Commander‘Bell broke when In second place, and ,Waa passed by Jessie’s Dream, Taming for home - Rnmmy was still in. front, with Commander Bell and Jessie’s Dream two lengths off. In the/race to the Judge, Rummy., by General Pet—Kentucky ,maro (A. Pringle), tired badly and looked like losing to Commander 'Bell, .hut a lev strides from the post the latter left his feet in a pronounced manner, and Rummy scored by a length from Jesaitfe Dream, who was three-quarters of a length from Commander Beil. The coupled favourite*. Hula and Albert or la, were never dangerous. The November Handicap produced an exciting raca In the saddle. At the home turn Capprlcclo, by 0.Y.M.. (McDermott), moved up to Moorland (R. Lbgan), and Irvlngwood. . A keen contest ensued. Capriedo came out and won by two lengths from Irvlngwood, with norland half a length, away. Bellflower was scratched. Tarravlljo lost his chance at the start. The Bronzewing went weir bat failed to see the journey oat. .Unusual Interest centred Ut tho Courtney Handicap, the supporters of Moneymaker (A. Pringle), the Imported American stallion . Hal Zolock (Nyhan), the Hfstndiw-owned' Back Brie (J. Bryce), and EmTlins (McDonnell), being equally confident. Black Erie carried, several hundred, more than the second fancy, Hal Zolock.
