In this order-they ran until reaching the bend, where Braw Lass lost her position, and Modwena still in advance came on with a clear lead of Harmattan, Laceman, and Brighton at the same time closing up with them, Crafton was in difficulties at the distance. Lace man was the first to crack, when Brighton then wont on, and took second place. Inside the distance the three placed signalled themselves out, and although Stechford closed up on the third that caught the " judge's eye," Modwena held her own to the end, aud ultimately won cleverly, if not easily, by a length and a-half.
