Irish ; King was the favourite on the totalisator, j but Garibaldi was also extensively backed. , Marmion was quickest away from a cap l ** l start, but at once gave place to Garibaldi, who led over the first hurdle and past the stand, closely attended by Teddy, Mainboom, and Irish King. Passing Cutts, Garibaldi was still in front, with Mainboom and Teddy at his quarters, while Irish King had fallen baok, and Marmion was heading the ruok, of which Seoretary and Golden Butterfly were tailing off. Going along the back stretoh and past Ford's Garibaldi and Teddy drew clear of the rest, and Irish King moved up, but the latter again immediately retired, and Mainboom and Marmion went on in pursuit of the others. As they swept into the straight Garibaldi, Teddy, and Marmion singled themselves out from the rest, and ran a great race home under the whip. • At she rails it seemed for a moment as if Teddy would get up, but Garibaldi stayed the longest, and got the best of a magnificent struggle by half a length, the same distance separating the second and third horses.

Tanored's Forester, Sst 61b (Vaile) 3 Meteor, Titbit, Rsgina, and St. Ives also started. Russloy was a strong favourite on the totalisator, and Forester was also well bsoked. After three or four breaks-away, during which Forester showed a strong disinclination to go up to his horses, the field was despatched to an indifferent start, of which St. Ives got the worst. Forester and Meteor were first to show in front, and this pair was followed by Regina and Kusßley, with the Bard at their heels.' Forester was a couple of lengths clear as they ran into the straight, and going on, appeared to have the race at his mercy, but at the distance Russley, coming with a rush, challenged the leader, who refused to try any further, and allowed the favourite to win by a length and a-half. The Bard beating Forester by a neck for second place. Time, 1 min 17£«ec. Totalisator dividends : Inside, £2 10s 6d ; outside. £2 9s 6d.

Clifford's b g Cruohfield, by Cadogan— Puriki Bst 71b ... ... 0 Maxim was a hot favourite on the totalisator, but there was no betting in the ring. Gipsy King rushed to the front immediately the flag fell, and made the running at a tremendous pace round the turn and past Cutts, with Maxim a length away second, and Cruohfield and Sextant atsimilar intervals. Approaching Ford's Sextant moved into third place, and Cruohfield at once commenced to tail off, whilst at the Kennels Maxim went up to the leader, and a furlong farther on he was a length clear of Gipiy King and Sextant, who were running neok and neck ten lengths in front of Cruohfield. As they made the top turn, Gipsy King drew up to the favourite's quarters, but entering the straight Maxim was again clear. Two furlongs from home the pair were under the whip, but Maxim always had a little the best of the struggle, and ran home a clever winner by threequarters of a length, Gipsy King beating Sextant by a neok for second place, Cruohfield being a dozen lengths away, last.
