defeated the Danebury " pot" very cleverly. Benefactor, another
representative of Wuodyeate's, won the Wilton Park Stakes, de-
feating Sea Breeze and Minna Troll, the latter of whom
when meeting Sea Breeze at level weights sustained defeat
from the vanquished of the previous day. The Selling Sweep.
