Schilling got this clever Iiiiy of running and
made every post a winning one. Orphan Lad
came on with determined rush at the end and
almost got up in time to nip CoIloquy at the
wire. Had ]. Lee made his bid little sooner ne
would have caught the f1lly.

already Colloquy. Escutcheon and Cold
Proof all had admirers. but the play on Col!oquy
was not particularly heavy. as 1t was believed
she would not be able TO carry the weight
Orphan Lad, the other starter, was held at 10
