This should have been a. busy morning at Eiccarton, and a krga crowd of spectatoi's turned out in anticipation of seeing some good work.

The sun did not come out till late and comparatively few horses galloped! Later a fog made its appearance. Matu was one of the early /workersjumping eight steeplechase fences in good style. Muff ran six furlongs in 1.10 -2-5.. Riri, with Karaka over the last part, Tan seven furlongs in 1.32 1-5. Palantui covered six furlongs in 1.20 1-5.
