 owner, and winner, and the jockey were Yorkshire. 

 An objection was entered against the winner, which

 America. The nominal value cf the stakes run for in 

 1832 was 3,075 sovereigns. 



Galata, the property of Lord Exeter, won both the 

 One Thousand Guineas and the Oaks, taking honours 

 in the latter race by two lengths, beating Mr. S. Day's 

 Lady Fly (second), and Mr. Sadler's Eleanor, by 

 Middlcton (third). She was ridden by P. Connolly, and 

 started favourite, with odds of 5 to 2 laid against her. 

 Nineteen out of the eighty-three entered ran. ' As St.
