After a little delay the field were despatched in a bunch, Sutlej falling into first position, with Celia Rose second and Giesler third. Passing Bowrington the Rose drew level with Sutlej, and headed him approaching the incline. Sutlej emerged from the rear of the rock in the van again, however, and Heraldic drew into second place, Giesler closing in on the leaders. An excellent run up the straight between the three saw Heraldic pass the judges' box first, Sutlej second, and Giesler third.

11st 4lb (Mr. Hayes) 0 This classic event brought out five starters Little Gem Rose being hot favourite while Messrs. Toeg and Speelman declared that two entries they would win with Missouri, yet singularly enough this pony did not make a show at all for the honours. The start saw Volga on the rails with the others in close attendance excepting Apollo, which fell behind several lengths. Missouri followed his stable companion, the Rose, run- ning neck and neck with Fernie. On pass- ing the stand first time the order was Volga, Fernie, and Missouri together, Little Gem Rose fourth, and Apollo completely out of the race. Volga led at the football stand from Fernie and Little Gem Rose, Missouri held back lying fourth. At the bottom of the incline Fernie took the lead, Volga dropping behind, and the Rose coming up strongly reducing his distance from the leader. The same order was maintain. ed down the inclize. Little Gem Rose came up in grand style and overtook Fernie before the village, increasing the lead into the straight and winning in a canter.
