After one breakaway, in which Enterprise galloped half a mile before being pulled up, the. lot were despatched lo a capital sian, bu. after going a few strides Enterprise and Salute cut out the work about three lengths in front of Valentine and Express, the athers following in main. close order. These positions Wars tained without any material variation until half Ja, mile from home, where Mr. Pond sent the favorite to the front and he raced down to the village four lengths to the good, his nearest attendants being Total Loss and Musket, although Liygodan, who had been conspicuously in the rear, was now threading his way through the field. Entering the straight the result was a foregone conclusion. and notwithstanding Llygodan's game efforts to get up, Leander drew away by himself and won easily by four lengths, in the very fast time of 2 min. 41 secs. Total Loss was a fair third, Musket fourth and Bolero fifth.
