charming filly Lady's Mantle, after running third, 

 dropped dead in the Birdcage on her return for her 

 jockey to weigh in. Holy Smoke was second to St. Nat 

 for the Houghton Stakes, and second to the favourite, 

 Mr. Reid Walker's Desman, for the Osmaston Nursery 

 at Derby. Desman had just beaten him for the Aling- 

 ton Plate, so that the form was correct. As a three- 

 year-old Holy Smoke missed the ;^iooo Tudor Plate 

 at Sandown by a short head, and was beaten again by 

 a head for the Hastings Plate. He ran at Lewes for the 

 Nevill Maiden Plate, and for the third time was beaten 

 a head, by Drinmore. Wootton rode the winner, and 

 I think it may be said was more than a head. better than 

 Holy Smoke's jockey. 



King''s Scholar 



With King's Scholar Mr. Bibby was more fortunate. 

 This horse was a son of Your Majesty, the Persimmon 

 colt who won the Leger of 1908 amongst other races 

 including the Eclipse Stakes, the dam Don's Birthday 

 by Donovan-Tay by Bend Or, a mare still in the 

 paddocks at Newmarket. As a two-year-old in 191 3 

 King's Scholar was second in his first race to the 

 favourite Honeywood, who afterwards carried off the 

 Cambridgeshire. He was third to Stornoway for a rich 

 Biennial at Ascot, then third to Breakspear and 

 Soulouque for the Prince of Wales's Stakes at 

 Goodwood.
