Thirteen of tlio twenty-tlireo on tho c»rd declined their engaceraents in the T7nhopplod Handicap. Marietta was favourite, with pocri support for I/a Fontaine, and -(ho ooup'.od horeee, Roso Traocz and Arran Lad. Several of tho competitors failed to fitriko n. trait at tlio etnrt, including Arran Lad, Gallivant, and Captain Rothschild.

"With tho exception of Roe® Trace}*, the others £avo a poor display. Tho Groy Valley Handicap wag robbed of all interest, so Lwswvod, G< Idcn Pippin arr.l Beach Boy were called off, and Palmdalo stood on tho mark, taking no part in tho race.

Bloom and Prudish showed speed in patches, but went to a break Tcpcoiedly when under pressure. Simple Peter did not show lo the same advantage in eaddlo as harness, and gave n very indifferent display. Fernmoor was sent out the hottest favourite of tho day in the Dnsh Handicap, and after making a bold bid for eupremary, failed by a small mugin to do(oat Dorecn Dillon. Those two pt»o tically had the race to themselves, with Hickorywood third. Tho placed division we*« (ren out in tho Dominion Handicap earlier ill tho day, but this time occupied different positions. Nevertheless, they showed most consistent form. Roosevelt displayed speed in patches, but failed to etav on. Red Prince was never prominent, whilo Fanny Dillon, who w«» soro, broko badly at the start, and lost all her handicap, but showed a fine turn of spood when, she did go. . The scratching pen was freely used m the Electric Handicap, Carol, Dick B, Hotrry Tracy, Golden Pippin, Buck's Head, and Mario Lloyd being the eleventh hour withdrawals. It waa an interesting race, as at different stages Woodland Roso, Tho Monkey, Rewanui, and Loowood held winning chances. Under punishment Leewood responded gamely, and with a clear run. on the outside of the field, eoored comfortably from ITio Monkey, and gavo B. Jardcn his ftcond win in succession. Tho Monkey paood a much better race with the weight up than he did early in tho dny in harness, ond paid a elightly better dividend lhan the winner. Rowamii got a bad passage. He was badly ridden in tho home etrctch, «nd, better handled, would havo won, as sho showed more speed than anything else in the race. Maryhill waa well beaten at the end of seven furlongs. Lady Somoroot did not leave tho mark. Woodland Rose was always well placed, but failed to stay on at the business end of the race. Walter Raleigh went away well, only to leave his feet in tlie first fifty yards.
