LATE SPORTING

*. THE OAKS TOBOGGAN BEATS SCUTTLE United I'rcss Association—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright. (Received Oth Juno, 11.50 a.m.) LONDON, Bth June, following is the result of the OAKS STAKES, a sweepstakes of 100 sows, with 12000 soys iiddod; for thicc-ye;ir-6ld iillics; weight 0.0; one milo iind a half. Lord Derby's b f Toboggan, by Hurry On—Glacier 1 Uis Majesty's br f Scuttle, by Captain Cuttle—Stained Glass 2 Souierville Tattcrsall's eh f llegere, by Grand Parade —Corrio ' 3 There were thirteen runners. "Won by four lengths, with six lengths between second and third. Scuttle was a very hot favourite. The result of the Oaks was a direct reversal of the One Thousand Guineas form, but the. longer distance and the change from Newmarket to -Epsom would possibly account for that. At Newmarket last month Scuttle won, with Toboggan seven lengths away in third place. Toboggan apparently is the bettor stayer of the pair. The result would be disappointing to the multitude, for a success for the Royal colours would have been popular. Toboggan's success would recompense Lord Derby in some measure for Fairway's Derby failure. Jurisdiction, who finished second hi the One Thousand Guineas, failed to gain a place in the Oaks. Flcgcre, who finished third yesterday, was not started in. the One Thousand Guineas. Last year she started five times' and at her last start recorded her best, which was. a modest third in a six-furlong two jrear-old handicap at Manchester.
