handicap, however, he went on and over
took Butwell. and was leading on the
backstretch when he lost his right stir
rup iron. Even thCt didn't feaze him,
and although II was hard work he hung
right on and kept his horse in the van.
The jostling at the last jump was too
much, however, and he slowly slipped
down the flank Of his horse and tumbled
to the ground just at the stand. Luck

away from his horse, so that he was
not hurt. Butwell, needless to say, fin
ished first, but when The Duke of Du-
luth came galloping in he was declared
the winner and the others were dis
qualified for not taking the flags prop
erly.

beaten Colin.
1t was race for maiden two-y ear-olds,
