 who had won the Eclipse Stakes and was to win the 

 Princess of Wales' Stakes next season, 5 to 1 ; William 

 the Third, who was to win the Gold Cup next year, 

 and had run second for the Derby beaten three parts 

 of a length after winning the Newmarket Stakes and 

 other good races, 13 to 2 ; and Merry Gal, another 

 winner of the Princess of Wales's Stakes, 20 to 1. 

 Epsom Lad won from Santoi by three-quarters of a 

 length, but Mr. George Edwardes' colt was giving 

 him 3 lb. The Derby winner was third, running 

 Santoi at weight for age.

 the Coronation Cup, and in the Gold Cup was third 

 to William the Third and Osboch ; Volodyovski and 

 the Oaks winner, Cap and Bells II., among the eight
