The day was flno and the attendance good. Again tho racing was excellent. Favourite Beaten. Rocket was a good favourite for the Higlrweight Handicap. Jayson ana Capo Fair lost ground at the start, but soon joined tho bunch. Palace mado tho running along tho back and was first into the straight ahead of Chief Line, w.ih Rocket nicely placed on the rails behind them, and Cape Fair and Blacksmith making runs on the outside. Rocket, who was favourite, and Chief Lino fought out the finish, Chief Linel winniug by half a longlh. Palace-and Flower dead-heated for third place, a couple -of lengths away. After the placed horses came Gape Fair,- Blacksmith; Jayson and Full Mark. Rooket was just beaten by his weight. Chief Line has improved. Cape Fair lost ground- at the start but afterwards ran well* Trial Plate. The Trial Plate produced a good finish and a surprise result. Acfoii' and King Thomond were tho first to show out and they carried the field along fast, but at the five I'utlongs Shining Gold, who had got away badly, ran to tho front. Shining Goiu held his lead well into , the straignt, but finally gavo way and Cardinal Aloon uashed up on the outer. Ho was challenged by Kamal Pasha but shook him off to win by a neck. Cape of-Good Hope, who was one of tho leaders at tho home turn, was two lengths away third, and Shining Gold was 1 fourth, followed by Acron and Iviug Thomond. The winner is useful, and one worth watching is Shining Gold. Awapuni Success. Beginning well from the rail position in the January Handicap’Royal Bengal led along the back from Alartian Chief, Tippling and ' Arrow Lad. Tippling moved up crossing tho top and followed Royal Bengal into the straight. There Gay Court, Tahoma' and RancJngli were' handily placed. Alartian Chief finished best of all the leaders, but in tho last half furlong La Alodorno swept up on the outside and beat him by half a neck. Royal Bengal, who 'was third, was three lengths away, Gay Court was fourth and Shatter, Glenvanc and Ranclagh next. La Modcrne’s performance was ex-

ccptionally good. There is no doubt about her class. Arrow Lad ran. a fair race for a while. Martian Chief will still further improve. Glonvane should havo been in the money. La Poupcc fell six furlongs from home but neither she nor her rider (K. Voitro) was in-’ jured. The Nursery. In the Nursery Handicap Fracas led on to the course proper front Red Manfred, with Safari and Porotiti at the head of the others. Red Manfred did not stick to his task well and Fracas ran ou to win woll by a length and a half from Sweet Agnes, who finished solidly to cut Red Manfred out of second place. Porotiti was a fair fourth, then Safari and Colossian. Guarantee and Porotiti got away badly. Sweet Agues finished very fast, but Red Manfred did not run on. . W.R.C. Handicap. The Wellington Racing Club Handicap was another good race. Tout lo mend led through the straight and passing the milo post was clear, of Princess Argosy, Jaloux, Joio de Val, My Own, Red Sun, Concentrate, Royal Artist and Retract. Royal Artist and Red Sun improved their positions in the run along the back. Tout le Mond was first in front of Princess Argosy turning for home, where Jaloux, Royal Artist and Red Sun were handy and Retract w r as coming round on the outside. Tout le Mond held his lead to the distance whore Red Sun looked like winning, but eventually had to be ridden out to beat Retract. Tout le Mond was a close third, Jaloux fourth, then Princess Argosy, Joie de Val, Concentrate, Royal Artist and My Own. Red Sun won nicely, but had Retract not been sore he would have been the victor. Tout lo Mond went one of his best races and paid a great price for third. Douro Cup. There wmro numerous scratchings from the JDouro Cup which was won with great east by Aiguille. Illuminate led out from Navaho, Drum Fire, Bee Acre, Purse and Courtyard. Beau Gallaute and Tippling were slow away. Crossing the top Navaho had charge from Courtyard, Bee Acre, Grand Review, Purse, Niggerhead and Aiguille. Navaho led into the straight from Grand Review, Bee Acre, Aiguille and Courtyard. Navaho led halfway down the straight where Aiguillo was brought along and quickly sottlod the issue, winning by a couple of lengths. Navaho was three lengtns in front of Purse, Courtyard was fourth, Niggcrhead fifth and Importance sixth. The winner went right away at the finish and would havo been very unlucky to have been beaten. Illuminate showed speed, but did not stay. Beau Gallaute and Tippling lost their opportunities at the start. Down Straight Six. Lack made the early running in the Metropolitan Handicap from Refresher with Ruling Light, going well on the outsido. In the straight Ruling Light drew out and won very nicely by a length from Refresher who was half a length in front of Lack, w r ith Lordly Knight, Orapm, Autopay, The Quorn and Miladi next. Refresher ran a good race and was beaten by a good mare. Orapai wms given a lot of warming up prior to the si-art, but was not good enough ou the day. Inflation finished strongly from the back. A Dead Heat. The day's lacing concluded with a dead heat in the Camp Handicap. Good Hunting and Haulbowliue led on to the course proper from Beaconsfield.
