As was proper, this was the finest race of the meeting. Es-ist-erreicht, with Merlin close up, made the pace after a pretty start and did' his quarter in 32 3-5ths. The second lap saw these two change places, h the field close by~1.5 2-sths. Merlin still kept the lead and was first at the three-quarters—1.38. Changes came like autumnal leaves in Vallombrosn on the bend. Fleetfoot came bravely round on the outside and ran formidably first into the straight. The mile required 2.11 3-5ths, and it seemed Es-ist-erreicht, Touch-me-not, and Fleetfoot, all but in' line. In a splendid race home Nero displaced the Maidens' winner and looked like final sue-cess, but two chains from home the Doc-for called on the champion, and on he came, winning a fine race from Nero by 1 length, Fleetfoot in our opinion a long, neck behind, though it was given two lengths. Time mins. 432 sees.

Drrasdust now came on, and the issue seemed about to be tame, but the last furlong witnessed a complete change and a capital race. Four ponies struggled on in line till just on the post.
