Cracinella, Milan, and Parable were withdrawn from tho Easter Handicap, leaving :i field of. seven to go to the . post:' This was the best , race of tho . day, and culminated in a very hot

finish; After a Jong delay, at the barrier (due to Adria and Golden Eagle repeatedly breaking the tape), the field moved;'off in a good line; Koran, who was ridden by Lambess, immediately drew'.out in front, with Adria next,.and Coronetted last, the last-named getting all the worst of it in the heavy going. Going'down the back stretch, the leader was undor a strong pull, but across the bend Sandsiream aiul Adria had him cvtended.. In the straight Lady Menscliikoff got through' on .the. rails, but after running up to Koran she failed to sustain her effort, and the Waverley horse woii bj' a.neck, with Lady Menschikoff just-, clear of Coronetted. : - In tho Rewa Hack Handicap Moreo opened up a pronounced favourite,, and remained so till tho machiiie closed.
