CAMBRIDGE TROTS. ! THE JUBILEE MEETING. I IMPKOMFTU WINS PLATE. SURPRISE IX FINAL EVENT. The King's Jubilee meeting of the Cambridge Trotting Club was concluded at Cambridge yesterday in fine weather, but a very cold wind made matters rather unpleasant.

During the day the slim of CO.'iOS 10/ was put through the totalizator, making £1(5,177 10/ for the two days, against £7088 for the oneday fixture last year. Rare Rey Beaten. Itare Rey and Winawny carried most money in the Windsor Handicap, for which Ilome Brew failed to parade. Native Cole broke at the start and Rare Rey also lost several lengths. Going past the stands Winaway was well clear of Alexis, Rare Key, Kewpie's King and Lady Fame, while Native Cole was well back. Winaway was just in front of Rare Rey at the home turn, the pair being followed by Alexis, Lady Fame and Kewpie's King. In the run to till post, Rare Rey under pressure, bored out, and Winaway beat him by three lengths, with Kewpie's King two lengths further back. Alexis, Lady Fame and Native Cole followed.

Runs to Form. Roso Marble was the only defection from tho Sandringham Handicap leaving six to go to the post. Audo Patch, who had run third in the Balmoral Handicap earlier in the day, and Native Tree, who was second in that event, were tho favourites, with Gala Day next in demand. Hinewaa broke at the start and lost ground, Native Tree running to the front and leading past the stands well clear of Captain Bolt, who was followed by Audo Patch and Gala Day, who was moving up fast. Native Tree still had a good lead going along tho back from Audo Patch, Gala Day and Captain Bolt, and turned for home eight lengths clear of the field. Audo Patch challenged strongly in the straight, but failed to reach Native Tree-by a length, with Captain Bolt five lengths away third. Then panic Gala Day, Hinewaa and Bell Heather.

Bingen Chief broke just after going out of tho straight, and along tho back Nimbus was followed by Prince Pedro, Homeward, Impromptu and Bingen Chief.

Impromptu did best in the run Lome to win by a length from Bingen Chief, who finished fast, to beat Nimbus by half a length. Pegaway, Francis Lincoln and Homeward were next.

The Final Event. All went to the post for the Empire Handicap, with which the meeting concluded. Most money camo for King's Play, Bismuth a'tid Rockolla, but a surprise was in store, for the comparatively little fancied Bed Frontier won and paid a good double-figure dividend. The favourite, King's Play, tangled at the start and lost ground, the order past the stands being Gloster, Jean Parrish, Muriel Bond, Home Brew and Rockella, with Bismuth and King's Play next. Gloster was still the leader along the back from Red Frontier, who had run through fast, Cherrill, Jean Parrish and Rockella.
