Chilnore, a recent winner, finished second, and third place went to Phyllis R.

The veteran jockey Willie ran was- astride the winner, and it was his second success of the day. Threatening weather failed to keep the turf enthusiasts away from the track, and the attendance was estimated as 4,000. . Favorites triumphed in the majority of the races, and the form players enjoyed their most successful day of the current meeting.
