Royal Amphora was unplaced in the first division of the Highweight. In the Camellia Stakes he made a brilliant finishing run but struck trouble in the straight.

NEW ZEALANDER PULLS UP LAME. Rec. 6.45 p.m. Sydney, Sept. 16. Nightly appears to have thrown off his leg trouble again and was raced at Rosehill yesterday. He pulled up slightly lame. „ , It is still doubtful whether Custodian (N.Z.) will run in the A.J.C. Derby, and Sir John, whose training was interrupted by bad weather, is also unlikely to be a starter. DONCASTER YEARLING SALES. BEST TURNOVER FOR TEN YEARS. Rec. 6.30 p.m. London, Sept. 15.
