SECOND DAY AT RANDWICK SYDNEY CUP TO AKUNA SILVER JUBILEE SCORES.

(United Piws Association—By Electric Telegraph Copyright). SYDNEY, April 22. The A.J.C. was favoured with delightful weather for the second day of the autumn meeting at Raridwick. The attendance exceeded 60,000, which is the best for many years. The track was in splendid order. Proceedings opened favourably for New Zealand when Silver Jubilee won the La Perouse Handicap after a thrilling tussle in. the fina* strides. A 7 ista appeared to have a slight advantage a*" the half distance, but superb riding by A r oitre landed Silver Jubilee a winner by half a head. The stewards had an inquiry into the form displayed by Silver Jubilee compared with his form at Warwick Farm on April .13. After bearing liis connections they decided to accept the explanation. Bimilla proved the best'of the fillies. Makiug flic pace throughout, she won goiug away in the Easter Plate. Akuna, practically friendless, won the Cup after an exciting struggle in the final stages, half heads separating the three placed horses. Sylvandale suffered slight interference passing the three furlpugs due to King March suddenly dropping back, resulting in Sylvandale losing his position, which probably cost him the race. Gold Trail and Master Brierly were prominent for a considerable part of the journey, but failed to finish on. Results are: —
