James's b h Salmon.Leap, Salmon-Trout'?—Stony Pord, 4yrs, 9.0 ....... 3 T.eu started. . -Won. by a short head, five- lengths between, second and third. .Trimdou, winner of this year's Ascot Gold Cup, England's principal ■. distance race,'! has recently v been spoken of. : by English critics as one of the most promising of the younger stayers, and the result of yesterday's race justifies the opinion. Last year he was compelled to. cease, public, activities after .winning the Ascot Vase, two miles, so that, in fc racing sense, he may be said to: be younger than his years. The Ascot Vase effort disclosed that he was a better horse at the particular distance than over the shorter journeys he had previously . tackled.---Last" "•• month he was sent out a strong favourite for the Chester Cup, two miles 'and a quarter, but he was beaten a length by that great stayer," Brown' Jack, after having tailod ,the field for the first half of tho contest,' and then having raced up to the leading division half a mile from home. That ho did not finish on more stoutly disappointed some, but evidently he1 was not quite tuned up, and he has jiow made full amends; His win yesterday was very narrowly achieved over last year's Sfc. ; Leger victor, Singapore, but the pair appear to have beaten everything else' very decisively. • An interesting point is that. his entry was "sealed," and was not disclosed till after the running of the Oaks. Such entries aro allowed by the conditions of the race. . ' ■ .; '
