Going past the stand the first time, Beau Cavalier was in charge from Llewellyn,'- Kawini, Comical, Glenotus, Ornahu, ‘ Royal Abbey, Tuki, Dick, Mount-Marta' and Passin’ Through.

-Comical 1 -and Beau Cavalier were together along the back, but at the fence, %• r the ; 'six furlong post. Beau Cavalier 'fHendersoh) fell. Going up the hill, » Comical was well clear of Kawini, Ken-

\ dal and Omahu, with Llewellyn, Tuki, ;• Mount Mart'a, Passin' Through and !;■ Glenotus next. .Comical was still in *" charge as they came past the stand the last time from Kawini, Omahu, Kendal, Mount Marta, Passin' Through, '■■'■ Tukv Royal Abbey, Glenotus and Dick.

Glenotus, Kendal and Llewellyn pulled up, the lastnamed: being very lame when he.returned' to the birdcage. Taggart, the rider of Comical, received a bruise to his collarbone. Henderson was shaken as the reittlfc of his f a h> ana - m consequence was hot able to ride Archibald in the

Campbell Hurdle Race. ?■'. Comical jumped well until lie came to and at the time looked as it" he wquldhave been one of the hardest to beat had he stood up. '!'Tuki' "finished seventh in the Great Northern Steeples on the second day, ap.clJh.is performance did not impress, IbeSijg allowed to go at a very long price t6-"dayi' ; ;Kawini ran a really good race, and wasi unlucky to have been beaten again. -This 'horse'has hot had a great deal of

Juek over the. big fences. .Ciriahu went well and was one of. the leaders 'ascending" the hill'the last time, but tired and was beaten into third place. „
