Hercules «iid Scrutineer each in turn challenged the loader, hnt only succeeded in getting on terms with him to be left'again in the rear. They raced very close together at the last two jumps, and loud cries being raised as each ap. peered'to be gaining advantages,, On coming into the straight for the last time the first three were together, and each waß placed under the whip, ajid a more exciting few seconds as they raced home could hardly be imagined. As they approaohed the hurdle near the winning post Hercules and Scrutineer closed.up on each side of Orient, and the three took the jump almost together, Orient getting about half.a length the best of it, and managing to keep his advantage to: the. finish. The riding of the jockeys on these three was much admired. Kohai with list, up, and Septimus 10st 2lb started,_ but 1 they were both ••completely, out of it from the start, Kohai makiug the best attempt of the two.

The race appeared to bebetween the first three till the bolt. • Some astonishment washespressed at Uncle Tom being handicapped to the same extent as Mountain Deer, a horse with a far better record, Alexander, rider of Uncle Tom, and: Harris, Mountain Deer'B jockey, were called before the Stewards and reprimanded for not going back and jumping the hurdles after .the horses ran round them, The continued raoing they said for I'.' a lark."
