the chestnut mare took seconds more than Maple Star's time for 1% miles, the home stretch was cantered in 25% seconds, while the last half mile was chinged 55 seconds. A noto should be kept that the last mile was 2.03%. However, a gallop of this calibre showed that the mare must have come from n #ol "rneing family," and I hope it will be proved to at the Annual Carnival.

Fair Chance, a stable-mate of Aus- tralian Diamond, went alone over 1 miles, and although he came home in 20 seconds (full time be- ing 3.34%), I am. not too sanguine about his capability as a stayer.
