302 THK RACING SEASON, lSi4. 



neither of whom took any thing by their motions. The 

 Port was remarkable for producing a race — a good race 

 too, won by Lothario. The race of the week was the 

 Match between Extempore and Ma Mie, the former beating 

 her opponent by a head. 



Passing by Catterick Bridge as nothing transpired to

The Newmarket Second Spring Meeting was a very flat 

 affair. The only race of any interest was the Suffolk 

 Stakes which The Cure won just as he liked, beating a 

 large field by three lengths. Mr Thornhill's game mare
