496 HISTORY OF THE 



two lengths ; Lord Lichfield's Firefly, sister to 

 Phosphorus, 8st. 31b. (Wakefield), second ; Lord 

 Albemarle's ch. c. Exit by Vanish, 8st. 71b. (E. 

 Edwards), third. 



The Draiving-room stakes. — Betting : 7 to 4 on 

 Deception, 4 to 1 against Merganser, 6 to 1 against 

 Nickleby, and 7 to 1 againt Bosphorus. 



Deception started with the lead, at a moderate 

 pace, and kept it throughout, winning in a com- 

 mon canter by four lengths. 



The Goodwood stakes. — Betting : 3 to 1 against 

 Confusionee, 9 to 2 against The Lord Mayor, 12 

 to 1 against Romania, 15 to 1 against Lam-not- 

 aware, 16 to 1 against Joannina, 16 to 1 against 

 Barnacles, 22 to 1 against The Friar, 20 to 1 

 against Morella, 30 to 1 against Cornborough. 



The horses started for this race in a tremendous 

 storm. Wee Willie and Confusionee going off" late 

 and in bad places. Percy took up the running 

 with Romania, which she kept for about half the 

 distance, when Confusionee passed her and took 

 up the running. Half way down the hill, Con- 

 fusionee resigned in her turn to Morella ; but 

 passing the distance, Barnacles came up with her, 

 shook her off" at the stand, and won easily by two 

 lengths. 



There were many who afiirmed that Confusionee 

 would have won, but for the accident of her reins 

 getting twisted at starting, through which she lost 

 ground. Considering the heavy state of the 

 course, the pace was excellent.
