Passing the village they ran neck and neck, but as the straight was entered Specul. ation was again foremost.

This race brought forth the largest field of the day, there being nine startera As the ponies passed the Judge's box for the first time Pathan was in the lead, with Sundial close behind, while Highlandman and Roscommon ran slightly in advance of the rest of the field.

Each spindle produced an average of over eleven lbs. per month.
