About a quarter past three, after one false start and two 

 or three minor failures, the lot went away at an excellent 

 pace, the Angelica colt leading, followed by the Melody 

 colt, Launcelot, and Bokhara, with Confederate, Assassin, 

 Little Wonder, and Scutari next, the others well laid up. 

 This order was observed for about half a mile, when the 

 Melody colt took up the running, Launcelot lying second. 

 Assassin third, Angelica, Confederate, and Little Wonder 

 being the next lot ; in going round the turn Little Wonder 

 passed Assassin, and took his place at Launcelot's quarters ; 

 the Angelica colt was beaten off here ; in fact, the three 

 leading horses were all that were left in the race, neither 

 Assassin nor Confederate having the slightest chance of 

 winning. The Melody colt maintained his lead to the 

 distance, and there it was all up v ith him ; Little Wonder
