SECOND DAY, 13TH FEDKUARY,
13th inst. The scene at the Race-course this fore noon when the Second Day's Racing began was anything but inspiriting. A thin driz tle, which was worse than a really strong downpour, permeated everything. The hills overhanging the course were crowned with clouds, which threatened to discharge their contents. None of the Stands within the Jockey Club's area was occupied before noon, and there was but a sparse gathering in the nine matsheds, although as the day wore on people gathered their courage in both hands and ventured out to witness the Races.

But all this variation in form as shown on the field when the racing was actually in, progress only served to whet the interest in the race of the day. Opinion was so-diverse that the first few races went off without much com. ment, the spectators being anxious to hear the bell for the weighing in of Derby jockeys, Meanwhile the drizzle increased, and the ground looked sodden. It was far removed from being an ideal day for a race of the importance of the Derby, in the eyes of those who follow every step and movement of the animals.

The feature of the race for the Professiona! Cup was the excellent running of The Quaich. Left last at the starting post, The Quaich managed to overtake all its competi- tors, with the exception of Exchange King, and got second place-another tribute to Mackie's riding. So pleased was one of the performance and with Mackie's riding that he patted the pony repeatedly in an ecstasy of delight. The Challenge Cup was prac tically a walk-over for Czardas, and nothing of a momentous character occurred in the event.

The crack jucks were there, Hayes on Triumph Rose and Burkill on Emerald King,
The flag fell to a beautiful start, as is generally the case when the champions toe the line. Triumph Kose was on the inside; Emerald King took the outer track, the Arab Chief and Rosthern being in the centre. Quietly, the King sped off in front closely watched by the Rose; while the Arab Chief and Rosthern chummed together be bind. On the first round the King passed the Press Stand nearly a dozen lengths ahead of the Rose, while the Chief and Resthern were some twenty lengths, behind the leader. It was too early yet for the fun to commence; and it was difficult to say how matters would end. The King was going gamely, steadily; Triumph Rose was running beautifully-there was no straining after effect. It was only at the football stand that the Rose began to edge nearer the old rival and finally to draw level with Emerald. King. By this time, it was clear to all who looked on, that unless a miracle happened the race was between the King and the Rose. Just then the King crept ahead; the Rose fol lowed like a lamb. Not only followed but passed the Emerald King and came home walking. Rosthern made a gallant catch the but ineffectual attempt to second place, but could not manage to overcome the defeated King, who had to be content with that position. Arab Chief the vaunted, the marvellous, apparently stopped to think on the way back-nobody had eyes for anything but Triumph Rose' who and whose rider received an ovation,

Emerald King was led out of the gate by his mafoo and was the first to face the spectators.

At the Football stand Triumph Rose drew almost level with Emerald Kiug only to lose ground again when Burkill called upon his mount to increase the lead. But Triumph was not to be denied the race. He came up in capital style, and without any difficulty overtook the leader shortly after emerging from the Rock when the race was decided in his favour. He is, no doubt, the best of any racing pony this meeting. Posthern fought hard for second place which could not be wrested from Emerald xing, who was whipped in the race down the straight. Hayes rode hands down and won in a canter amidst cheers from the spectators, Triumph Rose was twenty lengths ahead at the winding post from Enierald King second, Rostbers a bad third and Arab Chief a long way last. Mr. H. N. Mody led his invincible Rose into the enclosure and was loudly ap plauded. Mr. G. H. Potts led Emerald King to be weighed in.
