Kaipaki Kill appeared to have the race won at the distance but Nelson's Glory, linishing fast, got up to shade him on the post. Win I iiru was fourth followed by Golden Journey, Dome Guard and .Master Wrack. Hilda Potts was a “certainty” beaten in the Great Northern Trotting slakes, in that lie lost nearly twenty lengths within the first half mile and then finished right up fifth. At the time when the mishap occurred the favourite was out in front and pacing smoothly on the rails. Racing out or I lie straight, a seagull, that had been resting on the track, new up causing Hilda Potts to swerve across Hie course and pull up. E. J. smith then sent his charge in a hopeless quest and to make up the leeway he did at the end was striking indication that he would have won comfortably had he had an uninterrupted passage. Taking the lead alter the favourite was disposed of. Free Again was still in charge as they raced to the turn and lie held on in an exciting nnish with Golden shadow to shade the latter by half a head. Bonny Find was third; with Pirate’s Jewel right up fourth in front of Hilda Potts, willi a gap to Our Machine, Manonee and Koherou, who failed to go away correctly. The consistent Davoy Day, taking the initiative along the back the last time, withstood the determined challenge pi Grand Dame in the closing stages of the Adams .Memorial Handicap to take the decision by the narrowest of margins.
