Betting at starting.1 — 11 to 8'agst Coldrenick,
5 to 1 agst Attila, (6 to 1 laid two or three times),
12 to 1 ag3t Jack, 12 to 1 agst Forth's lot, 14 to
1 agst Seahorse, 20 to 1 agst Agreeable colt', 30 to
1 agst William' de.Fortibus, 40 to 1 agst Lasso; 50
to 1 agst Auckland, and 1,000 to 10 agst any other.
At half-past, three the start-took place'; Com
bermere took the lead, followed by Attila, Lasso,
and Belcceur; : the second; lot. being headed by
Auckland, Chatham, Seahorse, . Policy, and Cold
renick; to these succeeded a body, of horses (in
racing phraseology 'the ruck,') and-then the tail,
viz., Defier, Robert de Gorham, Palladium, Hy
daspes, and Jack ; the ; last having lost a start of
nearly 100 yards. For the : first quarter of a mile
the pace was moderate ; it then quickened, and
Lasso immediately vacated the third .place, but in
other respects the race proceeded as .we have de
scribed it, till near the turn.. when Belcceur headed
Attila and Combermere, and .with the two at his
shoulders carried- the running into the straight
course, the lot behind them consisting of Chatham^
Auckland, Seahorse, Policy, land the' Agreeable
colt; Robert dc Gorham, who had gradually im
proved' his position,* lying next. The front rank
continued intact to the road, but it was otherwise
with that behind it. Coldrenick had already shown
that the distance was too great for him/Chatham
fell lame, ' Seahorse, Policy, and the Agreeable
colt'had shot their bolts, and Robert de Gorham
passing them in succession, took his ground- next
to Auckland, within a few yards of the distance.
Combermere gave up- in toto, arid fell into ' the
ruck,' and immediately after1 Attila shot past
Belcceur, took a decisive lead; kept' it to the end,
and won with the most perfect case imaginable by
two lengths. Robert de Gorham ran by Auckland
half- way up the -distance/ collared Belcceur at the
stand, and beat him for the second money cleverly
by a length, Auckland being well up with Belcceur
at! the finish. . The Agreeable colt and Policy were
fifth and sixth, Seahorse - dividing them from: the
crowd behind. Jack and Palladium were about
the last two. The pace was good, but certainly
not first rate. Value of the stakes, £4,900. Col.
Anson, Lords Chesterfield and Maidstone, and, in
fact, all the gentlemen 'connected with Scott's
stables, are great winners on the race; the; Man
chester men are also on the right side, the balance
to be handed over amounting, according to report,
