(By "The Toff.") f■•:- - - ■ - But for go|ng to a bad break nearing the head of the stretch i m the St. KUda Handicap at Forb.qry, Maiwharitj would have won. ' 4 CYE3N after his unfortunate error he travelled fast down the straight; and secured second money. Lenamhor showed the way past the Stand/ but Suristorm -was m charge at the halfr-mile dome m 1.8 2/5. He was followed closely by Maiwhariti, Lenamhor and $t. Bridget. Going to the far bend, Sunstorm dropped bad? and Lenamhor was again m possession, where Maiwhariti looked to have it on him. Then Maiwhariti left his feet and hpme Lenamhor came, St. Bridget tired over the last furlong and had to be content with third money. •When six furlongs were covered" m the Spring Handicap at Fbrbury/ Nelson Ata (which was m front) and All Peters were that far m front of Trampcrisp that they looked as if they would have the race to themselves. ' The first mile wag negotiated m 2.26 1/5. Entering the back "stretch the last time, Nelson Ata tired badly/ There Trampcrisp turned on sufficient speed to gather All Peters, arid with a 'mile and five furlongs covered he took the lead and came home full of pep. He showed that he not only, is a fast trotter, but also a : good stayer. He was imported from America by X R. McKenzie and is trained by D. Withers, who handled the 'son of Trampfast and The Clear -with fine judgment.' '■ r Repute, which finished third, marred her display by making bad breaks.
