THE GRADUAL RISE 



Lingfield in June he got home by a head from Mr. 

 J. L. Dugdale's Jack's Folly in the Ford Manor Plate. 

 This was the owner's first win, as small a one as the 

 Rules of Racing admitted, for the stake was only £100. 

 There is, however, always a special interest attaching 

 to a first victory. 



A second for the Brighton Highweight Handicap 

 to Colonel Michael Hughes' Southannan was the best 

 Goemon could do in six subsequent attempts, and 

 Mr. Tatem's name appeared in the list of winning 

 owners with the bare £100 to his credit ; for though 

 he had two other runners neither won anything. The 

 pair were Glen Clova, a daughter of Forfarshire and 

 Miss Lettice, a mare who now ranks as a dam of 

 winners, and St. Vitus, a son of Colonel Harry 

 McCalmont's good horse St. Maclou and Vetch. It 

 has always seemed strange that St. Maclou had not 

 more success at the stud than fell to his lot. Of his 

 capacity as a racehorse there could be no doubt. He 

 won the Lincolnshire Handicap with 7 st. 12 lb., 

 giving Sceptre within a pound of weight for age, was 

 beaten a neck for the Cambridgeshire, giving Ballan- 

 trae 31 lb., and won the Manchester November 

 Handicap with 9 st. 4 lb. Lord Glanely's horses, it 

 should be added, were trained by W. R. Baker at 

 Collingbourne. 



All the three mentioned won races, that is to say 

 each won a race, the following season. Glen Clova's
