There was a fair attendance, attracted in the main by the presence of Arnst, onetime cycling champion, now the world's sculling champion, and Trembatli, the ex-amateur Australasian champion. Arnst competed in the mile aud Otago Wheel Race, but failed to gain a place, being obvijus-iy out of condition for cycling. The Sheffield Handicap, 135 yards, was won by White (12 yards') iu Utsec, with Sanson (3J yards) second, and Treinbalh (3 J yards) third. The Otago Wheel Race went to Uelcher, who had the limit of 350 yard?, in smin 3see; Cusack, 05 yards, was second; and Dennis, 105 yards, third. Arnst just failed to qualify, in tea heat.
