One of ■;the,-features', of the racing, was/thytiefeat;:;of-Bronze Eagle and Kar'apoti:.'i>y,''.-Griy:;'Cre6t;',in!. the Clifford Plate in the; course; record time of 2min 5 l-ssec f or ; -a ijnile ; andia, quarter. Actual favojirites ag&in-fired: badly, and investors received: two shaip;..reverses when Bronzo Eagle and InSatioh were1 defeated.

The investments for the meeting amounted to £197,983 10a, as.against £282,558 last year, a decrease, of £84,674.105. ~ ... I CHIEF JOY'S SURPRISE. J Chief Joy was responsible for a- surprise .when he narrowly defeated the favourite, Antique, in the Goodwood Handicap. Chief Joy followed Taurua, Dunraven, and Princess Bede into the straight, and he just struggled home from Antique, who finished fast. Green Linnet, after disputing the issue with Chief Joy to within fifty yards of the post, faded into third place, and Princess Bede was fourth, followed by Catoma, Duhraven, and Royal ■Artist.-,. Antique :,came. frpnr.u'good'- way; back,* and would have won only for be--ing stopped/a from; the post,; when- he' had; t6*g6vfrom}-well: out right: over to the; Sails^iAntique; should be well; worth remembering, for meetings'.

Good jumping'materially assisted Russet Moor to victory in the Auckland Hurdles when he scored comfortably from .Goshawk'.and.Hit'the Deck.; Goshawk was never given a.moment's peace by his rider, arid in addition to this he lost several length's by a faulty jump when leading at the- second to, last fence. Hit the Deck displayed plenty of dash between the fences, but he spoilt a good chance by jumping- faultily, -Simeon, the favourite, finished gamely in fourth position. Simeon was feeling the effects-of his racing on the hard gr.pund, and hung out all the way. He should win a good race over liurdles when he freshens up again.- ■ ■"-' ' INFLATION UNPLACED. In spite of .his penalty of 101b Inflation was sent put a short-priced fayourite for the-Royal; Stakes, but he never gave any trouble, although he appeared 'to be going nicely in fourth position at. the turnr .TeaTra'depj the second 'favourite';' led practical.ty'.alUthe'way,; and 'Vbitre's good riding just; eiifibled him,;to beat La' Mbderrie, after they?.had,'had f a.great :tussleJ in the last, iu.rlong.", Midinette did,well .to...get third -after, b^eihg slpwaway, aiia- travel-, ling,: on.'.theVputside' throughout.

GayV.Lap' was fpurth and Awaken fifth. High. Comedy had none the best of the runningj but unlucky horse was Gay Lap, who finished full of running after being badly stopped when coming fast on the insidebelow the- distance. BRONZE TRAY NICELY. Beacon Fire, was favourite for the Grey Handicap,: Taut, after leading for over seven furlongs, he was beaten-home by Bronze Tray and Grand Review. Bronze Tray came from a long way back and finished splendidly on the mils. He nearly caused serious trouble when he swerved out on to Beacon Fire about a hundred yards from the post. The incident did not affect the result, and Bronze Tray would have been most unlucky if it had cost him

the lace. Grand Review'displayed improvement,- nnd-Jaeldy-'Kiiro-ran his beat race for some time to finish fourth. Results were: —.. - .
