handicap appearance on May 4, was In
the best possible condition. having worked
a mile and a quarter In 2:07 The books

even money for the place, ran second,
while Sydney Paget's Cairngerm, the sec

carry his colors to victory, and j. E.

Mr.. Keene was naturally elated after
the race. Beldame Is queen Of the
turf said he, but there is no doubt
after this performance that Sysonby is

colt seems likely to take his rightful place
