'(By "The Toff.") J. L. Webb's black horse, Kohara, won the New Zealand Trotting Cup m an airy manner from Cardinal Logan, which suffered two inconveniences on the trip. j/OHARA began fast and was early m **■ a handy position. With a round to go he avus head and head with the leader, Logan Chief, the pair going to •the 'ten-furlong disc m 3.4 2/5. Going out of the straight, Kohara had Logan Chief doing his best. As they flew past the twelve -furlong peg m 3.39 4/5, Kohara drew out from i Logan Chief, Peter Bingen, Man o' War, Prince Pointer, Cardinal Logan, Black Admiral, Loganwood, Great Hope, Audacious, Talaro and Great Bingcn., As they negotiated the mile and three-quarters, the watch read • 4.14 3/5. Kohara, was just at the head- of Peter Bingen, Man o' War, Prince Pointer, Logan Chief, Cardinal Logan, Loganwood and Great Bingcn. In the race to the judge, Kohara held his advantage to win by. two lengths' from Cardinal Logan, which finished m great style. Man o' War was a similar distance away third and Great Bingen fourth. Acron, Sea Pearl and Queen's OAvn failed to move off properly. With five, and a -half furlongs to go, Gardinal Logan suffered interference, which he unintentionally passed on to Sea Pearl, causing Imprint and Great Bingen to go very wide to avoid a smash. , ■ The incident cost Great Bingen fully six lengths. , Th'e winner was driven by Bryce; son of J. Bryce, and is by Cathedral Chimes from Bright Alice.
