Jupiter, Iyal, Waterbury, Whalebone, ,Eere, and Takapau also started*Takapau took the lead followed by Jupiter, Whalebone Ingorangi, and the rest in a clump. Rere fell and Waterbury baulked at the first jump, and Ivel also baulked at the third. Takapau led up the straight, his nearest attendants being Whalebone, Jupiter, Ingorangi, and Matchless, but at the first stone wall Whalebone came down, leaving the others still in. the same order on coming out of the Recreation Ground. At the back stretch Takapau and Jupiter ran neck and neck, followed 'by Ingorangi, Dangerous, and Matchless. Takapau and Jupiter instead of going out through the trees came along the course proper, and threw their chance away. Ingorangi, Dangerous, and Matchless, considerably in' the rear took the right course. The first two jumped the gorse fence leading into the straight together. Inporangi was first to jump the spar, and the pair came up the straight at a terrible bat, Ingorangi winning by a neck, Matchless a dozen lengths away third. Takapau after he mistook- the course turned round and followed the others, although hopelessly in the rear, but came down at . the spar and gave his rider, Wells, a severe shaking: Johnston, who was tiding Whalebone, also got a nasty spill.
