He did not move freely, but pulled up sound. All Talk and Waimai cantered round to the half-mile post, and raced home from there. All Talk was an easy winner. Loyal Arch and Kilrush ran six furlongs on the bit, and finished well. King Star (F. Douglas), who was in receipt of a lot of weight from Grim Joke (A. Wormald) was going better than the latter a the end of a smart schooling gallop over four flights of the big hurdleo. Tho Rand (L. Hagerty) and a chestnut hunter (F. Murfitt) set cut to do a round over tli3 country. Tho chestnut, who was very keen, turned a ecmersault at the second fence. Murfitt end tlvs geldinjf were not hurt. The Rand jumped well.
