weather conditions, and knowing-4.00 P.M.-West River Handi- punters were rewarded when good outsiders romped Rome in all events except three. The rain-sodden ground was not compatable with fast times, and was no doubt instrumental,. together with the ex- cellent handicapping, in upsetting the favourites.
One spill occurred in the Nan- ling Handicap. Gallant Fox, rid den by Mr. W. W. Miles was crush. ed on to the rails and fell, throw- ing the jockey heavily. The pony recovered and galla, ed on while Mr. Miles was assisted from the course suffering from a burst vein in the right arm.
Mr. A. A. R. Botelho graduated from the Novice's class, when he scored a popular win on Army Hall, the favourite, in the West River Handicap, beating Kate by half a
length.
