back, and Mosque tooksecand place to Horton*> Matin Bell coming next. So they went out' of sight, but on reappearing Eversfield had arrested: ' the Jead from Horton, while Castor had. drawn into third place in front of Matin Bell .'and Banter. Rounding the bend the pace had told •its tale on both E'versflefd and Horton, while Mosque, Dan Daticer, and Rotherham were clean out of it, and Castor taking up' the rnn-' niog, came into the straight, followed by Matin Bell and Banter with Tommy Tittlemouse and Bsllatrix drawing up. The effort to take his' place proved too much for the favourite, who began to drrp back, and half-way up the straight was passed by Matin Bell, who came in, challenged by- Banter, the pair drawing away. For a few strides the last-named lessened the gap, but Matin Bell held him safe, and a few strides from home Banter, crossing his legs, fell,leav-' ing Tommy Tittlemouse to finish second, four lengths behind Matin. Bell, Bellatrix, three lengths off, was third. Time, 3niin 42sec. ' Value of the stakes, £950. Thursday, June 21. SEATON DELAVAL PLfltfE,. Of lOOOsovs, for two-year-olda.
