A SMART TWO-YEAR-OLD
VANDYKE'S FIRST APPEARANCE
(By Telegraph—From "Vedette.") The Trial Plate at Hastings on Saturday was a triumph for the .two-year-olds, three of that age filling the' places. Ganpat,-the winner, is ;a fine big geld: ing, a brother to Gesto by Eord Qticx from. Queen Lizzie, datn^of. Tiegd; the second is it 'brother to. Paleta, and a neat galloper, who will improve' rii'ore than the winner: He iv'asf making his first ■public appearance.1 Acmil id alight Acre —Millinery filly who owed her placing to condition. The winner returned a good price, for in the big field wagering' took a • good range. ' ' . ■■■:•■■ , Arrowzono jumped out clear at the start, and was soon followed by Ganpat, Lady Lucerne, Lady Spy, Vandyke, Arrowhead, and Royal ■ Songster. Acmil raced up round the bend andled with Arrowzbne into the straight, from Ganpat, Lady Spy, Vandyke, and Lady Lucerije. Ganpat strode to. the front a furlong from home, with Vandyke doing well under pressure on the. rails. Ganpat came on to-win' decisively by a length from Vandyke, who beat Acmil by two lengths. Arrowhead was fourth, and then came Arrowzorie, Lady Spy, Blacksmith, and Hystride. ■ ■ ' Ganpat is likely to go on and do better things, for lie drew No. 18 at the bar-, vier and won easily. Vandyke , also is worth remembering. Lady Spy is a useful type, but not of the dividend-payers' class, and Blacksmith, a five-year-old by Arrowsmith from Venetian, is worth noting for minor events later.
