The field was despatched on even terms, but Eussley and Lochiel soon raced to the front, Carbine bringing u p 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 weie on even terms with Russley, Melos at the same time passing Lochiel.

The race for the first round was simply a farce, and the slowness of the pace was cause of derision from spectators. The jockeys on Carbine and Abercorn appeared to be watching and waiting for each other and nob paying much attention to Lochiel, who still held the lead. Five furlongs from home, Lochiel commenced to cut oub the pace at a merry bat, and it was only then that the riders of the other pair saw that they weva making a mistake. Both set out in reaL earnest after the leader. At one time it appeared as if Lochiel must win, bub Carbine, running with great gameness, crept up inside the distance, and won on the post by ha'f a head from Lochiel, Abercorn two lengths behind the latter.
