Starting at the brush near the six-furlong post both gave a •splendid exhibition of jumping all the way. Krination showed ho ltad not forgotten hio fall at the sod wall on Saturday, for when ho reached that obstacle ho inado a magnificent jump. Over Iho hurdles, Cartoonist (Temperton) showed to better advantage than Colincamps (Anderson), who was inclined to jump too high, thus losing ground. He was very careful. Cuisinicr (Miss F. White) and a companion. (Temperton) also went; over four hurdles, the former rapping some of them. Miss Lcighon (Bowdcn) and Etruscan (Miss White) wasted no time when they went out to school oyer three hurdles. Both jumped well, with Miss Lcighon doing slightly tho better. The poles on the course proper were a long way out and lioites were galloping a fair distance over the tasks marked for them. The track was holding, but can bo said to be in good winter order. Myarion (Waddcll) and Tau-Uru (Kwan) finished on terms at the end of seven furlongs run in 1.39, and it was a good effort, both moving well throughout. Wings of Song (Redstone), who is coming to hand nicely, ran six furlongs in 1.24 4-5. Ho is a good galloper. Alter a slow beginning. Rcnascor (Waddcll) and. Lacan (Stewart) ran the first three furlongs of seven in 43sec and completed their task in 1.42 1-5, both running on well. Going at half-pace once round.

Rangitikci (BroughtotO and Inform (Slewarll set Die main ligures for tho morning whep they covered five furlongs in 1.9. In a. trial over mx furlongs. Gaelic Song (Caddy) was clear of Acrobat (Broughton) in 1.28. but they wore not knocked about. Star Zone (Waddcll) was sent over the saino ground and was under a hold to register 1.26 15. When in the mood he is a good galloper. Ridden by Broughton, Auburn Lad cantered a'ouml to the five furlong peg and then came homo in I.lo—a useful effort ou his own.
