stewards of the Jockey Club for final
adjudication.
The prompt action of the stewards
met with the approval of the host of
racegoers at the track. Etruscan,

sprinters on the turf, ran like a dray
horse on Saturday. With his four
legs encased in bandages he showed
no speed and was beaten off by Com

pounds less and beat a much bigger
and classier field, including Compare,
without doing his best. But he wore
no bandages and was at the fancy

closed probably is the most successful

Banks resources, 1t was pointed out,

are brighter as a consequence. An
added reason for jubilation is the In
