The following also formed part of the field: Mr.

 Queensberry's ch. c. by King Fergus, dam by Sweet- 

 briar; Mr. Bullock's ch. c. Hanger, by Javelin ; Lord

 Leviathan, 7 to 1 against Stickler. The above appears

 were twelve starters. Parisot was ridden by J. Arnull. 

 Mr. Harris's Miss Whip, by Volunteer, was second, 

 Mr. Phillip's Outcast, by Pot-8-os, being third. There 

 were forty-two subscribers, and Frisky, who, however,
