There was little change in the order as they went round the top turn, land St. Curio landed into the home straight : with a big lead.

I Banian stood oul in a class by himself in the Suburban Hurdle field, and though he was conceding close on jl'our stone to most of his opponents I that did not deter backers from making him a very strong order. He j ran an excellent race under his big j load, but did not fence nearly as [smartly as on Mondav. St. Curio jtook charge al the end of half a mile, i with Compulsion heading Ihe others, jAt no subsequent stage of the proceedings was the result in doubt, for , the North Canterbury representative jumped cleanly till reaching the last j obstacle. Here he pecked badly, but lit made no difference to the result, for on the Hal he had altogether too j much pace for the opposition. I Banian struggled on with Ihe utmost | courage, and outstayed Critic for I third money. Eight smart two-year-olds lined up for the Spring Nursery Handicap, 1 and their shiftiness at the barrier taxed the patience of the starter. j When the barrier went up Ample and Lovesick both swung round, losing several lengths. Mountjoy looked to I have winning prospects at the distance, where be had just settled the pretentions of Lingerie and Elocution. Then Ample came with a fine effort, and defeated the Karainu representative by a length. It was a I remarkable performance on the part lof Mr Stead's filly, for in the early I stages of the journey she was standling Mountjoy up fully half a dozen lengths. ' Two Wellington representatives in Seadown and Gold Soult monopolised the belting in the Avon Welter. Clynelish and Leading Lady did not begin wilh the others, while Seadown was slow to get going. After Findhorn, Yes. and Comely had : forced the pace till well into the home straight, Gold Soult worked | his way to the front and looked all ■over a winner. Inside the distance i Black Ada threw out a strong challenge, and, favoured by her light; : weight, just got her head in front as the post was reached. Bunting, who j was purchased by Mr E. J. Watt yes-, terday, and ran in the Hawke's Bay spoilsman's interest, was putting in; good work at the finish. Seadown! never got near the leading division, while Findhorn and Yes faded out! rather badly at the business end. j The Canterbury Cup only attract-1 | ed four starters, two of whom in Snub and Wardancer hailed from | i the same stable. After bis line race j in the Derby The Toll' was naturally , made a strong order, and he looked; all the belter for his earlier effort.: i Aynsley's pair made play on terms till heads were in line for home. i Then The Toll' closed on them and ! had their measure in a few strides., ! The only remaining interest was i the final effort of Indigo. He took I second place at the distance but fail- j ■ed to make Ihe least impression on j Mr Stead's representative who won j in most impressive style. i t
