At the village, however, Tube Rose came up | Mr. Denni's The Unknown, 10st. 12lbs. and just before entering the straight Undaunted pushed to the front and from that point the race lay wholly between Tube Rose and Undaunted. Both ponies were severely whipped and the result of the struggle was that Tube Rose scored the victory by a length; six lengths between second and third. Time, 1 min. 30§

(Mr. Marshall) 0 The fourteen runners were out in good time, but as was expected there was some delay at the post. The flag at length fell to a rather scram- bling start. Deceiver, Landsknecht, and Hector were the first to show up, and the oider of running was processional all through the race. Beechwood got the lead in the straight, and won a rather uninteresting race by two lengths. It was a good struggle for second honours. Time, 1 min. 34 secs.

(Mr. Burkill) 0 The ponies were soon got off, Sinbad being first, Dogoni Wetr second, and (several lengths behind) Pineapple third, Blue Fire fourth, and Black Eagle last. Just before entering the straight Black Eagle caught up Blue Fire and the pair almost overtook Pineapple. At the bridge the ponies closed up, but there was no alteration in the order. In the straight Sinbad obtained a very big advantage and won in a common canter by several lengths. Time- 4 mins. 23 secs.

(Mr. Master) 0 The Unknown appeared at the outset to give his jockey some trouble and he had to be lead to the post. Oliver and Mr. David's two ponies were the first to get away after a very good start, Queensberry being fourth. On passing the stand for the first time Bannerman was first, Queensberry second. Oliver third, Statesman fourth, and Rookwood fifth, Plunger being near at hand. Softaire came up from behind and looked dangerous. After passing the bridge the ponies were all in a banch and riding hard. Soli- taire was the first to show prominently, being followed by Xenesei, and the two went a long away ahead, but at the village Tea Rose came out and got into a beautiful stride, but Yenesei was already too far ahead to admit of any doubt as to the result and he won comfortably by half a dozen lengths. Tea Rose and Solitaire ran a dead heat for second place, Rockwood being fourth, and Plunger fifth a long way behind. Time, 3 mins. 14 secs. The LUSITANO CUP; presented by the members of the Club Lusitano; second pony to receive half the entrance fees; for China ponies; weight for inches as per scale; previous win- ners at this meeting 7hs. extra; subscription griffins of this season, 1897-98, allowed 7ibs.; entries $10.

Orwell very quickly took the lead, Mufti and Desperation being the next in order a consider- able distance behind. Mufti, however, soon got abreast of Orwell and the pair ran right away from the remainder, who were bunched together. Going up the hill Mufti lost ground and allowed Guiding Star to take second place, but the dis tance between him and the leader was about four lengths at the village. In the straight none of the ponies could gain any advantage on Orwell, who passed the post a very comfortable winner. Hedgerose and Mufti had a close race for third place, the former obtaining that posi- tion by only half a length, Desperation being fifth. Time, 3 mins. 14 secs. The ENCOURAGEMENT STAKES; a sweepstakes of $5 each with $100 added, for subscription griffins of this season, 1897-98; first pony to receive 70 per cent.; second, 20 per cent.; third, 10 per cent.; previous winners excluded; weight for inches as per scale, Once round.

(Mr. Cruickshank) 0 The ponies started in an even line. Aspirant and Castanet took a slight advantage of the remainder, who were running in close order. On passing the stand Castanet was leading by half a length, Aspirant and Red Fish being the nearest to him. At the plantation Dun blane made an effort to overhaul Red Fish, but seeing this Mr. Master whipped up his pony and on the bill took first position from Castanet. Passing the village White Rose came out gallantly and challenged Red Fish, while Glenmore took up a strong third position. In this order they ran down the straight, White Rose winning a capital race by a length and a half. Glenmore was third six lengths behind, and Jeerchik was fourth. Time, 2 mins. 39 secs.

...(Mr. Crawford) Gamecock, Mansachte, and Beech Tree lead the way until reaching the bridge, when Gamecock swerved and attempted to get out by the gate. He was never able to make good the ground he had thus lost. Ingoldsby went forward, but all the ponies assumed close order. Going up the hill Mulatto left the crowd and quickly took a lead of a couple of lengths, in creasing it to half a dozen lengths on reaching the village White Heather was now the most prominent of the others and in the straight he and Mulatto, ran a very fine race, the latter

(Mr. Anderson) 0 Very little difficulty was experienced in getting the ponies away. Shetland was the first to show up. The race was somewhat of a scramble until the village was reached, when Landsknecht came gamely out of the ruck, took first place, and won with comparative ease by three lengths; one and a half lengths between second and third, Beachcomber being fourth. Time, 1 min. 57 secs.
SECOND DAY.-WEDNESDAY, 16TH, FEBRUARY. Wednesday was dull but fine.
In the early part of the morning rain threatened, but fortunately none fell and the whole of the day's proceedings were carried out without the assistance of mackintosh or umbrella. The racing was intensely, interesting and the hundreds of spectators must have thoroughly enjoyed the excellent finishes. provided by most of the events. The starters, it is true, were not so numerous as on the first day, when probably many ponies were out on their trial, but the sport was much keener, and perhaps no pre- vious meeting has furnished so much excitement and doubt, which prevailed almost from the start to the finish. The poorest race was the second one, for which only three ponies com.. peted, but all the others were thoroughly enjoyable. As was expected, the German Cup provided a particularly good contest, there being nine runners. Some delay was occasioned in
