Croker's Filly Takes a Race.
London, June 6.-At the first day's racing of the Brighton spring meeting today Richard Crocker's bay filly Wantage Belle by Loyalist, out of Wanda, beat Barrow's brown gelding London in the race for the Hassock's plate. This race is of 200 sovereigns for 2-year-olds, distance about five furlongs.
Wantage Belle was objected to for crossing the track, but the objection was afterward withdrawn.
The Royal is the highest grade baking powder known. Actual tests show it goes one-third further than any other brand.
