Voight, rider of Linton, has his torehead badly cut, and' it is feeied that it is smashed. . The Smithfield Handicap was a fine betting ' race, and finished ap with Going : Up and Killala being a dead-heat for fir|t favourite. When doing 'their preliminaries Theda and Samarang oo!.iu d, and I), J3.ua had a bad fall, his collarbone being broken. Satisfaction owed her win to being on the inside, and as it was she woe nearly, caught napping, for Lowe dropped his-hands on her a chain from the post, and Link- ITj. vigorously ridden by E. Ludlow, got within a head of her. Radial and Pyjama did not get out well, but both were running on ai the Apish. Going Up was one of first out from the rails, and was with the leaders to the straight, where she compounded. She has speed, but*cannot stay at all. The Cup Race was spoiled by gunny Corner when in the lead stumbling about a furlong.after the start, and interfering with a number of the contestants. Night Alarm blundered at the. same time, and lost lm rider, A. Peart. -. . $ Egotism, Dutch Courage, Royal, Stag, Rorke's Drift, Melee, and Jock all got badly interfered with, and though Palamon won nicely, the result nright have been different but ■ for Sunny Corner blundering. Barrister never left the issue in doubt. - He was the only, horse that looked seasoned enough to race over any distance. Golden. Prince appeared to run off at a brush fence up l the back, while Dunmure, Sartomart, and lnnisf alien pulled up. when hopelessly beaten. L. Hagcrty, rider of Golden Prince, was called before the stewards, and suspended for the day for miscing a fence and continuing on in the race. The third money was. awarded to Sartomart. Valdamo got badly left in the Electric Stakes, while Humboldt and Kilderg gat out with a good lead, so fax in front that iJ looked as if nothing would ever' get near them, Kilderg won very easily,' but Hum-

boldt stopped in the last few strides, and was just beaten for second money. Bonny Mac had the Rosewill .Handicap won two strides from the post, but his rider dropped hie hands, and- was beaten. The unlucky horse in the race was Pit- Prop> u who not only got out. badly, but had to come'' round the home turn very wide. .-:•-. Mac Duff and Twinkle were the first to begin in the Doncaeter Welter, and they ran each other to a standstill over the first five furlongs. 'With either out of the race the other might have won.
