"S. used my mount's speed to get to the front straight away," he said, "and I was glad that St. Warrigal and Claremore went with me, because my horse does not like jumping alone. He Bwerved across a few fences. at. first, and ho sometimes \ 'pecked'•■■•. on landing. ibufc he was never off his .balance;" I was a little afraid of Claremore, but after he fell.l felt fairly confident. Ovev tho closing part of the race I knew_ I was going to win." The fee for tho ride was £54. . ■■ Dempster is a young and capable horseman, and he has had a fair measure of success over the fence 3, particularly in the South and on Mr. W. T. Hazlett's horses. ■ Saturday's was his first win in ari" important jumping event. He had charge of Paris and Apache at Trentham till their trainer. F. J.
