outJumped his opposition from the
Dreak and at no stxge appeared to be
IA serious trouble: Musty, racing un-
der the stoutest OF restraint, followed
IN closest pursuit, while the others
were well punched. Brigadier General
TOOK on at several OF his fences, a
long way from the brush, but cleared
them with ease. Musty failed to riss
properly to the fourteenth fence and

of the third race, which engaged a
field of two-year-olds at one mile, in

by eight lengths. The Salubria

break and set fast pace for his

lead at the far turn and crossed over
sharply, interfering with Rustic. The

den by Jockey Marinelli, counted for
the fourth race in drive over ]. X.

! considerably. When the break came
the field left in good alignment. Billy
Kelly was the first to show in front
| and Claver took him under restraint.
