The grass track waß open, and ' afforded good going, but it was a trifle holding after slight showers that had fallen during the night. u„ G. Price sprinted most of his team, ca arid J. H. Prosser did likewise, iis The star gallop of the morning was » done by Los Angelos, who carried H. 'in Telford at about 9st., and ran ten furvo longs in 2min. lpsec. Over the last £0 mile he was assisted by Parky, and the , r . pair ran homo together. . The gallop , n was a good one, but the top-weight was it. doing his best at tho finish, m Amongst tho sprinters Styx performth ed best by getting to the end of six n y furlongs in lmin. 17 2-ssec. He had ho W. Bell in the saddle, and easily de:re feated Pavlova (J. o'Shea), as Erniengardo (A. Oliver) ran four fur:re longs down the back in 52sec.
