GOLDEN MAID AN IRISH OAKS WINNER. The Irish Oaks was run at the Curragh July 25. It is a race for three-year-old fillies at a mile and a half, and was won rather easily by P. Nelkes English-bred filly Golden Maid, bv Golden Rod Winnie K., by Best Man, with Mortimer Singers Grizzle Grim second and Sir T. Dixons Invermore third. The pedigree of the winner is of Interest to Americans, for the reason that her sire is a sou of Americas, which was bred by "Lucky" Baldwin and raced in this country as Rey del Caredes, being in turn a son of the American Derby winner and grand race horse Emperor of Norfolk. In England the filly was considered a member of a family noted for speed in sprinting rather than for staying, hut she stayed the mile and a half in such good style as to suggest a throw back to her staying Lexington and Glenelg Americau ancestry of her sires Bide.
