A GREAT YEAR 



Martin — who had started favourite for the Derby. 

 La La managed a small contribution, the Sutton 

 Selling Handicap at Birmingham. Greenmeadow 

 also did something towards paying his expenses ; after 

 five misses he won the Delamere Handicap worth 

 _£437 at Manchester. Lord Glanely has always liked 

 to support the last meeting of the season. Prior to 

 this St. Vitus and Sir Josh won a race each, the former 

 the Worcester Autumn Handicap, the latter the 

 August Plate at Birmingham, at which meeting it 

 will be seen the colours were often on view. 



Two new names also occur in the list of winners, 

 Maid of Sker, a three-year-old daughter of Collar and 

 Ormah, who did not appear till Sandown in October, 

 when she pleased her owner so much by the style in 

 which she won the Maiden Selling Handicap that he 

 paid 800 guineas to buy her in. It was her only 

 success, though she was a good second for a handicap 

 at Worcester, second again for an Apprentice Plate 

 at Derby. The other winner was The Waif, a 

 daughter of Isinglass and Sand Path. She came out 

 at Birmingham, running as the Sand Path filly, but 

 making no show in the Warwickshire Breeders' Foal 

 Plate. Four lengths was the verdict in her favour 

 for the Midsummer Two-Year-Old Plate at Worcester, 

 and after having been narrowly beaten at Haydock 

 Park she won the Burton Maiden Plate at Birmingham 

 once more. Rocksplit, who at the time of writing
