REAL CONSISTENCY

HACKS REPEAT PLA.CINGS

Form worked out with almost mathematical accuracy in the Seatoun Handicap. Not only were Great Pal and Jan Ridd again first and second respectively, but Lady Leigh was fourth again, and the third horse, Flying Acre, was not in the first day's field,, nor was the first day's third horse. Advance Plane, in yesterday's field. Such consistency is rare in handicap class on the racecourse.

Though the handicapper could not prevent a repetition of the first day's result, he made it a much closer struggle in setting Great Pal at 71b .worse terms with Jan Ridd. Great Pal romped home on Tuesday an easy winner, out he was doing his best all the way yesterday, and he had nothing

in reserve in securing the verdict by 3. nsck Great Pal drew much better on this occasion with No. 8 marble. Next inside him were Jan Ridd and Superior Guard, and these three were the early leaders. On making the crossing to the straight Jan Ridd had charge from Great Pal, Jazz Boy, and Superior Guard. At the false rail Great Pal drew level with the leader, and a little further on he had a small advantage, which he maintained to the post. This further success removes Great Pal from hack class. Jan Ridd ran another solid race, and although fairly beaten he easily accounted for the others. He will add interest to tomorrow's hack hurdles ii started over the fences. Flying Acre, from a wide marble, flnlished on best of the others for third place a couple of. lengths back. She was not too prominent early, but was moving forward as they came across to the course proper. Lady Leigh put in her claim halfway down the straight, but she was unable to carry it through for better than fourth. Superior Guard, actually in front early, hung on ior fifth, and Philemup made up ground for sixth. Jazz Boy ran an excellent race under his weight, not finally weakening out of third till .inside the last furlong. Silver Fox was best of the others Nelumbo and Mother-m-Law were handily placed for the first half 'of the trip. Potent, drawn wide, was [always near the rear.
