There was a' verv large attendance, which included manv visitors from all parts of the Dominion.

The fields were quite up to the average strength, and the racing was interesting. Details are:— WOOLSTOX HANDICAP, of 200 sows; Apprentice riders. Six furlongs. 4 T.

When (he stand double was reached Golden Grape and Leaflet were in charge. Here Dunmure fell and Leaflet lost ground. Golden Grape had established a useful lead at Cutts's, Leaflet and Lawsuit heading the others. Once Into the back straight Bill Terry and Lawsuit improved Iheir positions, and at the Kennels double Lawsuit was showing the way to Bill Terry. The pair race round the top turn almost on terms, and rose at the last fence on terms, but Lawsuit came down. This enabled Bill Terry to score by a dozen lengths from W'icklow, who was two lengths in front of Golden Grape. Southerner finished a furlong back. Time, smin 12scc.

Golden Prince was followed over the Kennels double by Ormesby, Merry Lad, and San Sebastian. Setting a strong pace, Golden Prince led past the stand from Oakleigh, Ormesby, and Merry Lad, with Stone Ginger toiling hopelessly in the rear. Once over Cutts's fence Oakleigh ran up to Golden Prince, and, going strong, the pair opened up a useful lead from Ormesby and San Sebastian. The leading pair were practically on terms as the Kennels double was approached, the second of which saw Golden Prince part company with his rider. This left Oakleigh right out by himself,and, jumping in great style, he won very easily by six lengths from Crib, who put in a good run over the last six furlongs. Six lengths further away came San Sebastian, the only others to finish being Merry Lad, John Bunny, and Stone Ginger. Time, smin 2sec. SUMNER HANDICAP (flat), of 200 sovs. One mile. 3 P. A.

Racing round the top turn the positions were the same, the i leading pair being followed by Carmine and Chaeronia.
