PRINCE PALATINE 



Davison was a 'martyr.' If she had killed Anmer's 

 jockey, Herbert Jones, what would he have been?) 

 Judging from the manner in which Tracery was 

 going at the head of affairs five furlongs from home, 

 it is possible that layers of odds on the winner owe 

 their good fortune to the interposition of the friend 

 of the Suffragettes. But we need not enter into 

 argument about this, as in all probability before the 

 end of the year Prince Palatine, whose name is thus 

 added to those of the nine horses who have won 

 two Ascot Cups, will be provided with an oppor- 

 tunity of meeting Tracery again. They are both 

 in the Jockey Club Stakes, and there are one or 

 two other races into which they might be put.

 example of a Miss Emily Davison, understood to be 

 a friend of Mrs. Pankhurst, who had run out on to 

 the Epsom Course at Tattenham Corner, got in the 

 way of and brought down King Edward's colt 

 Anmer — had stationed himself at the bend at Ascot 

 just before the horses turn into the straight, and in 

 some way not easily understood had upset Mr. 

 Belmont's Tracery at a moment when his jockey, 

 Whalley, maintained that the colt was winning his 

 race. The betting shows how little such a result
