SOLE SURVIVOR'S STORY,

The story of the sole survivor of ! the Osaka Shosen Kaisha freighter Shoshu Maru," which went down off the Leochoo Islands last month with 44 hands, has reached the Nichi Nicki. Only one man of the steamer's crew survived the disaster and he was saved because he was sent out with a life belt in an attempt to get to shore and call for aid before the vessel went down. He tells the follow- 45ing story to the Nichi Nicks

The betting was as follows501 Polemarch; 100-6 Franklin; and 5-1 Westward Ho.

Franklin led for a quarter of a mile, when Tremola forged to the front and led the field six lengths at the mile. Entering the straight Franklin, Westward Ho and Craiganeran were racing abreast, but a furlong from home Polemarch took the lead and won easily. Craigaaeran, the favourite (1-4) finished fourth.

Franklin was ridden by Gardner, not by Hulme: Roman Fiddle by Hulme, not by Lane.

The following also ran :-Craiganeran (Frank Bullock), Roman Fiddle (Hulce), Milesius (Beary), Thunderer (Denoghue), Foundation (Fox), and Tremola (Beasley).
