The betting closed at 5 to 2 agst Coronation (t.), 5 to 1 agst Ralph (t.), 7 to 1 agst 

 Marshal Soult (t.), 9 to 1 agst Belgrave, 12 to 1 agst Van Amburgh, 13 to 1 agst Galaor

 1 agst Sir Hans, 33 to 1 agst Potentia, and 50 to 1 agst E. O. 



The race may be described in a lew words. After si.^c or 

 seven false starts, they all got well away toi^ether, Ralph, 

 as usual with him, taking- the lead, Camelion, Coronation, 

 Arundel, and Joachim, lying in front. Thus they came 

 round Tattenham Corner, where Ralph shut up, and from 

 this point Coronation had the race in hand ; came iorward 

 at his own time, and won easily by three lengths. Van 

 Amburgh was second, beating the third by three lengths. 

 The third place was claimed equally by Mustapha Muley, 

 E. 0., and Arundel. The others came in — where you 

 please. Value of the stakes about £4,200. 



Coronation won at Oxford, August 18, the Cup, in spe- 

 cie, value loo sovs., added to a Sweepstake of 5 sovs. each. 

 Two miles and a quarter. — Eight subs., beating Isaac, Ca- 

 ravan, and Executrix. 



His Epsom performances satisfied the racing world that 

 Coronation was a second Eclipse, and nothing would satisfy 

 them but backing him for the St Leger at two to one on him. 

 The event however prcved the vanity of turf foresight — he 

 was beaten cleverly by Satirist, and with that race closed 

 his Turf career.
