WINNERS CONTINUED I/I 



Minister of England, Lord Rosebery, in 1894. The race 

 was worth ;!^545o, ^and the public accorded his owner, 

 the Premier, a tremendous ovation as Ladas flew first past 

 the winning post, followed next by Matchbox, son of 

 St Simon. Ladas was defeated by Isinglass by a length, 

 at Sandown for the Eclipse Stakes. He made his last 

 appearance for the year, in the St Leger at Doncaster, 

 September 12, and was again beaten by Throstle, a mare 

 by Petrarch, by a length, while Matchbox was third. 



The Duke of Westminster's Orme, both in 1892 and 

 1893, won the Eclipse Stakes of ^10,000. Lord Rose- 

 bery's Sir Visto won the Derby in 1895. Mornington 

 Cannon gained his first success when he rode Throstle, 

 the St Leger winner, and J. Watts' victory in the Derby 

 on Ladas gave him a great ovation. Tod Sloane, an 

 American jockey arriving in England early in October 

 1897, had ridden by November sixth, six firsts and three 

 seconds out of twelve mounts, a most remarkable average 

 to make in so short a time. St Simon stood at the head 

 of the list of winning sires in 1894, followed closely by 

 Isonomy and Isinglass.
