Below the distance Bay Ronald had passed Teufel. who also, in c >mpany of Diakka, resigned to Villiers. Amanaier, and La Sagesse in the next hundred yards. As Bay Ronald began to overhaul Balsamo, who had once been considerably more than clear, so did the other three just na ued single themselves out from the remainder. Thus we saw ,two exciting struggles, a* with Balsamo holding his own by half a length fro ca Bay Ronald, La Sagesse, who lost pecond place by three length.-*, was a short head in front of A^iandier and Villiers.
