Schreiber filly Now Conley Coney on Spirituelle Spiritual being some lengths to the good looked around for Rush and took back his mount waiting for her to come up and win in order to keep the

was he ahead of Elidad Elided at the finish Sunny was second up the back stretch Prince Blazes third At the upper turn Sunny was done and the favorite Ollie Mollie Dixon made her run It looked as if she was gaining fast enough to catch the leaders when all at once she stopped Elidad Elided passing her The race for place was undecided until the final sixteenth where Elidad Elided passed Prince Blazes The latter finished many lengths better than Ollie Mollie Dixon alongside of which ran Friar John As Tus Tues ¬ culum culms awoke Friar John went to sleep was the story of the betting Tranby
