The racing for the Oaks was somewhat sensational - it was, in fact, fittingly described as "the hoax." Neither the "Favourite" nor even the "Favoured" among the horses won or gained places. WITCH ELM was completely outpaced. Mr. Joel's GLASS DOLL was the surprising victor, followed by LAOMEDIA and LADY HASTY. Twenty-five to one was the winner's starting price, and Mr. Joel won 4,500 Sovs, in Stake-money. Only eighty yards from the finish did GLASS DOLL threaten danger, and her victory was little short of electrical. Little or no enthusiasm was, however, shown by the spectators - in fact, disappointment was the general sentiment, alike on the stands, in the ring, and over the Downs.

Condition is Very Good.
