PEDIGREE OF PRINCE PALATINE 



carried off the Fern Hill Stakes from animals of 

 high repute — Mr. " Jersey's " Milford, Tanderagee, 

 who had won the valuable Imperial Stakes at 

 Kempton Park for Richard Marsh, Mr. R. H. 

 Coombe's Bill of Portland, and Mr. Wallace John-

In the National Breeders' Produce Stakes at 

 Sandown Glare started under the disadvantage of 

 having to carry 9 st. 6 lb., which meant giving no

 C. J. Blake's smart colt Delphos : she had a 10 lb. 

 penalty, he benefited by a 10 lb. breeding allowance.

 Glare, who followed him home, and in the circum-

 At Goodwood Glare was second for the Prince of 

 Wales's Stakes to the Duke of Westminster's Bull- 

 ingdon, who the following season ran Isinglass to a 

 head for the ^10,000 Princess of Wales's Stakes at 

 Newmarket, third place in this Goodwood race 

 being occupied by the Duke of Portland's School- 

 book, who was here encountering Glare for the third 

 time. Sir Daniel Cooper's filly met Bullingdon 

 again in the Buckenham Stakes, and this time beat
