There was a record crowd at the Derby. Hundreds of Australian and New Zealand soldiers motored to the course. The Royal party travelled by train and drove from Epsom. They had a cordial reception, the cheers being renewed an hour later when Viceroy won. Light showers at midday tended to make the .ground treacherous, but it did not spoil the comfort of the spec- , tators. Panther remained a strong favourite. There was an enthusiastic demostration when tho King's horse, Viceroy, won the Stewards’ Handicap, Donoglme riding, in 9min. 4sec. There were nine runners. It was the first time the King had attended a race or entered d horse since the war. Panther’s restlessness delayed the start. He got away badly and was never prominent. DUNEDIN RACES.
