Sycophant went away with a clear lead to the Brickkilns,
where ho was passed by both Chirper and Lancaster, Dart-
moor and Convivialist lying fourth and fifth. On rounding
the turn into the straight Dartmoor passed Sycophant, and
joined Chirper and Lancaster. At the distance Chirper was
beaten. Lancaster and Dartmoor then came on side by side
to the half-distance, where Dartmoor showed the white
feather, and would have cut it had not Johnny Daley forced
him along. Lancaster, however, won very easily by six
lengths; Chirper was a bad third, Sycophant next. Con-
vivialist cantered in and did not pass the post. The winner
was not claimed.

An excellent start took place, but they had scarcely
settled into their places when Sherborne rushed to the
front and carried on the running at a good pace, having
British Prince and Pixie close in this wake. On coming to
the road British Prince fell back, and Crater, Rockley,
Vinegar Hill, and Flitch closed up with Sherborne and
the light weight. Opposite the Old Stand, Crater ap—

for second place by the same. Lord of the Tees did not
pass the post.
