ST GILES BEATEjV AGAIN. 



'• ill bet a hundred on Priam." " What won r' '' Can't 

 tell." — " Oh, Priam — see the crowd follow hun, that's a 

 sure sign." "What won?" "Priam — I w^as sure he 

 would — / told you so.'' " Huzzah, huzzah — the old horse 

 for ever ;" — and so the hubbub sinks to rest. 



In 1834, St Giles came out again at Goodwood, to try 

 his luck a second time for the Cup, but he was once more 

 unsuccessful. Glencoe's white hind legs were seen by hun, 

 as w^ell as many others. The following horses started. 



Lord Jersey's ch. c. Glencoe, by Sultan, 3 yrs old, 7st. 41b 1 



Lord Chesterfield's Col-wick, 6 yrs old, 9st, 21b 2 



Mr Forth's b. f. Famine, 3 j rs old, 6st. 101b 3 



Mr Osbaldeston's The Saddler, 6 yrs old, 9st. 121b.; Mr Theobald's Rocking-ham, 4 



yrs old, 9st. 41b. ; Mr Kirby's oh. c. St Giles, 5 yrs old, 8st. 131b. ; Col. Peel's Nonsense, 



4 yrs old, 8st. 101b. ; Mr Forth's b. f. Marpessa, 4 yrs old, 8st. 71b. ; Mr I. Day's b. g-. 



Burg'omaster, 5 yrs old, 8st. Clb. ; and Mr I. Day's b. g-. by Spectre, out of Liston's dam, 



6 yrs old, 7st. 91b. ; also started, but were not placed. 



5 to 2 agst Colwick, 4 to 1 agst Glencoe, 6 to 1 ag-st Nonsense, 8 to 1 ag-st Mr Forth's 



two, 9 to 1 ag-st Rocking-ham, 12 to 1 ag-st St Giles, 12 to 1 ag-st The Saddler, and 17 to 



1 ag-st Liston's dam. 



The start was beautiful, every horse getting off w ell ; 

 Burgomaster, by virtue of his title, took the lead, with 

 Famine, St Giles, and Marpessa lying immediately in his 

 wake, tW'O or three lengths from him, and the others well 

 laid up. In this way they ran to the hill, where we lost 

 them — on again getting in sight, Marpessa was leading, 

 with St Giles in close attendance, and evidently forcing 

 her into stronger runnnig than was exactly agreeable to 

 her; on passing the T.Y.C. post she ran out a little, at 

 the same time a simultaneous movement brought all the 

 horses together, and for several strides they w^ere so close 

 that it would have puzzled a Philadelphia lawyer to say
