Dillon Shine, who finished pecor.d, Jo?t a lot of grounri at the start by going to a break, but was staying- on well at. the business end of tho race. 'The favourite, Harold Burwood, Teiiified to strike a gait at tho start, and took no part in the race. Baffsrty was mado an even money favourite in the Teviotdale Trot Handicap. The eon of Logan Pointer and Proud Girl was interfered with on two occasions, which largely helped to bring about his defeat. Tho winner, Nibbidard, came from tbe limit division. She began smartly, and led from start to finish. The three-year-old filly. Edith Chimes, paced a good race into third place, but found tho journey of two miles just beyond her ability. Energetic (G.
