some pretty good form. As a three-year-old 

 he won the Brighton Stakes and a handicap at 

 Lewes, and ran second both for the Esher Stakes 

 at Sandown Park and the Chesterfield Cup at 

 Goodwood. The next year he won the De 

 Trafford Cup at Manchester. In the season 

 with which we are now dealing, he started favourite 

 for the Manchester Cup and finished fourth, ran 

 second in the Salford Borough Handicap, third 

 in the Royal Hunt Cup, and second in the Ascot 

 Plate. He actually ran in the Cambridgeshire, 

 but was a forlorn outsider, whereas Falmouth 

 was the third favourite. They were both un- 

 placed. 



Between the two defeats with which we have 

 been dealing Isonomy won the following six 

 races : 



The Gold Vase (2 miles) at Ascot, beating Silvio (giving 

 7 lb.) half a length. 



The Gold Cup (2 J miles) at Ascot, beating Insulaire two 

 lengths, with Touchet, Jannette, Eimouth, and Vemeuil behind. 



The GooDv^^ooD Cup (2 J miles), beating The Bear three 

 lengths, with Parole (received 12 lb.), Touchet (received 3 lb.), 

 and two others behind. 



The Brighton Cup (2 miles), beating three opponents. 



The Great Ebor Handicap (2 miles), carrying 9 st. 8 lb. 

 (including a 5 lb. penalty) and giving from 31 lb. to 56 lb. to 

 his four opponents, and with 1 1 to 8 betted on him. This was 

 a great performance, a portion of the course being under water 

 and the going terribly heavy. 



The DoNCASTER Cup (2 miles 5 furlongs), beating Jannette 

 by a head, with two others a long way behind.
