 18. Horses having started, Compromise repudiated. 



Lord Clermont's Hornpipe beat Lord Egremont's 

 Atropa, Derby course, 50 gs. This match was 

 compromised by Lord Egremont paying 35 gs. ; 

 but the fillies had started and run two or three 

 hundred yards before the jockeys were informed 

 of the compromise. Atropa's rider then pulled up, 

 but having started, it was considered a race and 

 the full money paid.
