At the Doncaster meeting his Majesty .ho King scored his first victory on tho turf in the FitzwliUam Stakes. -The folowing is the result of the race FITZWILLIAM STAKES, of 5 sovs each, with 150 so vs added.. For two-year-olds. Five furlongs. King George’s ch c Pintadean, by Florizcl XL—Guinea Hen, 8.12 3 Count Lutzow's b c Svetec, by St Amant —Bello of tho .Season, 8.12 2 Mr L. de Rothschild’s ch f Eiderduck, by St. Amant—Widgeon, 8.9 .. 3 Sportsmen throughout the Empire .were delighted when it was announced that King Goorge, who had not previously shown much interest In racing, intended to follow in the late King’s footsteps and continue tho stud at Sandringham and also race horses of his own. During last season these were run in the name of Lord Derby, but this year they are to run in the Royal colours. As the Australian rider P. Wootton had a retaining fee from Lord Derby, it is more than probable he was the pilot for his Majesty’s first winner. One can readily imagine’ tho scene of enthusiasm as Pintadean returned to scale. ' The winner is one of tho youngsters bred by King Edward, his sire Florizel 11. standing at the Sandringham Stud Farm at a fee of 200 guineas. This stallion was got by Ft. Simon from Perdita 11., and is thus a brother to tho defunct Persimmon, winner of tho Derby and St. Leger and to Diamond Jubilee, winner of the Two Thousand Guineas, Derby, and St. Leger, who was sold for the enormous sum of £31,500 to a South American breeder.
