AT A FALSE PRICE

. WINDSOR CHIEF DUKE OF GLOUCESTER CUP (Special frcm "Hurry On.") NEW PLYMOUTH, September 2. Feature event on the* concluding day of the Egmont-Wanganui and Taranaki Hunt Clubs' Combined Meeting at New [Plymouth today was the leading amateur race, the Duke of Gloucester Cup. The winner was Windsor Chief. Windsor Chief was a decisive victor, and his prices were very false on top of his recent fine form at Riccarton. With a great run round the field from the half-mile, he took charge-before the straight was reached, and went on to score.in most illuminating style. Dv Maurier was ridden a perfect race by Mr. K. McK. Duncan, and he beat the rest-as easily as the winnexbeat him. Cuisinier came hpme strongly in third place, but Very Glad, after being one of the leaders most of the way, failed in the straight. Raana, after having every chance, was not quite good enough. No excuses also could be offered for El Meynell or Golden RidgC. A FINISHED EXHIBITION. Giving a finished exhibition of jumping Lacty Jim won the? Taranaki Hunt Club Cup easily at the end. She was ridden a patient race, and, ranging up alongside Little Briton about half a mile from home, soon took the measure of this* horse and ran on to score m effortless style by six lengths. Little Briton did not jump as well as he did on the first day. Car Leaf ran his best race to date, even though a poor third. Glenvane was prominent for most of the journey, but his big weight told its tale at the end. Cynical Jack lost his rider early and Bay Dawn, Civic Reception, and Blue Steel were pulled up. AN IMPROVED GALLOPER. Screen Star acted right up to his good form of the -first day by winning the Stratford Handicap all the^ way. He was soon in front and held all challenges at bay in good style in the. straight. Black Thread ran a fine race under his weight-but'found the winner too, good. Orate, who was always in the picture, was a close third. Winsome Lv finished well on the outside from a good way back for fourth. Rollicker, who was.fifth, might have been closer but for running wide at the home turn. Fils de Vaals was pocketed most of the way.
