The Carlton Stakes, al one mile It generally
thought that he would improve over his race IL
the Withers the week before. when he was beaten
head on the post by Frank Gill. He ran
brilliant race under perfect ride by Jack Mar
tin, and forced Dinna Ken, which had an eight
pound pUn in the weights TO run the mile in
1-3e 4-deto heat him scant half length in a
furious drive. The time was a new track record,
the old time being 80 %. made by Mr. Keene's
Commando when he won the same race in
1871 Sydney PageI's Charles Edward which
gauoped home an easy winner in his first start

proved his undoing, ths lightly weighted El
Cuchiilo' after forcing the pace most Of the way
held the big horse safe through the stretch and
won rather easily by three lengths. Ray saved
ground with Good and Plenty all the way, and

spite of the fact thai he was beaten T 6
