Considerable difficulty was experienced in getting the horses away, and Tippet bolted twice, going fully a quarter of a mile ere he could be pulled up. At length, however, the field was sent off to a fair start, and after a keenly contested race, Worm worn by two or three lengths from Kate, Bon Jour being a good third. The winner was bought in by the owner (Mr Chad wick) for £24. Dividend, 15s, (10s tickets). . :
