sore throats had rendered them unht to run, and thus a very 

 pretty stake was left for competition to a large field of bad 

 mares. As soon as the announcement was made that the 

 first three of the above five would not run, Callisto became 

 an immense favourite ; Industry came next, then Sister to 

 Marvel, then Unique, and lastly Mecca, — the latest quota- 

 tions being 5 to 2 agst Callisto, 13 to 2 agst Industry (t.), 7 

 to 1 agst Mecca, 8 to 1 agst Unique, 12 to 1 agst Brown 

 Duchess, 12 to 1 agst Sister to Marvel, 13 to 1 agst Came- 

 lia, 25 to 1 agst Wave, and 25 to 1 agst Romania. In the 

 preliminary gallops Unique cut so wretched a figure, that 

 any one vi^ould have betted 30 to 1 against her. The fol- 

 lowing started.

Lord Chesterfield's f. Caroline Elvina, by Tramp, out of Babel. 



Caroline Elvina — started expressly to make play for In- 

 dustry — went away in front, followed by Callisto and Ro- 

 mania, Industry and Sister to Marvel lying in the ruck, and 

 the latter evidently having a most uncomfortable time of it, 

 Callisto took up the running at the Tattenham corner, and 

 at the distance v^^as challenged by Sister to Marvel, Forth
