(Mr. Taylor) (Mr. Radclyffe) Sleepy Jim led at the start, Sinbad being just behind, Bantam third, and Variation fourth. There was no alteration in the order when the Fillage was reached, and the poines were not being pressed very hard. Coming into the straight for the first time Sinbad overtook Sleepy Jim, and Bantam was in close attendance, but before reaching the grand stand Sleepy Jim had again forged to the front, Variation now being fourth. At the bridge Sinbad once more got the botter of Sleepy Jim, who was quite out of the running by the time. the plantation was reached, all the other ponies having passed him. Going down the hill Sinbad had a clear lead of two lengths, Bantam being next and Canary and Variation handy. In the straight Binbad increased his lead, and Variation and Canary were now the next pair, but neither of these two could overtake Sinbad, who drew away and won very easily, Variation being placed second, Canary third, Nesting fourth, Bantam fifth, and Canary last. Time 3 mins. 36 secs.

(Mr. Gedge) 0 Black Velvet, Vicar, and Times were the most prominent at the start, and these three were still ahead when the straight was reached. Passing the grand stand they were well toge- ther, Black Velvet taking the lead, but at the plantation Times got abreast of Black Velvet, and the Vicar fell into the rear, while going up the hill Torchlight came to the front in fine style, and he and Black Velvet led the way passing the village. Before the bend reached Mayberry's speed improved and he got into third place, but some distance behind the leading pair. A fine race home ensued between Torchlight and Black Velvet, but the former increased his lead half a furlong from home and passed the post three lengths ahead, Mayberry being third, Scandal fourth, and Times fifth.

A very good start was made, Monto Carlo showing the way from Sepoy and Comet, but at the bridge Comet went into second place, and Sepoy fell back into third position. Just before reaching the plantation Xerxes made an effort to get ahead, but the leaders augmented their speed, and at the hill Monte Carlo was passed by Comet, while Telegraph went into third place. Comet increased his lead coming down the hill, Telegraph and Burnside being closest to him, while at the village Bellman rushed into second position. Mr. Buxey's pony had a good lead in the straight and won easily, Bellman just getting ahead of Telegraph for second place, Sepoy being fourth. Time-2 mins. 364 secs.

THE OFF Day.
Monday, 24th February. The cold wet weather of the first three days' meeting gave place to more genial conditions yesterday, when the "off" day's races were run. It was fine the whole of the afternoon, and as the air was much warmer there was a very large attendance in the grand stand and enclosure, while many hundreds of Chinese assembled on the green. A very enjoyable afternoon's sport was witnessed, a feature being two successive wins scored by Mr. J. D. Humphreys, who had been rather unfortunate with his ponies. There were again some very good fields, (Mr. Marshall) 0 and altogether the wind up of the annual considerable interest was displayed in the event. The
