Winter Trotting

AUCKLAND FIXTURE ENDS Derby Lynn Wins Nicely SEBISCAS BIG SURPRISE THE Auckland Trotting Club’s winter fixture concluded in showery weather. There was a good attendance and the track, after the overnight rain, was again heavy, providing decidedly holding footing. Derby Lynn, favourite for the Manukau Handicap, won comfortably at the finish after being judiciously handled by driver Hughes. Favourites had no hope in the Royal trot, a desperate finish being fought out between Sebisca, Dipnoi, Floraline and Appea 1, the former gaining’ a bead decision, returning his backers close on a score. Handled with excellent judgment bv C. G. Lee, Nelson Dillon came away over the final stage of the Suburban Handicap to score a popular victory from Hostess who attempted to win from end to end.

Cardinal Logan won the Mark Memorial Handicap from the favourite, Kohara, after a good race.
