B Among the hurdle favourites is Lom I Bounty, a first-class jumper in yuT I toria. who won during the autotn- I campaign at Flemington. I another in the front line, is a T so a Vk, I ! torian. The others include Anorien** J Kinross and Paul T. (the full-broth** I to Mister Gamp), who have been rac, ling this autumn in Sydney, and Sen* gift, who promised to be a champaoi ; but hurt himself and has been sr*e!lia* for some time.

Margate, Phoenig, Whitenose and Spearflight. Phar La* was scratched an hour before the raca Mr. Telford said he had merely left Phar Lap in until the last minute a? a drawing card. He had been offered £I,OOO to run the champion, but declined. Temptation led the field throughout, but a hot challenge in the straight by Nadean caused terrific excitement. Temptation won by a short head, whikl Kirrkie, which came fast in the last furlong, was a neck away third. Etheltoa was fourth. Time, 2.46 i.
