...great success in point of the size of the audience. The programme was a very interesting one, as the selections were made from at least three different schools of modern music, and gave a splendid opportunity for comparison and contrast.

Ashe'87 on the 28 yds. mark. Ashe ran most easily and fast, goodwin not beginning to gain tell half way up the back stretch.
