COUNT CAVOUR’S DERBY.

FAVOURITE BEATS SECOND FAVOURITE BY HALF A HEAD.

DETAILS OF SECOND DAY’S RACING. The public picked the Derby very accurately at Riccarton to-day, the first three horses finishing in the order of favouritism, but it was the closest finish imaginable. The crowd was large and fashionable, but warm nor’-west weather gave place to an overcast southerly. RESULTS AT A GLANCE. MIDDLETON HURDLES —Frisco Mail 1, Sir Wai 2, Red Kriss 3.

The attendance, as is always the case, was not equal *to that of the first day, the main contributing cause being that there was not a general holiday in the city. In addition, the gods of chance had not been very kind on Saturday to the people who placed too great a confidence in their ability to pick winners. and these consequently lacked the spur which a good day provides to get back again to carry on while the luck holds. Early in the day dust clouds at the south-western corner of the course threatened to obscure the horses somewhat at that particular point, but the dust was not so pronounced later on, rnd the visibility was. on the whole, good Following are the results: MIDDLETON HURDLE HANDICAP. Of 300 bovs; second horse 60 sovs and thirl horse 30 sova from the stake. Once round and a distance. 2 FRISCO MAIL, .Mr TV Delargey's I* S- by San Francisco —Lady Victoria, 6yr«, lOst. 131 b <G.
