Cypher was wedged on the rails well at tho hack, hut improved his position at the first turn. Basella stole a march on the field at the Abattoirs lin'd the crowd were beginning to conjure visions of a runaway victory, hut ATolyneux chased him, Whittier meanwhile capitulating as the result of excessive pulling.. Ingoda was noticed for the the first time when approaching the straight, Cypher also coming on the outside of the field from the rails. P-i----ratoo led into the stfanght, but Ingoda and Cypher assumed the command and commenced a desperate struggle. Both were locked at the distance. Tt was anybody’s race at one hundred yards from the post, with Cyrlier slightly in front at fifty yards, but in the last three strides Ingoda came again and won by a short neck. Ahifti emerged from the field in the last furlong and ran through the leaders to third place. The “Telegraph” states Yacamundn led into the straight and Basella was ill front at the seven furlongs post, hut was displaced by Molyneux, who led Paratoo into the straight. For a moment the latter looked a winner, hut Ingoda shot in front, with his name on all lips. Cypher coming fast on the outside seemed a certainty at the distance, hut the honours were easy at the half distance. The horses flashed past the post half a neck in Ingoda’s favour.
