honour, and that with the largest total achieved for 

 several seasons past. Towards the £32,926 15s. 

 Bridge of Canny, a son of Love Wisely and Santa 

 Brigida, did most. The colt had indeed a very busy 

 season, for he came out fifteen times in all, starting at 

 Liverpool the opening week and continuing until the 

 end of October. He lost the Union Jack Stakes at 

 Liverpool by half a length to Beppo, but just got home 

 by a head for the Kingsclere Stakes at Newbury, oddly 

 enough from another son of his sire ; and he proceeded 

 to win a Biennial at Ascot, the First Foal Stakes at the 

 Newmarket Second July, the Knowsley Dinner Stakes, 

 the Durham County Produce Stakes, the Great York- 

 shire Stakes, the Great Foal Stakes at the Newmarket 

 Second October, a Triennial, and finally the Gatwick 

 Stakes, worth that season £3742, £10,255 15s. in all.

 earner of stakes. She led off with the Oaks, £4950, 

 at Ascot took the Coronation, £2800, at Sandown the 

 Three- Year-Old Produce Stakes, £4357, and at 

 Liverpool the St. Leger and Duchy Plate, in all 

 £12,837.

 horse and the best horse was beaten ; but it happened 

 that the fact was plainly demonstrated in the case of
