She Handled the going well and came home in good style. Royal Message tried to win all the way, but she weakened over the last half-furlong. Nevertheless, her performance was encouraging. Beeswing, wbo finished third, wae making her first appearance in a race and her showing indicates that she will prove useful. When they were let go. Royal Message, Perillus and Bronze Moth began beet, but when they had settled down Royal Message had charge from Bronwen. Odtaa. Bronze Moth.

The latter after tailing the field till half a mile from home was first over the last fence and won very easily. He was ridden a very confident race by R. E. Thomson. There were several mishaps. Hopalong falling at the first fence, while Baldric came to grief at the fence by the three furlong post on the second round, and Tutor toppled over at the final obstacle. Rozel. Tutor and Agog were the first to break the line, this trio leading past the stand from Baldric and Bryce Ktreet, with Pyrenees several lengths awav.

Pyrenees led over the last jump to win by three lengths from Rozel, with Bryce Street a similar distance away. Agog wae the only other horse to finish.

He Liked It Heavy. RewlliDg in the heavy going, Hi«b Delight won the .Suburban Handicap impressively, drawing right awav front the held in tie last half-furlong. This horse is likelv to go on to better deeds, as he was some distance from the leader*' in the middle stages of the race Romani put up his best effort since the spring, while Maxam tried to lead from barrier but failed to see out the distance. Maxam began quickest from Huntingmore. Romani and Aero King. Maxam was followed crossing the top by Romani. Aero King and^Huntingmore. with Pasture handy and High Delight following. Thev ' turned for home in that order, but High Delight came fast on the outside and won comfortably by a couple of length* from Romani. with Maxam the same distance away. Bonnybelle was fourth, followed by Huntingmore, Pasture, Orwere and Full of Scotch. Results: — MOAXA HANDICAP of £230. Sis furlongs. 3—BRnxWFN. lir in. 4yrs. by Cambria Park—Recipii. (Mr. C.
