Dividend, £3 2s. .A protest was entered by the owner of Topsy 11, on- the ground that his mare was not started' at; the proper time.

The stewards, however, after hearing evidence dismissed the protest. DISTBIOT HACK BAOB. '■ One mile. No weight under 9st. ' 29-Mr Boas' Blufcskin ..." (L Smith) 1 14— Mr T Driver's Gamecock ...

Stable Jacket held his advantage into the straight, with Cassowary second, but Mayflower then; came with a determined rush and for a moment put the result in jeopardy. Her rider,; however, trying to- squeeze up in -inside running, got jambed against a flag, and the mare ran right off the course. Stable Jacket was therefore left to come in an easy winner, Cassowary being the only other horse to finish. Time, lmin 30sec. There was £153 in the .totalisator.
