A GREAT YEAR 



to Mr. W. H. Savill's Carados and Mr. Z. G. Micha- 

 linos's Golly Eyes, the verdict a length and a head. 

 Nothing was sent to Chester, but later in the week 

 Lord Glanely, who is a Steward of Kempton Park, 

 supported that fixture, and did so remuneratively. 

 Though Dominion could not be described as a five 

 furlong horse he was backed at 4 to I for the Stewards' 

 Handicap over that distance, carrying 7 st. 10 lb. 

 Syndrian, a 9 to 4 chance, missing it by a head — that 

 of Major Holliday's Monte Faro — and Grand Fleet 

 tried again in the Jubilee, for which he at least did 

 better than the 100 to 6 at which he started seemed to 

 promise. Lord Jersey's Arion ran away with the race, 

 and for second place Mr. F. Hardy's Not Much beat 

 Grand Fleet by little more than a length. 



Every win counts however it is gained, and Sky- 

 rocket is to be credited with the Shelford Plate at the 

 Newmarket Second Spring Meeting. Odds of 25 to 1 

 were laid on him, for he had only a solitary opponent, a 

 shockingly bad filly called Jacana, who did not get off.

SHELFORD PLATE of £200, of which second reed. £20, for 

 3 yr. olds and upwards ; entr. £3 ; 2 middles miles of B.C.
