Lady Sonoma took charge after half a mile had been covered, the favourite being last at that stage. In the next half-mile he made up his ground very quickly, and, joining Lady Sonoma at three furlongs from home, by three lengths from Little Reta, who passed Lady Sonoma in the straight. »‘* * * Frisco Boy, an odds-on chance, won the Sprinters’ Handicap by two lengths from the second selection, Renown’s Best. Kewpie’s Bond and Elvo, led over the last lap into the straight, then the favourite got an opening and had the race won at the distance. * * ♦ • The Gamble-War Buoy bracket and King’s Play carried the heavy wagering on the Louisson Handicap. King’s Play skipped at the start, and Graham Direct, Rollo, and Willow Wave failed to leave their mark. Glenrossie led) King’s Play for over a mile and a-half, then the latter took charge and led into the straight from Glenrossie, De Soto, and Pot Luck. At the distance the of King’s Play used the whip, causing his horse to skip, and Pot Luck got up to beat him a neck, De Soto five lengths away third. Gamble broke at the entrance to the straight.'
