, and took second place, but despite a grand effort she could not reach Master Kildare, who won a fine race by a length ; a length separated the second and third, and a head the third and fourth, Simba being in the latter position. Ehidorroch w»s fifth, Westbourne sixth. Harbinger seventh, Peter eighth, and Quits last. Time, by Benson’s chronograph, 2min. 31sec, Value of the stakes, £773.

Over the brook Woodbrook held a slight advantage of Chimney Sweep, Lottery, and Ashford, after whom succeeded Earl Marshal and Marsh Boy, with Tentergate next, and Downpatrick last. After entering the country Rooksavage fell, and Chimney Sweep went on in advance of Woodbrook, Earl Marshal, and Marsh Boy to the next obstacle, which Tentergate refused. Soon afterwards Woodbrook resumed the command, the “Sweep’’going on second in front of Lottery and Marsh Boy, who in turn were followed by Earl Marshal, while last of all was Downpatrick. Woodbrook landed over Beechers Brook about three lengths clear of Lottery, who was as far in front of Chimney Sweep, Marsh Boy and Earl Marshal going on next. They ran thus to Valentine’s Brook, where Earl Marshal and Chimney Sweep closed with Lottery, Marsh Boy lying at their heels, and Ashford now being tailed oft’. At the last fence before reaching the racecourse Woodbrook still led, followed by Chimney Sweep, Lottery, and Earl Marshal all close together,’ and half a dozen lengths in front of Downpatrick and Marsh Boy, both of whom were by this time hopelessly beaten.
