In the straight both Mr Reid's fillies caught Trcntbam Rose, and Kil-mec-dy went on for apparently an easy win, but Killliim came again, and, both ridden light out, Killliim von by half a head, Trout ham Rose two lengths off.

Plymouth was fourth, All Ready and Briar Patch next. Time, Imin 43scc. NOTES BY OLD IDENTITY. Master Hamilton won the Hurdle Race very easily. He waited on the leaders till Boro had run himself out and Peerless and Glcnihorpe were tiring, then shot to the front, and got home as lie liked. St. Ouriu showed form in patches. Kilmeny was never .seen. Another easy win was Sir Tarka's in the Henley Handicap. On the first day 110 reced in spurts ; in thin event he did not get away ton well, hut ran so solidly as to have the race won two furlongs from home. Miirsa had run so well in the Publicans' Handicap that many gave her a chance iu the Anniversary Efandicap, and therebv picked up a. nice little dividend. Arty Wilson rude the mare cleverly. But I think she was lucky to \wn —lucky in that something happened to Margerinc. Dorrett's mare was lying handy for five or six furlongs, then got boxed in or suffered some misfortune, and when she did get clear it was too late, though she was defeated by only a head. Perhaps the boy on Maruoi'ino conul nob manage h-ev. Comely MiJiVned in that way, I feel pure. •She was galloping very .fast at the finish. Oxenhopo was never dangerous, nor was Miss He Val, and Rorkr’s Drift shut very carlv.

1 think that Bee was a little sore when started for the Hazlett Memorial Plate. Anyhow, she was slow in beginning, and the effort to catch tho leaders, coupled with tho advantage that Kocsian got by hugging the rails on the last turn, left her helpless as against Air (stead's cnlt in the straight. Ivoesian van right away from her, and paid a ridiculously big dividend* Mohawk, allowed to go out at a falso price' in 11 io Oiitnim Handicap, was really mastering his opponents all the wav. .Sumeiliing must have happened io him on the first day. He did not gallop like the same horse.

S-rui lien's smartness out of the barrier crave her an advantage* in the Domain Handicap, of which she was never fie]irived. Glyr.dish showed up better than usual, and easily beat, all the rest. In tin*, two-year-old. race, the- Cilv Handicap, the finish was between Mr J. B. Reid’s two fillies, mid tboy were tried out against each other, Mr Reid thus giving the public a. good sporting exhibition. T( was the more interesting from the fad that they are trained jn different stables. F. D. Jones trains Kilmecdv, and Q. Matthews has Kilflinn. Karan, favorite for the Suburban Weller. just failed to stay the mile. It was the_ point that some of his backers were frightened of. Jhaddeu.s delaved his run ami scored again for Wilsons'stable with a rather impressive run.

Jaynes r “Do yon remember Jinks, who usc-d to spend ul] his time writing poems about spring?'’ Baynes : “ Yes ; ‘and ha nearly starved to death doing it." Jaynes: “Well, 7 met him to-day, and lies looking well-led and propivarous." “What is he doing now?" Jaynes! “He's still in the same business, only now bin poems are about motor car springs, and He gets good prices for all ho can turn out.”
