" Nothing to spare " must also be written about 

 Lord Derby's Rosacre in the Belper Maiden Plate, 

 as it was only by a head, stated moreover to be a short 

 one, that he beat Powerful later in the afternoon. An 

 occurrence next day which created some surprise was 

 the defeat of Dominion in the Breeders' St. Leger. 

 He was backed at 13 to 8 on, and though the winner, 

 Chuette, was no doubt a good filly at her best, it is 

 unaccountable that Dominion should have been beaten 

 six lengths for second place by so moderate an animal 

 as Mademoiselle Foch. Obviously he could not have 

 been himself. Nurseries had now begun, and Cutty 

 Sark led the way in the Palatine at Manchester. 

 Whatever chance he might have had was lost at the 

 post, though it may be admitted that he was not likely 

 to have beaten Fair Simone, a really good two-year-old. 

 As is so often the case she lost her form after her first 



season.
