Donee was fourth, and then came Worthy Chief.

Kewpie's Triumph Again. There were only eight starters in the Papatoctoe Handicap, Pegaway being elected a firm first fancy, with Great Parrish and Kewpie's Triumph next, test backed. Pegaway was smartest to begin and led along the back from Prince Pedro, Kelp, Great Parrish, Brenthght and Kewpie's Triumph. The last-named moved fast and had taken charge passing the stand from Great Parrish, Kelp and Prince Pedro. Kewpie's Triumph was still the pilot into the straight with Prince Pedro, Brentlight and Kelp in a bunch just behind. The leader finished best in the run home, and went on to win by three-quarters of a length from Prince Pedro, with Brentlight four lengths away. Kelp was fourth, and then followed Direct Morning, Great Parrish and Pegaway.

The Concluding Event. There were nine defaulters in the concluding event, the Henderson Handicap, and when the machine had closed the favourites were Wee Machine, Prince Etawah, and the Guid Hairst bracket. Princo Etawah was in command when they settled down from Guid Hairst, Great Fame, Wee Machine, and Jackie Thorpe. Passing the stand Guid Hairst just led Prince Etawah, Great Fame, Mazda and Wee Machine, but going across the top Wee Machine sprinted and was in charge into the straight from Guid Hairst, Great Fame and Mazda.
