In the Grand Stand Stakes seven horses faced the starter. La France Roso started favourite, and performing up to expectations, beat Royal and Aladdin. Mr. Johnstone brought home Ca Canny first in the Spring Stakes after a fine race; Panjandrum was second and Chautauqua third. In the Great Southern Stakes race the winner turned up in Discord, which was not very much fancied for the event, Fiscal having to be content with second honours and Algerine with third. Set won the Ladies' Purse; Vancouver and Marechal Niel Rose finishing behind. Just before tiffin the prizes in this race were presented by Miss Berkeley, daughter of Hon. Sir Henry S. Berkeley, the Attorney-General. Aladdin brought off his first win of the Meeting in the Parsee Cup Race. In the Phaethon Stakes, Dandy started a favourite. He made the pace for most part of the course, but broke his fetlock coming into the straight. Remnant took up the running and finished first with Runaway Girl close up. Dandy had to be shot. Fiscal won the Hong- kong Stakes as was pretty generally anticipated. Rajah came in first in the Consolation Stakes with Vancouver second.
Coronet Rose, Mr. Burey's Derby winner, was, naturally, a hot favourite for the Champion Stakes, though, indeed, many also backed Mr.
