The former finished in front and was impressive. Yesterday morning, Count Roussillon (Markley) was led over three steeplechase fences by Bolls of Bow (Lawson) and therl cleared tho double alone.

Shining Spear was schooled yesterday and again this morning. He was sent twice round at a good pace on the first occasion and cleared four fences. He was inclined to dwell in his work, but would have done better with- a, companion. t ■ *• ■
