A GREAT YEAR 



he shared favouritism with Goldgainer, and in the hands 

 of Donoghue won in a canter by eight lengths. Lord 

 Glanely was a liberal patron of the Irish Turf; but 

 his horses were primarily intended to run in England, 

 the Clare colt came over for the Newmarket First 

 Extra in August, dividing Benevente and Somme Kiss 

 for the New Coventry Stakes, designed to be a sub-

 event of importance. For the Wynyard Plate at 

 Stockton odds of i oo to 30 were laid on him and landed, 

 but next day he failed to give 1 2 lb. to Cheechako, and 

 found 8 st. 12 lb. too much in the Free Handicap, 

 which went to Zinovia, who was to win the Cambridge- 

 shire next year. Sweetness, a half-sister by Morena 

 to Argosy, showed some form. She was third to 

 Earna for a race at the Third Extra, and won a Maiden 

 Plate at the Fifth Extra, beating Old Drury, Sir 

 Berkeley, who was so continually backed and beaten

 Langdon Hills, a winner of the Great Metropolitan, 

 and Ferry, the daughter of Swynford and Gondolette 

 who created general amazement by beating that good 

 mare My Dear for the One Thousand Guineas. There 

 have been several surprises for this classic but none 

 more startling than the victory of Lord Derby's 

 50 to 1 outsider.
