Thirteen sported silk for the "Grand," and up to the fall of the flag Goldsbrough stood at the top of the tree, as little as 2 to 1 being hardly obtainable about hitr. His performance was no better than when he started such a certainty for thw Mel bourne Cup last year, and like Connaught, he grievously disappointed hU friend. who had been watching the pair at wcrk for some time past. It was a grand race, done in 3.35 — the Spy's Homebush time ; and the fact that a sheet would have covered eight or nine of the nags from the half-distance till they passed the post, •peaks volumes for the handicap— which we didn't hesitate to pronounce the best of thetbreewhentheweightcameout. King of the West looked like winning easily after landing in the straight, but was caught inside the half -distance by King fisher and Ladybird ; and Huely pulling out, allowed Yoemana to bring Calumny up on the inside, and score a very clever win. Ladybird ran a good, honest, little mare, and finished a splendid second ; King6*her was third, and then came King of the West fourth, and Sweetbriar fifth, close up. The Star showed great pace, and was in front a long way; but Sentinel, the other lightweight, though remarkably fit and well, made but a poor use of his favourable impost. Yoemana rode a fine race on Calumny, getting a good position and patiently keeping it j but at the last he could hardly hare won unless King of the West had pulled out and let him up. Driscoll pulled off the Prince of Wales Stakes with old Platoff ; and then a dozen came out for the County Purse, having among them some good mile and a quarter naga auch as Wombo, Lord Lyoo, &c. Gratis, who looked very well, made all the running after the firat fifty yarda, but was caught at last by Stanhope and beaten *If ly#. ?M?
