London, May 9. Lancashire's cricket supporters received a shock to-day when they learned that the champion county had been beaten by five wickets by Middlesex at Lord's in a match that was concluded in two days.

Favourites Win Races At Last Meeting

(By "Captain Faster")

The Fifth Extra Mecting must have been a joyous day in the lives of followers of form, for I don't think I have ever seen a day's racing anywhere when the popular choice rolled home so consistently. In a cord of nine races six favourites won, two ran second and only one failed to place. Combine this with perfect weather, perfect going, plenty of exciting finishes and a big fat dividend to gladden the hearts of a few heretics and unbelievers who backed Bayardo in the last race, and you have a complete picture of last Saturday's racing.
