weight yesterday and Quarrel the lowest. To

Calmont,s Irish Car, 4 years, 80 pounds, was
third. Clorane 10 trained by w. Robinson mt
Iiddington, and with GanRway ruled as first
favorite for this years Lancashire in the adj
vance betting. Quarrel was n long shot.
He is a bay horse. by DiscOrd, out Of Free and
Easy. Hebron was backed more freely than his
stable companion. FL Dlablo. yet the latter had
n fair support in the market. Last year. with
l2O pounds up, FL Diablo was second to Euclid
In the Lincolnshire Handicap. He is a bay
horse. by Robert the Devil, ont of Tantrum.

can stand point.
