Thc start took place at precisely len' minutes past four, and was accomplished after 'ono slight failure. Stork immediately tonk a clear lead, followed by the Early Bird «nd Bubble, Cardsharper lying fourth, Hospitality fifth, Ono Act and Aldford next, sido by side, and Imogene and Mr. Sykes close up with them at the head of the ruck,'in the rear of which were Goorkah. Rifleman. Fatalist, Mis-hap, Aleppo, and Vandyke. In pretty nearly this order they passed thc Stand the first time, but owing to a great'many of the light weights, including Stork, Bubble, and Hospitality, run-ning out towards tho entrance gate, the front rank presented several changes after rounding the workhouse turn.' On the retirement of Stork, tho Early Bird was left with the lead, and,' boing joined by Cardsharper, the two drew six or bight lengths in advance of Hospitality, who went on third to the half-mile post, whore ho was re-passed by Stork, Ono Act now lying fifth, Siding sixth, and Typee seventh, with

wide intervals between each. Then followed a

cluster of some dozen, amongst which were Jack, tho Grey; Imogene, and Courtenay ; and behind them the remainder presented one of the most extraordinary " tail»" wo ever re-member to have seen in this race nt so early a portion of it-the best proof of tho severity of tho pace. As they approached the bridge turn, Cardsharper headed Tho burly Bird, and tho paco slackening a little, the others got close together in the straight running to commence the second round. At this point Hospitality dis-appeared from' tho. front, and on re-passing tho Stand, One. Act was at Early Bird's side ; Imogene, Stork, and Yellow Jack (who had gradually emerged from the ruck, follow-ing closo at their heels. Typee succeeded them, and next to the old mare, who looked as' ferrnidablo os anything, ' wero Courtenay, Yorkshiro Grey, Quince, Hungerford, New Brighton, and Poodle. What followed wo shall not nttoinpt to specify, nor did wo notice how far some of the stragglers were beaten at this point, though between the first and last horses there could have been little short of a quar-ter of a mile! About fifty yards beyond tho Workhouse Turo, ' Stork ran against the Early Bird, and drove him against the rails, upon which the horse balanced fur an instant, got rid of Aldcroft, who was fortunately thrown to the other side, and then recovered himself, not without creating a little confusion, however, amongst those immediately behind him, of which Flatman immediately took advantage by se-curing a good berth for Typed. Tliis coritreltmps left One Act in attendance upon Cardsharper and Stork became third. Imogene fourth, Yellow Jack fifth, Hungerford sixth.and Typee seventh; but immedintely afterwards Yorkshire Grey began to improve his condition, and, half way along the Deo side, he "passed the two old-uns,

and laid at tho heels of the favorite. At the Castle Pole, the last time, Cardsharper resigned the lead to Ono Act and tmogene.who looked w ll

for a few strides at tho commencement of tho tum, but giving way in tho bend of it, Stork be-came the immediate follower of the Woodyeate's mare into tho straight,'where the latter. Yellow Jack, Typee, Yorkshiro Grey, and Courtenay wore tho only lot left, with a chance. Aftor passing the Grosvenor post, Stork beat a retreat, and Yellow Jack and.. Ty pee coming together, drow up to Ono Act's «ide nt tho distance, the Grey, having met with disappointment in getting through just before, bsing at their heels,'hemmed in by Courtenay, so that Bearpark was unable to get through or go round his horses. Inside tho distance the three leaders-One Act boing next tho rails. Yellow Jack ¡ in tho middle, and tho old mnro on tho outside-closed, and ran a most magnificent va Co homo;'Ono Act without being fairly collared, winning Lby a- head, and Yellow Jack heating Typee for tho second money by tho samo; Yorkshire Grey, who finished two lengths from Lord'Chesterfield's mare, having ad vantage of a length over Courtenay./; Imogeuo was sixth about a length from tho fourth, and Poodle seventh, close up with her, Scythian being eighth and Cardsharper, Mr Sykes' Stork, and Mishap next in ad vaneo, pf the-"stragglers." The last lot included VniuDunck, Vandyke, Lady Tat-ton, Hospitality, .Rifleman, Góorkah, and Ald-ford, the latter threo walking in a long way be-hind, Bartholomew haviug.somo timó previously jumped blT his horse! "'who broke down very badly in tho near forc-le"gVat the railway bridge, in the last round. '- Aldford, who kicked his jockey off whilst walking up to tho post before starting, ran against .a:man towards the close of tho race, und fell, giving Alder a very severe shaking. Aldcroft waH.curried off the course to his lodgings, apparently much hurt. Hun in
