lOS THE DERBY, 1835. 



tege, fell back. At the stand only Ascot and Ibrahim, 

 Mundig and Pelops, appeared to contest the race, each pair 

 running a match as it were ! — Ibrahim was beaten before 

 the stand, and Pelops as they cleared it. The race then lay 

 between Ascot and Mundig, who made a desperate neck and 

 neck struggle for it, Mundig winning, by a neck ; so close, 

 that on the stand it was impossible to say which had it, and 

 in the next stride after passing the judge's chair Ascot's 

 head was first. Indeed, Mundig won his race right upon 

 the post. Pelops, the much despised Pelops, with 100 to 1 

 against him, was third, though the judge only placed two. 

 It was one of the closest and best contested Derbys ever 

 run, and the horses came home more sociably than we ever 

 remember to have seen them. There was literally nothing 

 of a tail. Ibrahim was fourth, Valentissimo fifth, and Trim 

 sixth. 



Mundig's second appearance in public, for the St Leger 

 Stakes, at Doncaster, was not equally fortunate, being de- 

 feated easily by that first rate " Crack" of her day the 

 Queen of Trumps, and not placed by the judge. But on 

 the following day, he took the lead, and kept it throughout, 

 for the Foal Stakes of 100 so vs. each, h. ft, for three yr 

 olds ; colts, 8st. 7lb. ; and fillies, 8st. 41b.— Mile and a half. 

 Ten subs.
