He is not engaged to-morrow, but may contest the Urenui Handicap on Saturday. I 1 ilberl and Red Sun covered half a mile in 5-1 2;55. Rod Sun appears to have benefited by recent racing. Ohanga ran a milo in 1.50, Liberal's Mint joining in at the half-milo, to run right away, in 535. Saxon Tor displayed his usual speod to dash over threo furlongs in 375, a smart effort. Filotto took 3S l-5s for the samo distance.

Brunhild gave Clessamor three lengths start to finish on terms at the end of six furlongs, the last fivo in 1.7. It was a sound effort on the part of Brunhild. Phaleron did better than Cherry Bay at tho conclusion of half a mile in 535, finishing particularly well.
