VICTORY FOR THE KING

NEWBURY SPRING CUP I LIMELIGHT'S NARROW WIN (Received April 2, 9.45,.p.m.). LONDON, April 1 His Majesty the King's first racing victory for a considerable time, and his most important win for several years, was =cored by his four-year-old , horse Limelight in the Newbury Spring Cup to-day. Beth the King and Queen >vei& present. Result:— NEWBURY SPRING CUP (Handicap), Of £1500; 1 mile LIMELIGHT, 'His Majesty's br hj, 4yrs, by Pharos—Vervains ■ .. ..1 SOLENOID, Mrs. C. L. Mackean's br li, 4yrs by Soldennis—Shannon Jug 2 FON.AB, J. A. Dewar's ch g, 4yrs, by Abbots Trace—Dawn-wind . . .. 3 Fourteen started. Head.; one and n,-half lengths. Limelight won three races in the early part of last season. In x reference •to him at the end of January a .London rAcing critic said:—Probably no horse trained at Newmarket will benefit more from the long vacation than will Limelight, who, but for his mishap after Ascct, would have had a great season. The line taken through Sisriri and Miracle, stretching from the Botesdale Handicap in Guineas week to the Prince of Wales Stakes at Ascot, suggested that if Limelight had been in the Derby ho might even have won it. But I doubt that Sigiri, who was receiving 211b from the King's colt at Newmarket, was as smart at a mile and a-quarter as over the additional three furlongs of the Ascot race. Be that as it may. Limelight was found quite clover among his age in the first half of the season. Although ho will very likely reenter the weight-for-age arena, his ono handicap venture- resulted so happily that ho will probably return to that branch also, and what 1 an ideal sort for the Hunt Cup. or the Cambridgeshire.' j - - TE AROHA' TROTS NEXT SATURDAY'S EVENTS DECLARATION OF HANDICAPS The following handicaps for the Te Aroha Trotting Club's annual-meeting next Saturday have been declared by Mr. C.
