Leo's grey Mufti (Me. Kriger)

Dalton's white Rocket (Mr.

MeDonnell).. 1GL.J Another very open race and the first distinctly tchite race of the meeting; Tientsin lin these Intter days has quite gone off whites and greys. For the first five quarters (34, 1.74, 1.43, 2.18 and 2.52) the field was all of a heap, the successive leaders only showing noses. After this Kingsland began to assert himself and in the bend led by a Hength, but ence more the crowd, led by Mufti, closed up and came level. The mile and a half took 3.25 and showed Kiwisland once more to the front, the aged Bismavel: (he is known to be 16 years! and as Reichskanzler won several races five or six years ago) leading the crowd. The last Quarter differentiated then: Kingdand winning by five lengths, Bisnarel: half-a-length before Recaucke. Time, Smins.
