The v Jw course was nearly as fast as it could ~^~*rV\l be made, and the weather was sim- ply superb. Over 2,000 attended. M# Gladiola equalled the track record for the short six furlongsâ1:12]â and two of the five-furlong races were run in the cracking time of 1:015.

Alesia, the favorite, ran a good, game race, and was second, Romulus a poor third. Silver Plate, played for a killing and a favorite at 2 to 1, got away slightly in front, and though it looked as if Pasha would win a sixteenth from home, he had to run around her, and the turn toward the rails perhaps lost him the race.
