settled down, Y r alstreet was at the head of affairs, with Awamutu, Pellette, Hose Lupin, and Currajong following. Awamutu soon ran to the front, however, and at the end of three furlongs was leading Valstreet, Pellette, Rose Lupin, and Love Call. Y’alstreet ran up to Awamutu nearing the turn, and this pair led round the bend on terms, Pellette and Rose Lupin following together. YVhen straightened up, Pellette simply played with the field, and won in convincing fashion by four lengths from Awamutu, who was a further three-quarters of a length ahead of Valstreet.

Hiata, £469, was a sound second choice, with a drop to The Jackjumper, £270, a good return being the reward of followers of this horse. It was a grand start, and King Fiend was the only one who did not move away. Shortly after the start, Haviland, Land Measure, Lady Mestor, and Loving Cup were bunched in that order, followed by Swift Light, Camp Prince, Leona, and Pae Ana. Haviland had a shade the best of matters turning for home, and his nearest attendants were Land Measure, Thanks, Swift Light (off the course), Just Nell, The Jackjumper, and Camp Prince. The Jackjumper came fast over the last bit, and won well by half a length. Plaviland and Loving Cup had a great set-to over the final 100 yards, and though Haviland appeared to have beaten Loving Cup for second money, the judge ignored both of them, placing Camp Prince second by a neck, and Loving Cup third. Night Comet was fourth, followed by Whakama, Just Nell, Liona, Land Measure, Swift Light, King Leslie, and Camp Prince (officially second).
