At the adjourned enquiry into th,e Sydney Cup accident, in which Six horses fell in the straight, the stewards found that it was accidentally caused. Tempean, who won a double at Blenheim yesterday and paid good prices, is by Hymettus from Temperance, and runs in the colours of Mr F. A. Jensen, of Mastertoii. :i ' : - . | Gloaming, looking well, arrived in Wellington by the ferry yesterday morning, and during the day Avas on* trained for Hastings. Haze accompanied him, and R. J. Mason Avas Avitli the pair. Masoii galloped both horses at Eiccarton on Thursday morning. Gloaming and Haze jumped off together -at the six furlong post oil the grass and kept together for three furlongs, Avhieh they left behind in 37sec. Then Gloaming drew away, finishing up his task in 1.14 4-5, a fine effort. When the Winning post Avas reached he was three seconds in front of Haze, avlhi carried G. Young, and Avas not ridden out.'Gloaming, Avho canned a light Aveiglit, Avas going on Avell at the end of a fine gallop. In his last gallop before leaving Randwick, The Hawk easily ran a. mile in 1.50. Mr J. M. Cameron, owner of The HaAvk, expressed regret at .leaving Sydney, as lie expected to find the Ncav Zealeiid Avinter very cold. He Avas pleasantly surprised on arriving here to find how mild the iveather was. He had to come across on business, and he thinks the Hawke A Bay Club, Avhieh has had a lean time, will be able to do with the lift along which a. meeting between Gloaming and The Hawk Avill ensure. After the Hawke’s Bay meeting The Hawk may lie spelled, but it is likely he avi 11 return to Australia in time for the next spring meeting at Randwiek. The Marlborough Cup yesterday only attracted six starters, and in a good betting race Kalakaua Avas the public fancy. From a good start Pronto rushed to the front and passing the stand she led Sanctuary, Kalakaua and Lady Gay. Entering the back stretch Pronto Avas still clear of Sanctuary and Kalakaua, Avho AA’ere on terms. Five furlongs from home Pronto had been joined by Sanctuary, AA’hile Kalakaua and Lady Gay Avere racing together just ahead of CroAvn .Star and Stream. The field bunched on'the far turn and into the straight, Avhere Sanctuary, Pronto and Kalakaua were in a line. Kalakaua momentarily, looked the'winner, but CroAvn Star came Avith a strong challenge, as did Pronto,, and in a fine finish Crown Stay won, by a, long neck from Pronto, Avho beat Kalakaua by half a. length. Sanctuary Avas fourth, and Lady Gay next.
