The track, drenched by the rains of the past few days, though drying out, was J heavy, benefiting the sturdier mudlarks. £ Occupying the feature position was a one ie * mile and a sixteenth race, for the better it t grade platers, and it brought together sev- v~ v eral with a known liking for a soft track. George De Mar, which easily defeated ,d c Frank Fullen in their last meeting, had the ie I tables turned today, and was forced to take g second place to Frank Fullen, which tri- d umphed in hollow fashion, while a length £ further back came Friar Cliff in third place. e C Beau Wrack set the early pace and at * one stage of the journey had four open n * lengths over his closest attendant. Beau u Wrack was through after racing six fur- p. " longs, and as he began tiring both George e c De Mar and Friar Cliff were rushed up p e fast. v Meanwhile Madeley had taken Frank Ful- L. " len to the outside and also began moving g up. He displayed such speed that by the e time the quarter had been reached he had d E opened up a good lead. Frank Fullen con- H V tinued drawing away at the end, and was g f being eased up five lengths in front of t George De Mar. The latter was never in n J1 danger of losing second place. Beau Wrack, .

This was over the three-quarter r a mile distance and arranged under claiming g ° conditions. Piloted by the stable rider T. -. a !Aimers, Sun Man was allowed to settle fully into his stride before being sent up to the g * pacemakers. At the far turn he began to 0 gj improve his position while racing on the out-Bide. t_ He soon wore down the leaders, drew N s away into a good lead straightening out for r the run to the finish and never was in n J danger.
