(Wright). 
After the horses had taken the usual gallop before the stand, they met at the 
starting-post, andatthe word “ go,” all went off except Ludlow, Physician, and 
Fang: the second attempt was successful, and was admirably managed. Roue 
made first running, Mr. Powlett’s filly second, Carlton third, and Birdcatcher 
fourth ; Trustee, Fang, Retainer, Margrave, Julius, lying in a cluster behind. 
Going a very poor pace, they observed this order of running to the Red House, 
where some shifting of places and an increase of speed were perceptible. Roue 
dropped off, and Mr. Powlett’s filly went to the fore ; Birdcatcher became 
second, Julius shewed in front for a second, Margrave from about eighth ad¬ 
vanced to the fourth position, and Physician got amongst the leading horses. 
In a fast-run race the tailing generally begins at the Red House ; but the pace 
was so bad, that none were beaten off till near the rails, where Ludlow was the 
first to cry pecavi; the crack Newmarket nag Byzantium was the next to give 
up; and then Carlton. To return to the Red House : Mr. Powlett’s filly kept 
the lead to the rails, when Birdcatcher came up, ran a few strides with her, 
and beat her at the distance. In the meantime Margrave, who was ridden with 
extraordinary talent by Robinson, had been stealing upon them ; and no sooner 
had Birdcatcher shaken off the mare, than he discovered a new and more 
dangerous opponent at his side. Calloway was slashing his horse, while Ro¬ 
binson was gently moving his until he got up with Birdcatcher: this took place 
near the grand stand; and now the superiority of jockeyship was decisive. 
Margrave continued to improve his advantage, and won cleverly by about three 
quarters of a length. Mr. Powlett’s filly and Physician came in close together, 
the filly being third by not more than a head. Richmond was fifth. Retainer 
sixth, and Julius seventh. As was before observed, the pace was wretched till 
after the Red House, when it increased, and at the rails was very strong.
