There were 'three oi'four false start«, in which Cock of the Walk was principally conspicuous, while the continued fractiousness.ol' of 'Pearl,' Fisherman, Landmark, and Cheesewring tended In a great measure to prevent Mr. M'George despatching the large field. At length the Hag fell to a good sturt, the quickest on their legs being Oxouiuu, Pitchfork, Alice, and Old .Sam, Oxonian on the extreme right, soon ussuming a decided

lead, followed closely. by Pitchfork, Landmark, and Blenihelm, Alice ly ing .well up in the middle, while Old 8am was as forward as any of the others on the right; Statesman, wno got badly oft', being behind him. Auton, on thu ox treme right, dla not seem utile to go tho pace, und. never took a prominent position in'the front. When a furlong had been covered, Alice and Old Sam drew awuy from the others, and went on nearly level, with Oxonian, Pitchfork, Landmark, Blenheim, und Lord Col ney comprising the leading lot of the others, of whom Statesman was in hopeless difllcultics. Two distances from home, Old Sam compounded, and Alice, who went well up to tfiat point, also shut up. At the distance. Blenheim drew up to the girths of Oxonian, but could only hold his place :for:a few strides, when Oxonian again drew away, and won easily at, the finish by five lengths; about the sum?diBtaucti~separutcd Second and third.
