Subse--qnently it was stated that one of the stirrup-leathers ( had given way. Peroneal, Kimbombi, and Awahou were the early.-pacemakers, and were prominent again when Ladoga ran off, but half a mile from home Moutoa Girl had taken charge. The Soultmare did not stop ia front for.long. Before the straißht was reached it was •■ seen -that ' Kilrain; .Byron, and Kimbombi '■: had her measure, and a victory for Kikain was wudly proclaimed, Inside the distance Fair Rosamond and Kooya. were eeen coming, .very,:feet' on the outside, and in the last fifty yards Kooya won with ease by over a length. Her victory was full of tterit, for on passing; the stand the first time ehe was racing absolutely last.
