[BY MORNING DEW.")
The attendance at the ninth Extra Race Meeting reminded one of the big crowd that attended at the annual meeting to witness the lusalo between Diana Bay and Apollo in the Champions. On Saturday they were provided with a similar, thrill for Zorhan and Nationalist II met in the Aggregate Stokes, and there was much speculation, both in the pari-matuel and otherwine, an to the result.
From the way the race was run Nationalist won, not by any fluke or chance, but bo cause he was a much better pony on the running, Zorban was sent to the front at the out- net and Mr. Frost allowed Nationalist to make the pace. Zorhan hung conveniently close up to the Dynasty animal and although the first half mile was well under the minute there was not more than a length between the two animals at any stage of the race up to this point. Then Mr. Frost, sont, Zorhan up ́and the two went over the third quarter together, stride for stride. They entered the straight together, but here Nationalist—the bigger hearted of the two animals · --continued by himself, as the earlier paco had literally killed Zorhan, and for a while he was even threatened out of second place. Nationalist won handsomely, being cused up before the winning post was renched. Black Beauty took third place.
It was undoubtedly the greatest race since the rosumption of racing in September and almost $25,000 was invested in the pari-mutuels in this one race alone! Had the field been a big one, this figure would not have been surprising but the field consisted of only four ponies and of these. Black Beauty and Duke of Chantilly carriod loss than $1,000 worth of tickets between them.
Ono result of Saturday's raco, is that Mr. Chan Tin Sion won the Aggregate Cup for the first time. He is the frat Chinese, owner to do so and was heartily congratulated by his many friends,
