This meeting, which came off yesterday, must be distinctly scored as a success, aa __r as racing is concerned. Though Sultan won his race on-the flat in comparatively hollow fashion, the jumping events were ao well contested, and the .fields so good that no one could be dissatisfied with the Judges verdict, which, in each case, was not obtained without difficulty. The machine did not do much, we are afraid, but the sport was worth all the money. The total put through, including that retained for the Nana protest, was £&50. The following are the results :— Hcnters' Hckdle Race (handicap) of 20 soys. For qualified hunters only. Two miles, over eight flights of hurdles. 18. Mr Ktt"_ gm Squill 5 yrs, __t 31b (Owner) 1 B.
