SUNNY SKY AGAIN.

FIRST DAY'S WIN REPEATED. : HISTORIC FINISHES WELL. TRUE SHAFT RUNS UNPLACED: BY ARCHER. '! Tho Cornwall Handicap winner, Sunny Sky, Was responsible for another good performance in winning tho King Georgo Handicap. As a result of heavy, support for True 'Shaft and Manawhenua slio was allowed to start at a good prico and- she always had' the race in hand over tho last furlong, wliere Historic, who* would lfavo returned " double figures to win, mado a great eifort to overtake her.

Silvermino anol Arikira were troublesome at tho post and Arikira' was badiy left.' Imperial Prince, Consent and? Huntingdon were smartest to begin, Huntingdon'landing along tho back from Consent,, Imperial. Prince, Refresher, Sunny ,Sky, Truq : Shaft and Baroscope. Huntingdon and' Consent were still the leaders at the half-mile, whero Sunny Sky had run up third ahead of Refresher, Silvermino, Baroacopo, Imperial Prince, Manawhenua and Chromadyne. Tho field was well bunched entering tho straight and Huntingdon just led from Sunny Sky, with Consent, Silvermine, Hampton Park, True Shaft and Baroscopo following in close order and Manawhenua showing up on the'outside. Once into the straight Sunny Sky mado an effort and alio assumed command at the distance to win by a length from Historic, who caino home 6trongly on tho rails. Huntingdon was two lengths away third and True Shaft was fourth. .Next to cross tlie lino were King's Archer, Tradesman, Baroscope, Refresher ind Manawhenua.

Sunny Sky is really good and slio won handsomely after waitinfe on tho leaders to tho straight. Historic came homo splendidly from a long way buck, for ho was never an the picturo until tho last furlong. Huntingdon attempted to win from end to end and battled on well to get third. Shaft, ran a good race and' so did King's Archer, who was closer .a the finish than at any other stng'e. Consent ami Refresher faded out in the last furlong and Manawhenua did not. finish as well as usual after being extremely wido out at tho homo turn. Tradesman' and Baroscopo both performed very creditably.

FAVOURITES IN DIVIDENDS. TOWN BEAUTY' S DECISIVE WIN. Investors , were well on tlio mark in the Bunt Club Cup. when the favourites. Town Beauty and Royal Visitor, finished first and second. On tlio fust day Town Beautv Was unfortunate in being brought dowji by another horse, but in this- race he was in front practically over tlio last two miles and won handsomely. -Tapapa led over the first fence, where Royal Reign fell. Tapapa carried on tho limning over the next fence, but ho refused at the. first fence ou .tlio lull. and Mashoor collided with him. with the result that both lost their riders. Town Beauty then ran to tho lead and he was in front at tho doublo from Day Lark, Absent. Royal Visitor and Koc-whi-whi. Town Beauty began to draiv away alonjr the back, whero Royal Visitor ran up second, and ho established a commanding lead coins over th© hill the second time to enter the straight well clear of Iloyal Visitor. Absent and Haakon. Nothing had a chance with Town Beauty at the finish and lie ran home an oasy .winner by four lengths from Royal' Visitor,who defeated Haakon bv ei&ht lengths. Absent was ' fourth, followed by Day, Lark and Cat-i-mes.. Tho winner gave a fine display of lumping and never'looked like being beaten after ho had taken tho lead. Royal Visitor ran another good rnco and Haakon again performed promisingly.. The others wero all well' beaten.

ROYAL GALLANT WINS AGAIN. PUSS MOTH JUST BEATEN. Two first day winners, Royal Gallant and Puss Moth, fought out , a gieut . finish .in ,the Rnnfurly Handicap and Royal Gallant just ' prevailed. Notwithstanding his success on Frida.y tho winner was again allowed t6 star't at good odds and returned • another double-figure dividend.' . ,• Tho ftaii was-.very. . uneven and DarkMarble, Abbey Que'gn and Reviver' -wero .among a innnber t<> -get away- badly.. Royal Gallant ran to . tho- fropt .quickly from Priricfess Bede, Snow Lap. Biiwthorn.- Piles Moth. Beacon Fire and Valueless. Beforo two fnrlorigs h'ad'b'den covered' Puss' Moth had run to the lead and he made ulav through tho cutting from Royal Gnllant. Princess ' Bede, Beacon Fire, Hawthorn. Woodfull, Alpina and Valueless. Just be* foro tho turn Puss Moth drew out slightly and he led into the straight clear of Royal Gallant, with Princess Bede. Beacon Fire. Hawthorn, Alpina. Snow Lap and Valueless. Puas Moth, was still in command at the distance, but Royal Gallant fought on gamely and got-up to beat him by a neck. Hawthorn was three-poatp of a length awny third and Beacon Fire was a close fourth. Next to finish were Grand Talk. Valueless, Lady Vane. Princess Bede and Top Lieht. Royal Gallant and Puss Moth ran right un to their first day's form and Royal Gallant, who was more patiently rif!den. did slicntl.y tho better at the finish. Hawthorn ran one of his best races and. Beacon Fire made a Kood showing with his weicht. Grand Talk was running on at the end and Valueless again shaped creditably.

THE FITZROY HANDICAP.

: SENESCHAL BEATS IMAMINT. The Fitzroy Handicap. was a fine totting race. Lord Val and Seneschal being equal favourites with a alight call over linamint. Lord Val had his chance completely extinguished when he was half-turned round at the start, but Seneschal - and ■ Imamint both ran fine races to fill the dividend places. Lord Val was hopelessly left 'arid Miss Albyn was also, slo v away. Imapiint began smartly and she carried on the running along the back from Booklaw. Holly Holm, Lyrical, Catch 'Em, Seneschal and Ltidy Spy. E'asßing the half-mile. Imamint just led Seneschal, who wa? followed by Lyrical, Booklaw. Holly Holm, Catch 'Em. Lady Spy and Glenrata. • Lyrical began to lose ground near the turn and Imamint was first into the straight from Seneschal, Holly Holm, Catch 'Em. Glenrata, Lady Spy and Nightguard. About a furlong from the post Seneschal ranged un on'tho outside of, Imamint and he went on to beat her by half a length. _ Glenrata was three-part of a lehgHi awav third, and Catch 'Em was .fourth. Close up followed Grand Talk and Nightguard. with Holly nolm, Mies Albyn, Lady Spy- nn.l Moonfleet. next. Seneschal is a solid customer and he finished just too well for ' Imamint,. who made a fine attempt to lead all tho way. Glenrata and Catch 'Em were both rimninrr on at the end. and so was Grand Talk, who C'uno from a, long wav back to get fifth. Nightguard and Holly TTolm both ran very creditable races and Miss Albyn did well after losing ground at tho start.
