Unlike her earlier efforts during the hohdnjs Habit made the pace- over the eaiher stages, then came again in the stiaight to scoie by a head from Ruanui, who had been much more prominently placed than usual. Desert Song was another head away. Leisure, who had signalled her first success in open class company on the preceding djy> ngam pioved capable of leading the opposing sprmteis home in the Telegraph Handicap, Acoia and Arikmui filling the minor places. When in hack company Leisure'proved herself aa a very consistent peiformer, and she piomises to bo oqually-' successful in the higher class wheu tho. company . is.. not .too strong. Lquitant, who had been installed favom ite, ran ingloi'iously after having had e\ciy chance. THE MINOR EVENTS.
