THE RACING DESCRIBED.

(Special to “Star.\

ASHBURTON. June 13.

In the Free-for-All, as the field raced down the back Man o’ War and Realm were in front and practically on terms; then came Logan Chief, Sheik, Acron, Onyx and Ahuriri. Three furlongs from home the field closed qp> and as heads were turned for home straight the colours of Man o’ War, Logan Chief, Onyx and Sheik were most prominent. Half-way down the straight the final issue looked to rest between Logan Chief and Acron, but Man o’ War responded gamely under pressure and defeated Logan Chief by a. neck, with Acron a head away third. Sheik was fourth, followed by Realm, Onyx and Ahuriri. Man o’ 'War retivrnod his supporters it

dividend of over a quarter of a century. Both Logan Chief and Acron paced brilliant races, and although beaten neither was disgraced, and under more favourable conditions might have versed positions with the winner. For a mile and a quarter Sheik paced a fine race, as did Realm. Onyx did not show her usual dash, and finished some distance behind the placed horses. Ahuriri was outclassed and tailed the field most of the way. BANKS PENINSULA RACING CLUB WEIGHTS DECLARED. (Per Press Association.) CHRISTCHURCH, June 13.
