siasm. q good many seemed 10 be of the
opinion that there had been winter racing
enough, and that oppor tunity should now
be given owners to rest their horses and get

lengths lead, with Red Rose second,
Charger third aud NippeT running last
This was tie order to the stretch, when
HinckY began bringing NIppeT up, passing
ice Harding first and then Charger and
