Nearco, the crack Italian horse by Lord Derby's Pharos, won by a length, while two lengths separated second and third, Nearco won in great style and had no difficulty in staving off an attack by Canot, which in a fne burst of speed, had shot away from the field, which was bunched in front of the grandstands, and gained several lengths.
