Still at 1.40 when Lady Grey Ment out to the post to qualify for half the stake for the Hunters Hurdle lUce, there was a fair attendance. The ground was very sloppy, but overhead the weather was pleasant. The walk over was an unfortunate beginning \ but ifc was owing to Invader's owner being unable to get a railway box for him, and Jiilmarnock's inability to get to the course m time.
