Commenting on the Sydney Chip, the “Sydney Morning Herald’’ sas it was not a- particularly interesting race, but there was a fine thrilling finish. Sylvandalc and Dark Sky were fighting for supremacy when Akuna swept along and joined them in a punishing finish, in which none of the three faltered. They flashed past the post almost in line. The ‘Daily Telegraph’’ says that Akuna, who was well-hack at the halfmile, won the race with a finishing brilliance which overcame the advantage which the faster horses hail gained. King March slowed the field down almost to a cantor, but what the Sydney Cup may have lacked as a test of stamina was forgotten in a finish that outshone the great Doncaster battle on Saturday. Sylvan dale definitely was the unlucky horse of the race. The “Telegraph” points out that the winning jockey, Hanley, who is an apprentice aged 19 years, has only ridden four winners in 2) years.

West Tor endeavoured to make the pace all the way, but compounded at the -distance. Semper Paratus, who trailed the leaders, moved up at the three furlongs, and was in charge at the home turn. . Speed went after him, and in a neck and neck struggle Semper Paratus prevailed by the narrowest of margins. Three lengths (further back D-avistock beat Vertigern for third money.
