STife, and then looked round for Shilelagh, the only compe- 

 titor he had any dread of — seeing that Sam was bringing 

 up his horse, he gave Plenipo. his head, went right away 

 from Glencoe, and, without the shadow of a struggle, won 

 easily by two lengths at least; Shilelagh was second, 

 Glencoe third (beaten half a length by the second), Bentley 

 fourth. Intriguer fifth, Darius sixth, Morotto seventh, and 

 Bubastes eighth Guardian and Brother to Marpessa were 

 the two last ; Noodle, Trulla, Comet, Olympic, Paris, De-

 Stakes, of 100 sovs., h. ft, eighteen subs. Plenipo. was

 canter over the course, for the pretty little sum of eight

Plenipo. was now backed at only two to one against him, 

 for the Doncaster St Leger, for which the Duke of Leeds's 

 Valparaiso (Templeman), accompanied by Tommy Nichol- 

 son, in the Harlequin jacket, on Bubastes, showed first be- 

 fore the stand, which was then literally crowded from roof 

 to base ; and these were speedily followed by Sir J„ Bos- 

 well's General Chasse (a formidable looking chesnut, ridden 

 by Bob Johnson) ; Chifney on Shilelagh, horse and rider 

 both looking uncommonly brisk; George Nelson on War- 

 laby Baylock ; and the rest of the field, consisting of Bran, 

 ridden by Darling ; Lady le Gros, ridden by W. Scott ; 

 Loudon, under the tutelage of Marsden ; Mr H. E. Chis- 

 holm's filly, by Partisan; Touchstone, by Camel, ridden by 

 Calloway, and Plenipo., who was the last to show, or nearly 

 so, ridden by Conolly.
