ACRON'S VICTORY

Free-for-All Race PACE TELLS THE TALE From the word go Acron clapped on the pace m the Free-for-all to such a tune that with six furlongs covered he had his opponents at Addington fighting for breath. He clashed off his first two furlongs m 30sec, his half mile m 1.1. At that stage Great Hope, Machine Brick> Great Bingen, and Logan Chief were following him closely. Then at the tanks, Great Bingen mastered Great Hope, Logan Chief and Machine Brick and, turning for home, he was a length behind his stable mate, Acron. From there on Mr. J. R. McKenzie's representatives had the opposition silenced. Acron finished a length m front of his stable mate m 2min. 4 3-ssec. Both horses pulled up well, and looked as if they could have ; put m an extra kick had anything come., at them over the last furlong. Machine Brick has only been m New Zealand twelve days, yet despite his voyage from Australia he filled third place, running the mile m 2min. 5 3-ssec. \ When he is right at the zenith of his form he will make it hard for the others to beat him. Logan Chief was off color, and with seven furlongs covere.d Great Hope fell back into the ruck. ' Realm was last all the way.
