Kildare has at last broken his run pf good luck. The betting was 2 to 1 each against Kildare and Kate; 3 to 1 Theodore< 4to 1 Coquette: 6 to 1 Banjo. A capital start was effected, and over the first hurdle the order - was Kildare first, Theodore and Kat e next," Banjo and Coquette last. Ther jdore stumbled over it, but Joyce recovered J, him splendidly. Coquette ran up alongside Kildare, but at the next hurdle the latter fell, Cotton remounting him quickly aai 7 1 going after his horses. On the opposite side, Banjo took the lead, Coquette Lying next, Kate third (some lengths behind), Theodore fourth, Kildare raph ily r uaking up his leeway. Past the stand the 8( icond time this order was kept, but Kildai.-e again fell and threw Cotton, who again.: mounted, but he was out of the race. Roun d thecourseßanjoandCoquette ran together, .and cleared all the hurdles in grand style, tl le filly however losing ground at the last but one.

(8.

These were four false starts, in which Pungawerewere got away well, and at last Templeton, as happened in the same race last year, lost some lengths. Pungawerewere cut out the running, with Guy Fawkes and Tattler in close attendance. The rest in a cluster, save Tommy Dodd, who, with Templeton, brought up the rear. Passing the stand, Pungawerewere and Guy Fawkes Btill held the lead, Ariel coining nrr there and pulling double, Tattler fourth, the field close up, with the exception of Templeton. Opposite side the course, Tommy Dodd separated himself from the ruck and drew gradually to the leaders, but soon fell back beaten. Guy Fawkes now collared Punga and at the entrance had her settled, but Ariel came with a tremendous rush and passed them both, landing an easy winner after an exciting race by four lengths. • Guy Fawkes and Pungawerewere, though punished severely, could not race the winner in the straight, the filly in fact shutting up like a cur as soon as Guy got at her, but Templeton came through his horses wonderfully at the finish and made a good third, his stable companion fourth ; the rest straggling. Time, 3miu. 20£ sec. It is curious that yesterday Guy Fawkes carried in the Publicans’ Handicap Sat 121b to Ariel’s 6st 121b, and beat the celt rather easily, JOCKEY CLUB HANDICAP,
