When the field jumped off, Tenakoe and Flving Prince, were the quickest to show out, with Envoy, Rove Song, Grand Tea. Vertigem, VEaglet, and Titree following. Llanore then ran through fast and across the top was in front, with Tenakoe following. Then came Plying Prince, Love Song, Vertigem', and Grand Tea. There was nothing between Tenakoe, and, Llanore turning for home, where Sir Russell was now up third., with • Vertigern, Flving Prince, Love Song and Grand, Tea prominent.

; There was a surprise in the Auckland Hurdles when the little fancied Master Lu, who carried < nlv out of a, good pool, came along' at tho end and downed the favorite Ltiminaxv, who was hacked to tftq extent of £1404. The second, favorite was Clnremoro. £789. while Star Comet carried £786. 4\nko King and Kairari went- out at the first where both fell. The others jumped well, but were soon sprung out. -When the stand was reached Mashoor was leading Luminary, Dark 'Prince, Dav Lass, St. Ames, . Star Comet, Master Lu and Claremore m that order. At the first fence along the hack,' St. Ames made a bad jump and was nearly down. Luminary had then taken .charge from Dark Princej Mashoor, -Day Lass, Star Comet, Master Lu, and St. Ames, with Claremoire a long way hack from the leader. Day Lass came down at tho second fence troin home, and Star Comet fell on the flat after .-getting over the same hurdi/e. Luminary led into the straight from Master Lu, who had moved up smartly, followed by Dark Princo and Mashoor. ‘ln the run to the iudge Luminary tired and Master Lu iheaded him to go on to wm by five lengths. Mashoor was onlv a peek behind Luminary, with Dark 'Prince fojirth, followed b-y lOlslremoro and .St. Ames.

Poupee saw the first-named win by a neck. Aspian was half a length away thin!. Then followed Movie Star, Princess Bode, ‘Gay .Court, and Ilk-

ley. Hunting Cry was the only withdrawal from the Clifford Plato, leaving a one-dividend efdd.to go to the post. Pegawav was favorite, with £2062, Nierlitmarch carrying £2026, and Concentrate £752. Nightmarch led out of the straight. The pace was slow Concentrate was second to him 'with Lady Pam, Fogaway and Toxeuma following.

Lady Pam closed on Nig/littnarch racing •to tlio home tux-11 and there was little between them.
