Betting": 9 to 4 ag"st The Ruler, 10 to 1 ag-st Bloomsbury, 10 to 1 ag-st Fitzroy, 13 to 

 1 ag'st I-am-not-aware, 13 to 1 ag'st Janus, 16 to 1 ag-st Mervan, 17 to 1 ag-st The Corsair,

Perdita took the lead, followed by The Ruler and I-am- 

 not-aware, with The Corsair, Janus, King Cole, Bosphorus,

 aware and Bosphorus in front, with Janus, Fitzroy, and 

 Calypso behind. In descending the hill Bloomsbury drew 

 upon them, and on reaching the cords was running next the

 thing else in the race, was beaten in the dip, except Clarion, 

 who was behind I-am-not-aware on the upper side ; Isaac, 

 it is true, was fifth, but laid very wide, and had no earthly 

 chance of getting up. About fifty yards from the post 

 Chifney made his rush, and those who know how terrific 

 that rush is, will not be surprised that Bloomsbury, with 

 nine stone, at the end of a long and severe race, should
