Ben Eion's chance for the race was discount.. ed by the slb. penalty he had to carry. Black Pansy accordingly claimed good patronage and Master's mount (Dwarf Rose) as usual had a good number of backers: The more adventurous ages staked spyte fivers on The Fride of Cadrow for a big "div" which, they did not get. The start was from the Football Stand. Manchurian Chief had the best positing near the rails, with Dwarf Mose right out. Man churian Chief was left behind when the flag dipped and Dwarf Rose showed first. Man- churian Chief was not slow in making up for his bad start and at once rushed up to the lead- er. At the climb Beaufort was second and closely following him his stable companion, the Pride of Cidzów was last. At the village then Ben Elon and Black Pansy together the
