The latter showed the way at the stan and led to the bac!>. iviib Diamond Spray as his nearest attended. Once ihe suaiglil was readied Lee |hu in a fasi run Wa«ier Galahad and got up in ' i»i«j lo bent Sir Saracen b.v a bead. The winner, who was ridden a well-judged race, pant a nice dividend. There were tweiuy-liuee starters {or the Gvanity Trot, but punters went strong for'.'\gasenia. who carried l he greater part cf the investineins oil the machine. Buck's Head w„- the only pi ner supported lo any extent. ' I'lUJtto> were right on the mark as the pair had the race to themselves, the luni.er winning by Several lengths at the nni^h.

The i'reiddeut's Handicap was generally regarded as a g..od thing ft'l' Ole)'owl. who was backed down to a ))ese;t Gold-price. The Gienapp gelding was nl once taken to t-ho front, and being Well handled by Holmes ladled long enough to win by about half a length. Improve again ran a »uod race ami Had the distance been half a furlong fuvihti.' she would Intve beaten the favourite. Tlie Westport Handicap 'J'rot was tigain regarded as beit,; between AgasRiiiii and Hack's Mend. The. former wa.s backed down to well under evens, returning a very small percentage ol the |)oiilid for second money. U\ this Dvent Buck's Head trotted more kindly than in the previous race with the reKiilt that a great linish was witnessed. Duck's Head proved himself the better slayer of the pair and got the verdict bv the best part of a length. Both ore the makings of good "ties and will win aiiaiti in (lie near future and in much better company than they met on Saturday. . There were five starters in the I' arewell Handicap, and for some unaccountable reason Winning Number was neglected en the machine. As was nivdicted in the "Star" on Wednesday last the Gay Spark—Lerida colt was the onlv one in it at the finish, return ing the best dividend of the meeting. Mollymawk ran a lair race, as also did Florence, but ootid i? had any chance with the winner, who was well handled h.V Lee. V. Lee was the most successful horse-
