won by a mile and a quarter in a canter. •Native went round for second -money, but Theodore gave up after a mile. Time, not worth mentioning. A protest was lodged against Auckland Kate by Charles Turner, trainer for George M‘Gavin (owner of Native) on the ground that Endorson dropped his whip at the water jump, and that it was picked up and handed to him again. Consideration of the protest was held, and it was dismissed as trivial.

Forburt Handicap, of 150 sovs, with a sweepstakes of live sovs each; the second horse to receive the amount accruing from the sweepstakes. Nomination, 2 sovs; acceptance, 3 sovs. Ona mile and a-hklf. Mr M. Studholme’s ch o Cloth of. Gold, 3 yrs, 6st

King Philip carried 21b and Hercules 71b overweight. Betting: Even on Ariel; 2 to 1 against Pungawerewere; 3 to 1 Hercules ; 4 to 1 Right Bower and King Philip; sto 1 Tadmor ; 8 to I Haphazard and Cloth of Gold. After one false start, in which Haphazard went 200 yards, a good one was effected, Punga cutting out the running, Right Bower second, and Ariel third. These three led past the stand, Haphazard being fourth, and Tadmorjiext, King Philip falling gradually back. Rounding the turn, Punga further increased her lead to two clear lengths, and appeared to be running away with the race, but a quarter of a mile further on Ariel drew up to her, and the pair raced neck amt neck to the entrance of the straight. Hercules at the same time came up, and the Bower falling back Tadmor took his place, and Cloth of Gold also came to the fore, A grand race ensued up the straight between Ariel on the inside and Cloth of Gold outside, Tadmor half a length behind the pair, Hercules giving way. The three leaders were ridden hard and flogged all the way up the straight, but Cloth of Gold kept a short head in advance, and boring Ariel oh to the rails was landed a clever winner. Tadmor was a grand third; Punga fourth. Time, 2min. 60sec. A protest was lodged by George Cutts against the winner, on the ground of unfair riding on the part of Derritt in jamming Ariel against the rails. After the stewards had taken evidence the protest was disallowed.
