Derby, Day 19296 will long be remembered by the racing fraternity, as having fur- nished one of the most exciting finishes that one could well wish to see, which resulted in the victory of Glorious Dahlia by half a length from Pretty Polly.

The winner is owned by Sir Paul Chater, the President of the Hongkong Jockey Club, who this year attended his sixty-first consecutive annual race meet ing.

In the Southern Stakes, Mr. McBain gained another success for the Chater stables, when he rode Sunrise Dahlia to victory.

For the Lusitano Cup, Lady Love was made hot favourite, but could get no neater than third, doubtless feeling the effect of a bard race on Monday and her outing in the Derby earlier yesterday. The winner paid $16.40.

In the race for the Challenge Cup, Local Option was only opposed by Tacoma and Duke of Frisco, and won by almost a distance.

a

The Royal Naval Cup attracted a field. of fourteen, of which Loch Bannoch was firm favourite. Despite a 7 lbs. penalty, however, Home Call won comfortably, in the hands of Mr. Maitland, with the favourite, 5 lengths away, third..

The Black Rock Stakes provided an other capital struggle, the Judges being unable to separate Fantastic Dahlia and. Brigade Call.
