Beddington, with ihe lightest weight and the inside running, galloped a mile and a quarter on the grass, maintaining a solid pace. Val Rosa and Maroon and Gold ,starting from the fiv3 furlong mark, after he had passed, overtook him in the run dow.'J the straight, making up a lot of ground, and Bedding-tou, ridden out in the last furlong, finished with the sprinters, Roselj-a bcung eased off. Vat Rosa carried a fair weight, and registered a good gallop, and Beddington's performance from a time point was a fair one. Cavaliero jumped a few schooling hurdles.
