Spring Stakes, but sustained defeat by Winter Rose, with Mr. Hart Buck's Silver Fox third. Chisai won the Grand Stand Stakes, showing | very fine form, while Legacy annexed second honours and Th Pir te third. Rare Rose and Algerine were the only entran's for Mr Bell- | Irving's Challenge Cap, which Rare Rose secured after an uninteresting race, never in doubt, A big field entered for the Ladies' Purso. At the end of the race Miss Hunter presented the Ladies' Pu se to Mr. Master, who replied in appropriate terms. Three cheers for Miss Hunter and for the Governor, General Gascoigne, and the jockey were given. First honours fell to Mr. Master's Ichiban (owner up) and seco id to Punch, from the same stable, Chisai taking third place notwithstand ing bis hard going in the second race. General Gascoigne's Ivy had a lot of supporters, but made a poor show and filished unplaced. The popular General was apparently in misfortune's way, for his other mare, Ruby, was led home fame aud died on her way to the stables. In the Hongkong Stakes a much fancied winner was found in Muscatel, Jigoku and Commoner having to be content with second and third places respectively. Five ponies faced th starter in the race for the Parsee Cup. Mr Potts had two nominers, Desert King and Rebel King. He declared to win with Rebel Kiug, and it did win, Desert King being pulled up on the post to allow that to take place, and Disgust never having a look-in. But in this connection, there was a good deal of comment levelled at the Stewards, who ought to have made sure that Mr. Potts's declaration was put in a position where it could be easily seen before backers had laid on Desert King, who
and extensively fancied
would of course have won if he had not been eased, coming up to the post. The result was that backors ou Dos rt King suffered. Sequal won the Phaethon Stakes, Clare and The Pirate being second and third. The China Pony Champion Stakes brought out a field of four. Owing to what had gone before, Rebel Kiug was strongly fancied for first honours as against Pandar from the same stable, though Rare Rose found some supporters over and abo o Mr. Potis's ponies. Pandur and Rebel King came in in the order named, with a head between, at the end of a race which went to show their superiority over Rare Rose and Algerine but was not conclusive so far as the assessing of their own respec- tive capabilities were concerned. In the Waler Champion Stakes only two stables were repre- sented.
Colonel Hughes scratched Brilliant, the Derby winner. M. Master had three representatives. Ichiban, Mayfly, and Remnant; he himself rode Mayfly and it was mostly fancied. Mayfly, however, was employed only to make the running and when Runaway Girl had had the going knocked out of her, Ichiban was sent to the front and won easily, with Remnant second and Runaway Girl third, Mayfly coming in last. Flickamarco won the half-mile scurry in the Nil Desperandum Stakes, Silver Fox being second and Joker third.

Up the hill to the Black Rock Mr. Master's mount, on the inside, drew up on Ben-y-Gloe, and the two ran neck and neck down the hill. Ben-y-Gloe was now under the whip, and beaten, and it looked a sure win for Flickamaroo as the straight was neared. Here Winter Rose and Silver Fox cleared the rack, and coming along gamely on the outside the former passed Flickamaroo almost on the post and won by half-a-length; good third. Time, 2min. 27secs.

(Mr. Johnstone, The start was a poor one, Chisai getting in front with the others in a bunch. The Pirate drew second; Tyro took third place and Legacy the fourth. When the post was passed for the first time Legacy had changed positions with Tyro. Chizai continued in the lead | going round the back stretch. Then Legacy was sent forward, and, passing The Pirate coming 1ound the beud, she came up on the outside and made a bid for first place, but her challenge was stared off and Chisai won splendid race by a length. The Pirate was a poor third. Time, 2mins. 254 secs.

Coming round past the Village, Tobiban took second place and Chiss, showed up in the third position, Vanity, Altgold, and Countess tailing off. Ivy made a good bid bat was ontdistanced.

Mr. Potts declared to win with Rebel King. Mr. The hoses got away to a good start. Potts's two ponies took up the running and Desert King set a spanking pace for his stable companion. As the Gr nd Stand was passed for the first time the two Kings held first and second places, Disgust third place, Scowdrop fourth and Style fifth. This order was maintain- ed nutil the field got round opposite the Football Club's stand, at which point Snowdrop was urg- ed onwards and made a try for the lead. Disgust fell into fourth place, but Snowdrop failed to distance the leaders and Disgust shot shead again into third place and also made a-gallant effort to get ahead of the Kings. This attempt was unsuccessful and Desert King romped up the straight in fine style with Hebel King length behind. Desert King slowed down ons approaching the winning post and allowed Rebel King to win by half a longth. Disgust a good third. Time, 2 mins. 11-secs.
