Keen Rivalry Among Riders

At Race Track

MARSHALL WINS TWICE

BEFORE TIFFIN BREAK

Bright, warm weather marked the third day of the annual Race Meeting at Happy Valley, with every promise of another day's good sport. There was a thrilling finish to the opening event, the Kalgan Plate, which Mariposa, ridden by Mr. N. Deitz, won by a short head from Prospero, with Tze Tin third a similar distance away.

i

In a field of eight, Mr. F. Marshall brought home Holiday Eve in the Coral Plate three lengths ahead of Vixen Tor, backers securing a return of $27.00 for a win.

Mr. Marshall followed up his success in the previous race by winning the Exchange Plate with King's Warden, coming in two lengths ahead of Bear Claw, ridden by Mr. Frost, with Honeymoon Eve (Mr. Needa) in third place three lengths away.

A Government communique claims to-day that the Basque Leftists have inflicted a serious reverse upon the insurgents on the Asturias front. It asserts the Basques, in a brilliant action, have penetrated Oviedo, occupying a number of streets of the city, and that they have also cut the road between Oviedo and Grado and penetrated, and fortified their new positions, at Pamdo. During these actions they captured a number of lesser towns and heights, numerous prisoners and large quantities of ammunition-Reuter.
