Meredith), Settling Day 7.12 (B. Sebire), Lady Clare 7.10 (W. M’Guinness), Clarette 7.10 (W. Barnett), Lady Hubert 7.10 (F. Williams), Brown Betty 7.10 (A. Mitchell), Footsteps 7.8 (G.

Andrews), Prevalent 6.10 (J. Hughes), and Seedtime 6.7 (V. Horton). The start was really a splendid one, the ponies moving off in line, but the field was soon spread out, and those that failed to get a place early—the favourite, Helena, was amongst the number—were shut out, and their ehnees lost. Won by a length and three-quarters. A length and a-quarter further away came Miss Mayfield third, whilst Taree was half a length further back fourth. Brown Betty was fifth. Fuse, Clarette, Duet, and Mighty Atom next in a bunch, whilst the last two were Glad Tidings and Ballanite. Time I.4sec.
