at one time threatened only to strengthen the positions
taken up by the crocks that appeared up to Doncaster, for
the trio running in the Buckenham must have been an
indifferent lot when the wiener, who was not so forward in
condition as the others, afterwards ran so moderately in the
Nursery. The improved Exchequer could not got within
