Gray's term of disqualification expired last week. Eligible won tlio Gold Cup at Trontham in very smooth style. Only Indigo and lin I boa opposed him. but the raeo was full of interest, and at oaa

time some of ilio spectators thought ■ there was going to bo nil exciting finish. The three-year-old, however, won comfortably at the finish. Petruchio took no part in the Pacific Handicap at Trentham on Saturday, as lie would not lfcave the mark. This colt will do well presently, when ho is more accustomed to racing. Ceaso Fire won the race very handsomely, after always being in the leading divi- • > sion. She is by Field Battery from tho Wanganui Cup winner Truce. ■ j Sir George Clifford had a good day ~ at, Trentham on Saturday, when Adjutant and Battle Eve won the two principal handicaps. The Martian colts ran well, and finished gamely, and acquitted themselves of the charge of not running their races out. Adjutant set tho ?- pace at the start of the Autumn Han- /... dicup, but was steadied and allowed [ to come out and win at the right time.,; v Battle Evo was, of course, helped by v his light weight. His style, was" good, and he will benefit by tho racing at Trentham. . Thcro wore one or two sensational incidents connected with tho Plunkei • \ Nursery Handicap at Trentham on 1 Thursday.
