As they ascended the hill the last time St. Musk was about five lengths in front of Wykernist, with Biform. and Roxy handy, British Sovereign and Bridegroom heading the others. There was not much change into the straight, and St. Musk i' limped the last fence jrust ahead of Mform. He looked the winner a hundred . yards from home, but then commenced to tiTe badly and run across the course. Biform, who was right on the outside, finished resolutely and beat him by a length and a half, with British Sovereign •even lengths away. Roxy and Bridegroom were next. Tea Chat was the only one to fall. • The Cardinal, after being well back early, put in a great finishing effort on the rails to win the Auckland Handicap.
