FOR ONE THIRD.

OUTSIDER WINS ST. ANDREW'S STAKES BY THE NARROWEST OF MARGINS.

FULL DESCRIPTION OF SATURDAY'S RACES.

A NUMBER OF THRILLING FINISHES.

BY MORNING DEW.")

Fast times and close finishes were the features of the Ninth Extra Race Meeting on Saturday, the sport being reminiscent of the last annual meeting.

The St. Andrew's Stakes, the principal event of the afternoon, resulted in a win for One Third, Hiawatha only managing to get third place. A full description of this race will be found below.

Mr. R. H. Charles accounted for three firsts and a second. Mr. Roz obtained two well-merited wins and a third place, while Mr. Heard won the unofficial race and obtained one first" and two seconds in addition. Mr. Arnhold proved to be the best Novice, while Mr. Dalteel pleased his supporters by getting a win and a second place.

Dividends were very good throughout the day, only Boxing Eve paying less than evens, The betting arrangements were very much better, members now being able to bet in their own enclosure. There was no delay throughout the afternoon and the racing went through without a hitch of any kind. Fields were on the big side. but the most remarkable thing of all was the close finish seen in almost every race,

The cash sweep figures were good and the attendance left very little to be desired, this being a particularly a gratifying feature in view of the many counter attractions on Saturday.

THE RACING.

The "Ewa" Handicap. Although there were ten entries according to the programme, eleven ponies faced the starter in the cur tain raiser. Mr. Heard on Mono- polist carried the extremely heavy weight of 185 lbs. in addition to which he started from scratch,

When the signal was given Nugget, "who received 25 yards, put in a great spurt and caught up on several of the ponies with better handicaps, Mr. Frost who riding Abel displayed no hurry in picking up the others and Mr. Heard also chose to wait over the Grst quarter.

Was

At the five furlong past, the weight began to tell and the ponies were seen to slow down and to run wide. Mr. Heard pacagd all his Competitors on the rail and at the Rock only Zenjibil and Abel were in front. Monopolist took the lead at the distance post and won easily from Abel who was four lengths ahead of Zenjibil

The time for the race, considering that Monopolist is only a polo pony and was carrying 185 lbs., was very good.

Glasgow Handicap "A" Class.

The animal drew away from the rest of the field comfortably uotwithstanding his 185 lbs., because he is in a different class. Noukhail and Thunderbolt were prominent among the rest and both showed a rare turn of speed in the straight, Naukhail getting second place. Samaritan was well ridden to get third place.

The race is a strong answer to those who make it a habit to remind. the handicappers that O'Moon
