It was again about one o’clock : before the, first race ,was started, the Committee, having arranged not to start until after j the arrival of the train from Camara. There was very little betting on the races, and the totalisator was not very liberally patronised; The Maiden plate; was,a very hollow affair. Of the five on the card Lady Love, Little John, and the. Little Lady colt were scratched, and. May Mpra had an easy victory. The Steeplechase was also a hollow affair, Shillelagh being the only one of the horses to gp round. The haok selling Steeplechase produced a very good race, but the finest race of the day was the Autumn Handicap, in which the fopr horses ran almost in a cluster, until entering the straight, whep Chancellor; drew slightly away, and won a grand raca by a bare length from Tora, with, Blue Peter- A, good third.
