that many have made up their minds al ready regarding the Derby result Johnstone never once used his whip, and won in a center by two lengths. Victory Dahlia's rider commenced whipping his monat half way along the zum for home and seemed to have plenty of work to do to secure second place. However, with a longer distance, it is quite possible that we shall see a change of positions to day.
When Victory Dakia was led in it was quite surprising to see how fresh the pony Jooked Those who bave drawn the pony in a sweep have no need to be dispirited.
