 and Mickleton Maid took the lead, followed by Grey Milton, 

 Modesty, and George ; Charles XII., Retriever, and Sleight- 

 of-Hand well up. There was little change in the running 

 until they reached the last turn, where Mickleton Maid, 

 having done the needful for Sleight-of-Hand, retired, and 

 Modesty went on with the running, followed by Sampson, 

 St Benedetta, Orelia, and Cruiskeen. At the distance Mo- 

 desty gave in ; Sampson was then in front, and up to the 

 Grand Stand looked amazingly like a winner; Charles XI F. 

 and Sleight-of-Hand, however, caught him here, and the 

 struggle home was exceedingly interesting, Sleight-of-Hand 

 winning by a neck, Sampon beating Charles by a head, 

 and Orelia three-parts of a length from them.
