The following were scratched Guy Fawkes, ■attler, Cloth of Goid, Templeton, Lady Grey, and Castilian. Before starting Prince.-s Mary bolted, and went the distance. She was then pulled up, but ranged up for another start. In the first quarter of a mile Voltaire threw his xiltr, who seemed to be about to rise off the ground, when to all appearances one of the horses trod upon him, amt he had to be carried off the course, Prince-s Mary cut out the running, leading Phoenix and Cocksure by six or seven lengths. Haphazard was behind from the fitst, and had no show. Upon nearing the straight, < ’ocksure overhauled the Princess easily, followed by Phoenix, and then led both at the straight by several lengths, and won by eight lergths, Pbcenix was second, and Princess third.

Daniel O’Rorke and Korari were most fancied in the betting, K irari at the start dashed off with the lead so strong that it looked like a bolting match, but the jockey checked him soon. Punga was off second. Daniel third, and Fishhook fourth. They kept in this order until about thre-quarters of a mile from home, when Daniel cut down Punga, and made a desperate effort to overhaul Korari; but though the Irishman was whipped all the way up the straight, Korari won as ho liked, hands down, by seven lengths. Punga was a good third, and Fishhook a long way behind. The Jockey Club Handicap, of 100 sovs, added to a sweep of 3 sovs each. The second horse to save his stake. One mile and a half. Mr FI.

This was a splendid race between Guy Fawkes and Templeton. Guy took the lead, Templeton second, all the others in a cluster. About half way round Flora made a rush forward, but could not keep with her company. Then Templeton challenged Guy for first place, passing all the others easily. Then came the tug of war between the two, and a splendid run up the straight ensued, Guy winning by half a length, Templeton whipping hard.
