Deer Glade led early then beat Prince Limerick by a neck in a tense stretch finish. The 5 furlong race carried a prize of £10 and featured Lion Meadow track regulars and multiple horses with odds highlighted, including Master Cobba and Danman Lad in the supporting events.
The June Race Meeting at the club was not strong financially but showed fair success on track. Attendance met the average, with 6 good entrants and 50 minute races. Cunningham’s team won four of seven events as betting moved and tea was served at the publican’s booth. The course stayed in good order despite rain, with slow times on a fairly dead track. Notable races included Ruse defeating Black Bees in a close finish and a strong Flying Handicap led by Prioce Limerick against Der Gturle.
Miscellaneous items list several names and phrases including Bowen Buckeye Denisonta packets and references to J T Mo ope Bell s Gully Bowen Phone Guiltyville and AL Ptores Bowen. The fragmentary notice hints at catalog or advertisement style within a local periodical.
In the Farewell Handicap a crowded field rushed to the straight with Scholar Gem setting the pace before Georgius challenged and prevailed by a length. Warlit finished four lengths back with Master Cobba and Lady Cobbodee among others in the modest 6 furlong dirt test.
