Lough Neagh, revealing all his old time dash and pace, downed the stars in the EatVfeo'n Stakes at Eosohill ’on Saturday. Peter Pan,' although close enough to defeat Lough Neagh a furlong from home, rfas beaten by a neck. It is 1 contended 'Peter' Pan' is not the . horse ho was, as he completely failed to reproduce his devastating run in the'.straight-.' Lough Neagh was as sprightly after as before the race. SylvaudaloSyas a disappointment. He was going well in the early part of the race, but finished poorly. Garrio got' a bad passage, Voitre at tempting' more than once to push him through on the rails and receiving several checks. Spear PrincO created a good impression, leading the field to the straight. Gay Blonde won the Railway Handicap impressively, smothering the opposition at tho turn and stalling off a determined challenge' by Barak. Regular Bachelor’s third with 9.13 indicated ' t hat all' is well' with him. Red Rosebud, although she won the Three-year-old Handicap by only half a neck, met still opposition and her victory is all the more meritorious on that account.
