A GREAT YEAR 



The luck was not equally good at Hurst, where 

 Quantavis, a Quantock filly, and Somerset Lassie, 

 made little show, and Goodwood was to be a blank, 

 though to the Duke of Richmond's meeting the stable 

 only contributed a couple of runners. Scatwell, with 

 8 st. 10 lb., fancied for the Stewards' Cup and backed 

 at 5 to i, proved unequal to the occasion. Here 

 Irish Elegance was favourite at ioo to 30, and 

 for once the handsome chestnut, burdened with 

 10 st. 2 lb. was to fail, Sir H. Cunliffe-Owen's King 

 Sol gaining an advantage at the start which he never 

 quite lost. Starshot, like Scatwell second favourite 

 for his race, the Charlton Welter, did no better, 

 finishing unplaced to the first favourite Misty Morning. 

 Alexandra Park as usual wound up the Goodwood 

 week, and brought out a colt of class who had only 

 been seen once quite at the beginning of the season, 

 The Midshipmite, a son of Stedfast and La Favorita, 

 who was to do excellent service. Not mentioned in 

 the betting The Midshipmite won from the favourite, 

 the moderate Gunyah occupying that position.
