John Peel's grey Band-man This race was run in a heavy downpour, and there were two false starts before the field of eleven got away in close order with Fuir Sport leading, the favourites being in the tail. At the }inile Fair Sport was overhauled by Defiance, who many fancied was a dark horse. Fontenoy began to go up when nearing the Monument and soon his stable companion Eureka imitated his example and Skipjack also began to race. Rounding the bend, Mr. Sassvon's colours were in the van with Defiance racing best of the others, and the finish was very tame, the contest remaining solely amongst the three from the big stable, Fontenoy who looked the winner, ran well to the straight where he was overtaken by Kureka who won by halfalength, Fair Sport, who had beenmaking the running for some distance, third, Defiance fourth, Victory fifth, Bandsman last, Time, 2m, 93secs.

ButSt. Elmo displaced him when nearing the Monument, Mischabel retaining second place and Visit aut coming out from the ruck. St. Elmo made the running right up to Mohawk Lodge, where Mischabel gave way before Visitant who was splendidly ridden. The colours of the big stable were carried in front by St. Elno almost to the rails where he was close pressed by Visitant, and after a desperate struggle the popular owner from Hongkong carried victory off from the very teeth of the leviathan stable and won a splendid race by half a length amid cheers which showed how popular the win was, and the glorious uncertainty of the turf scored another record.
