Howe, of this town, ran third in the Jubilee Handicap, and also appropriated the Friendly, Societies' Cup. 'The first named event was. worth £15 to the winner, while £6 10s was awarded to second- hum, and £3 10s to the third (Mr Howe). The race was won by Smith, a limit start man, Scott being second. The final event was run "in mud and twilight,!' so says our contemporary. The prize'iri j the Friendly Societies' Handicap was a silver cup valued at £3 10s and 20s added.
