Coming round the bend Isos and Picturesque were still at the head of affairs, and they turned for home with Airloch and Warroo as their immediate followers.

The two gallops Grand Rapids had at Caulfield last month, in the Balaclava Stakes, one mile, carrying 9.9, and the Malakoff nine furlongs, carrying 9.5, evidently impioved the Gipsy Grand gelding. Also Dividend, who was unplaced in the last-named race, carrying 9.7 They next appeared at Flemingten on the 19th August, Mr Maitland dropping both 51b.
