Hart finished second from scratch in the 440 yards open handicap. He was superior to YV. Johnson, the half-mile champion oi Auckland, but had too severe a task against the winner, G. Usher, who received a etart_ of 54s from him. A. Carrier, is, and K. Foster, 3s, were second and third respectively in the 100 yards final, won by J*rankham.
