land suffered serious trouble three furlongs from home, or he otherwise would have repeated his previous success at the meeting. Mr. M'lvor was again not too happy in his dispatches, but in some of the events got his fields away on even , terms. The fields showed a tendency to ' shrink, but this was not surprising in view of the stronger attractions following at the New Year Meetings. The management left nothing to be desired. A SOLID FAVOURITE WINS. Portside went out a solid favourite for the Milburn Hurdles, and, after, being always handily placed, won a good race by a neck from Frisco Mail, whilst Red Kriss, after making mistakes at every jump, was a head away third Penury Rose struck at the first hurdle', and bumped his rider out of the saddle. Wapping did his best to shirk the Stand hurdle, and slipped up and flattened out the wing.' Frisco Mail.ran a good race, and, after being patiently, handled, just failed to make good when called on for a final effort. Red Admiral ran a fair race, but failed to see it out after being in charge after rounding the far turn. ; \ OPHIR'S WIN. ; Jubilant.was backed to a short price in the Fernhill Handicap. A bad start was made. The riders were taken by sruprise, and Jubilant, who was not up to the barrier, got hopelessly left. Cumbrae. slipped, the field, and landed in the back, stretch wis a lead of eight lengths-in front of Obligio and Goldspinner', who were followed by Ophir, Jubilant away back. Ophir closed on $ne, .leader,,as they rounded the far turn, and, leading into the straight, won all out by nearly two lengths from Cumbrae. Hungry Hill was close up third, and then came Goldspinner and Jubilant. The favourite made up so much ground that she was_unlucky lose. CIRCULATION SCORES NICELY. Victory' Bond was supported to the extent of about 150 tickets better than Circulation in the Juvenile Handicap Quickform" and Victory Bond, followed by. Circulation, beat the others off the (mark, and the two drew well clear of Joyeuse at the end of a furlong. The leaders-turned for home together, and Circulation, without being seriously called upon, won nicely by two lengths from Arpent, who finished on well, and got up in time to beat Victory Bond a neck for second place. Quickform finished less than a length away, fourth. ANOTHER FAVOURITE TO THE FORE. Listening Post was 'regarded as easily : the pick of the field in the St. Andrew's :. Handicap,, and at one time lie was show--mg much" less than even money. He up at a longer price, but still a prominent favourite, and justified the confidence by - coming in the straight and winning handsomely, easing up at the finish. There was a good go be- I tween Rivalry and Mantua for second honours, and the lightweight just got there. Mountain Lion, Kilfane, and Gay ; Juliet faded out, and Ravenna also ran ■ a bad race. •- SUCCESS FOR BUGLE NOTE. Most of the money came for Moorland and Geranial in the Grandstand Handicap. They got away to an excellent • start, from which Dancing Days at once .drew clear. Dancing Days led Bugle ] erri ntO v the strai Sht> and Ayrburh ■and The Harp were at the tail of the held. They were in close order just inside the distance, and Bugle Note came on-and won by about a length from Ayrburn,, who, with The Harp, finished on well, and were separated by a neck as they flashed past the post. Fulmar who looked to have a chance inside the distance, was close up fourth,, with Ger- . .anial.... Moorland tried to' get' an open»«•.target:up, and he was lame after 'the race. , ■;■ ": :': -"TOMMY DODD'S RACE. Tommy Dodd and Eaton Bells monopolised the betting in the Taihoa Handicap, but, whilst the former won nicely the latter was never in the picture as a possible, as she never got near the leaders. Sun Up, Clontarf, Tommy Dodd, Bonnie Olive, Apple Dighlon, and Taboo were first to- show out. Clontarf led lommy Dodd .into the straight, and then the latter cams away, and won by a length from Clontarf, who beat Sun Up a couple of lengths. After the placed lot came Maytime, Apple Dighton, Bonnie Olive, Hurdy Gurdy, and Peho. THE CONCLUDING EVENTS.
