None of the other 10 New Zealand horses engaged ran into a place. After unsuccessful visits to Sydney two New Zealand horses, Borsalene and Auslerity, are to be tient back to the Dominion on board the Ulimaroa. When J. T. Jamieson left Auckland for Sydney with a team of 1G horses on June 13 it was confidently expected that ho would soon strike form on the other side, and he realised expectations by winning at Mooicfield on Saturday. King March is a two-year-old black gelding by Rossendalo from Queen March, and is owned by Messrs. O. Nicholson and Eliot R. Davis, of Auckland. Before going to Australia King March had raced on only four occasions, and he was deemod unlucky not to have won at his last start here, when he finished third in the Victoria Handicap at Ellerslio at Easter. Now that he has struck winning form it is probable that ho will soon add further to his laurels.

When Royal Minstrel won last year there were eight runners, and this year's field of It was the lurgest for some time. The Aga Khun started his two colts, Rustom Pasha and Blenheim, in the Derby last month, and Kustom Pasha was considered the better prospect of the two, but he failed to stay and missed a place, whereas Blenheim proved a sound stayer and gained a surprise win in gallant style.
