AS A TWO-YEAR-OLD 



Mr. Ernest Dresden's Monte Fiore, 8 st. lo lb. B. Lynham - 



Major Eustace Loder's Canvas-back, 8 st. lO lb. W. Saxby - 



Mr. Leopold de Rothschild's Lindoiya, 



8 St. 10 lb. D. Maher 



Mr. E. F. Schiff's Laelia, 8 st. 10 lb. - - A. Taylor 

 Mr. W. Hall Walker's Burnt Almond,

Mr. E. A. Wigan's Diableret, 8 st. lo lb. - S. Donoghue - 



5/4 agst. St. Nat, 5/1 Prince Palatine, 6/1 Lady Frivoles f., 

 lo/i Lindoiya, Laelia, and Canvas-back. Won by | length, 

 I J lengths second and third ; Laelia whipped round at the start. 



One may suspect that if anyone had been allowed 

 a choice of the runners in this Biennial he would 

 have had little hesitation in choosing St. Nat. The 

 following season, however, all that St. Nat could do 

 was to win a ;!^500 Plate, while the animal he beat, 

 Prince Palatine, was speedily and surely advancing 

 to eminence. 



The colt's second appearance was ambitious. He 

 came out in the National Breeders' Produce Stakes 

 at Sandown, the day after Lemberg and Neil Gow 

 had dead-heated for the Eclipse Stakes five lengths 

 in front of Placidus, who was another of the colts 

 in the lot purchased from Colonel Hall Walker. 

 The Prince's reputation was growing, and he was 

 nearly favourite for this ;!^5000 prize, though 

 finally passed in the market by Mr. Neumann's 

 Cellini, a son of Cyllene and Sirenia, who had 

 been kept specially for the event and had been 

 galloped particularly well at Newmarket. Lord
