Flambeau, and Euclid, and took his station close to Valen- 

 tissimo; they ran thus to the distance, when St Francis 

 shot by his horses and took the lead. Bloomsbury lived 

 in the second place to the grand stand, and then dropt 

 behind Montreal ; and in this way they fijiished, St Francis 

 winning very cleverly by half a length, and Montreal 

 beating Bloomsbury by about a length ; Flambeau two or 

 three lengths behind, — Valentissimo fifth. Caravan sixth, 

 and Euclid la^t — all beaten off. Some of Bloomsbury's 

 friends insist that but for running away he would have won. 

 We doubt this; he would certainly have made a better 

 finish, but St Francis is a lazy horse, and could have won 

 much easier.
