Fergus was on the former, Howard on the second, and O’Connell on the latter the time being 4min 4sec, which could have been “itaST’'bolted away from the Maiden Hurdler, Native Rose, over a one and ahalf mile course. The old ’un seemed anxious to make the pace faster ; they got to the end of the journey in 3mm *7**>-s6c Papatu, Straybird, and Crespin then had a round over the big country and -acquitted themselves with credit, finishing in the above order. The. former fenced boldly, while Crespin with a bit oi seasoning should make a useful chaser. Messrs Roulston, Kidd, Davis and Len Marshall were present to see the horses perform, and also quite a number oi spectators took an interest in the lep- . TUESDAY.

Idasa ran over the same course by herself, taking a second longer. ’ St. Olga ran right away from Bono- ’ Tni an a. in a mile spin, the last six furlongs being done in Imin 26 2-ssec.
