* The above is to be considered the actual start for the St. Leger stakes. There was a 

 field of twenty seven horses mounted and ready at the time appointed for the race, when 

 after two or three false starts, twenty three of the number went away, without the word 

 having been given, and although the bugle was sounded to call them back, they per- 

 severed and ran the course through, Mr. Peirce's b. c. by Comus, out of Rosanne, coming 

 in first, Barefoot second, and Comte d'Artois, third.
