This is an increase j- of considerably more than .£3OOO over the [figures for Anniversary Day, 1914, when F.th& : leather, was also showery.

The last-named ran a ;-.'■ Ibetfcr race than in tho Cup, but there ■ Q0 nothing of any consequence in the ' Mid behind him. Byron shaped poorly K'in-Hhe softer going, and finished last. An ; "iriqniry was held after the race as to the c -.'.-' cause of Sea Pink's failure to leave the J mark, and the stewards announced them-

selves as satisfied that he wag caught in the tapes. . • Marco Bello, who was purchased by -Mr'.'T. H. Lowry at.the yearling sales at Randwick last Easter, was much admired when he paraded in the bird-cage, prior to the start of the Fitzherbert Handicap. His foTm at Ellorshe had alsoattraoted some attention, and he carried most money in the "race. Emerson got him away from tho barrier smartly, and he won from end to end. though he was hard pressed at the finish by both Down and Harlequin. The second favourite, Interludo, again disappointed her numerous backers as she failed to finish among the first half-dozen. The Douro Cup Handicap was a great betting race. ' Three of the candidates, Football, Plunder, and Banksia, carried over .61000 on the machine, while Gold Soult and Merrie Gain were also well backed. Mr. H. Coyle had prepared a nioo handicap, and after a vory pretty race, the throe placed horses finished within a length of one another, while Plunder was: close up fourth.. Tho event was decided,-in'a downpour of rain, and the going was 'becoming greasy'-at the time, a fact-which/did not improve the chances of. tho. second horse, Banksia. The winner, however, is.; a really good colt, and finished in' the > most' resolute fashion, 'I '••: - ; '.'.'•"' ' '. ~ _-.- ; There were seven runners in" the Disposal Stakes, in which Bold Stroke, from the Chokeboro stable, and Day Time..the Karaimi representative, carried the bulk of the public money. Otter led .Day Time and Bold Stroke to the home turn, and was then done with. Here Day Tinio rail wide, and Bold Stroke got alongside him on the inside, subsequently, carry: ing the Karamu horse right out to. the. centre of the ' course. ■ Notwithstanding this Day Timo was able to win by a r.eck from-Bold Stroke, the rest of the candidates being hopelessly out of the contest. After the race, Day Time was purchased by Mr. A. W. Rutherford for 135 guinea'B. ', ■ As tho going had become rather heavy by the time the' last race came up for decision, Emperador was withdrawn. The other scratchings were Downham, Croe. bus, and Chakwana. With the field thus I reduced to twelve runners, the public pronounced strongly in favour of Belasco, I on whom B. Deeley had the mount. The Vasco gelding got away fairly well, but never looked like winning, and was a very poor sixth, when the post was reached. Hoy and Wise Bird set oat as pace : maker.y-9nd when, the straight was reached Wise Bird ran right away, and scored a hollow victory, while Moy was beaten out of a place in the last fifty yards. . /.RESULTS.';: 'Results of thelvarious events are:-r-MUNGAIIOA : WELTER..HANDICAP, of '150 sovs.,''6econd horse'to roeoive 20 sovs., and the third ' horse 10 60vs. from the stake.
