The excel lent sport afforded by the different events, combined with the evident de termination of the spectators to enjoy themselves, resulted in a very plea- sant afternoon, and although almost every race the favourite justified expectations, the running. especially toward the finish. was usually, not without excitement. A notable feature of the racing was the outstanding success achieved by the Hon. Mr. John Johnstone, who lost only one of the six events in which he participated. Stam having won from Spotted Sand by a length in the second race, the points for the Gymkhana Club Cup are now six spiece for these two ponies.
