The start was admirable. Hope, attended by Refraction, 

 led up the hill; Lady Wildair, Lancashire Witch, Longi- 

 tude, Glee, and Miss Sarah next them, and the rest well 

 up, the pace indifterent. At Tattenham Corner the pace 

 improved, but told upon the field : Hope was still in front, 

 but ''the crack" had vanished, Miss Sarah and Lady Wildair 

 having taken her place. The two first then took up the 

 running and had it between them to the distance, where 

 Refraction challenged, beat them both before reaching the 

 stand, and won easily by two lengths. Hope was second, 

 with Lady Sarah a length behind her, and half a length 

 before Lady Wildair, Glee fifth. Value of the stakes 

 £3,475.

 extra, ran third for the Welcome Stakes of 20 sovs. each.
