checked and lost another 48 yards when Anterior broke after two furlongs. Petite Sal set an easy pace with Chequer Board improving to join her before the half-mile. Petite Sai and Chequer Board cut at each other and drew ont by eight lengths racing down the back. Tuttla Tryax was struggling in third place, clear of the others.

Tutta Tryax was handy to the leaders at the straight entrance and soon drew past them. However, Chequer Board showed rare gameness and came again Short of the post. Tutta Tryax beat him by a length and a half, with two lengths to the tiring Petite Sal. Charlesworth was a fair

fourth, ahead of Sparkling Brew and Vilkiing Waiter, which was badly checked early. FINE TROTTER The hardy four-year-old Marshella gained her fourth win for the season when she held off Irish Earl by a head in the Johnny Globe Handicap. Marshella went to the front with three furlongs left and she was hotly pursued from then on. She showed gameness in a hard finish. Irish Earl was always prominent and took seond three lengths in front of Free Return, which ran on strongly over the final furlong. Fair Song got up for fourth, just ahead of Trapper, with Cover On beaten off next.

The favourite Snow Globe was forced over a tremendous amount of extra ground and she was beaten with a furlong left. She finished eighth, just behind Scotleligh, which did well after starting from 60 yards. Seven Nights broke badly and was puillied up RUNAWAY WIN Deep Acre, a three-year-old by Morris Eden from Fore in R. J. Kemble’s Te Awamutu team, gained one of the easiest wins seen for some time when he outclassed his rivals in the Adorian Handicap.

SPLENDID RUN Scottish Advance received a splendid run throughout the second leg and wore down the pacemaker, Calm Autumn, to beat her by a short length.
