IT CAME OFF
“The favourite’s beaten!” went up the cry as the leaders in the Ladies’ Bracelet at Ellerslie on Saturday afternoon reached the distance post. Here Foxhound and Charitaine both passed Calithe, a hot favourite, who had gone to the front at the half-mile. But they spoke too soon, did the excited rooters, for those nearby declare that they saw Calithe's rider smile as the other two horses flashed past him all out. Biding his time, Calithe’s pilot waited till he got to the mile and a-quarter post, and then he moved. That was the end of it, for Calithe and his rider had only played with their opponents, and at the judge they had four lengths to spare. It was a neat exposition of the fine art of ••kidding” to the enemy, and Mr. D. R. Jackson put it over better than many professional riders could have done.
