Bonogne ran three furlongs with a heavy weight up in 38Jsec. The two Bisogne mares in E. Murtagh’s stable went three furlongs in 39 sec. Bisox, by herself, ridden along, went half a mile in 51sec. Roman went a mile, but was not out to make time. Euchre, San Fera and Glengariff went two solid rounds separately. C. Jackson was busy with the stock whip making Shut-Eye jump two fences. He is improving each time he jumps. Killoeh jumped once round over five fences by herself, jumping carefully. Sunshot moved scratchily the first time round, but warmed up as he went along.
