[BY EARLY BIRD.]
Favourites succeeded in four races and second favourites ac- counted for two races on Saturday. Two outsiders won the remain- ing events in the first day's outing of the two-day meeting which - will conclude the first half of the présent racing season.
Mr. A. J. P. Heard succeeded in annexing three races, Mr. Harriman two and Messrs. Roza, Newbiggin and Mr. Arnold one each.

Quite a little constemation was caused in the third race when City Hall came to grief rounding the bend at the five furlong post.

In spite of the 'assistance of Mr. | Heard, Grand Tattoo Eve was forced to acknowledge defeat at the hands of Mr. Yam Man's One-Third who weat into the lead at the fall of the flag and carried on to pass the win- ning post a winner.
Mr. Johnnie Heard, who had the mount on Rummy, started a good day by drawing the No. 1 position
City Hall, who was carrying seven at the post. He won by six lengths. lbs overweight ran a beautiful race, As the time taken for the journey Rose Hall lost considerable ground was only four-fifths of a second be when he ran out at the bend enter- hind the "B" Class contendersing the straight and considering his extraordinary light impost I am sur- over the same distance it will be prised he did not run much more:

Town Hall ran very disappointing- ly and did not at any time look like winner. I understand he will be ridden by Mr. Soares this afternoon as Mr. Harriman will be riding Chesapeake Bay'in the fourth race.

Aggregate Stakes
In spite of the fact that Christ- mas Chimes was carrying a 10 lbs. penalty the public selected him, as the favourite in a field of four class Christmas contenders. However, Chimes was unable to justify his supporters' confidence and had to be content to share the second prize with Monterey Bay who has been running very consistently during the previous meetings,
Huntington, who was out to make running for his stable companion secured no excellent start which he made the best of. However, Chesa- peake Bay came back very strong to win at the finish,
