The attendance was the largest oil record—over 8000 spectators being present when the Cup was ran. His Excellency the Governor and suite arrived before the Hurdle Rice, and wera i'9ceivec.l by the stewards of the club. The course was in good order, and the racing all through w.n interesting. For the Cup Race Crackshot was made a better favourite than Launceston. The race was really a grand one, the large field presenting a pretty sight passing the stand. St. Hippo, the Auckland representative, kept in a good position throughout, and won very comfortably. Westmere got uway very badly in the Welcome Stakes, and ran a crreafc colt.
