The race — a ^ the Oaks generally is — vras yportiiig and 

 true — every inch of the ground being contested. They 

 started well together, all in a cluster in fact, Minna being 

 the first to give way, which she did at the top of the hill, 

 Vesper and Mr Greatrex's filly being the next to follow 

 her example. A])out a distance and a half from home the 

 following five appeared engaged in a grand struggle : — 

 Cyprian, Fair Jane, Promise, Marmalade, and Destiny, 

 which they maintained to the grand stand, when Cyprian 

 and Destiny, springing forward simultaneously, made a 

 beautiful rush in, Scott landing his mare — not without 

 punishment — by half a length. Marmalade and Promise 

 were two or three lengths behind, and a fine flourishing 

 tail came sweeping down the course after them. The value 

 of the stakes was £2,750. 



Cyprian's next appearance was at Newcastle, where she 

 won the Northumberland Plate of 100 sovs. added to a 

 Handicap Sweepstakes of 15 sovs. each, 10 ft, and only 5 

 if declared, &c. ; the owner of the second horse received 

 back his stake. — Two miles. — Twenty three subs., four of 

 whom paid only 5 sovs. each.

This closed her career upon the Turf, and she was then 

 put to the stud, by her owaier, leaving behind her the charac- 

 ter of a good and honest mare, whose success was hardly 

 equal to her merits. k
