Immediately the flag was lowered, Gift, in company with
Thomastown, De Ruyter, and Gladiator, appeared in front,
with the others lying up; but as they came across the com-
mon De Ruyter took a clear lead, followed by Gift, Thomas-
town, and Lincoln, to the bushed fence opposite the Stand,
which the leader refused, and in so doing caused those be-
hind him to follow suit, the first to get over being Thomas •
town, who was quickly followed by Reporter, South Aus-
tralian, Gladiator, Maid of Perth, De Ruyter, and Lincoln,
and then came Gift, some distance in the rear. In these
positions they cleared the water jump without a mistake,
with the exception of Gift, who dropped her hind quarters
into it, and sent the spray glittering in the air. Rounding
the stable turn, Thomastown considerably increased his
lead, and as they entered the meadows he was upwards of
half a dozen lengths in advance of Reporter, who was closely
followed by De Ruyter, Gladiator, South Australian, and
Lincoln, Gift beinging up the rear, in which way they
crossed the ploughed land, the leader taking a line to the
left, the others going somewhat to the right. Approaching
Valentine Brook, De Ruyter ran past his horses and assumed
the command, Thomastown going over second, Reporter
third, with Gladiator and South Australian, side by side,
exbeing out 0f it, was pulled up
and t

which the leading horses cleared nearly together, Thomas-
town with a slight advantage, which he retained to the turn
into the straight, where Lincoln was beaten, and in a few
strides further the leader was joined by Reporter, De Ruyter
and Gladiator, who reached the flight of hurdles at the dis-
tance nearly together. Reporter and De Ruyter, however,
being the quickest, cleared them in advance, came on toge-
ther, the former with a slight lead, which he held to the
end, and won a good race by two lengths ; a like distance
between the Second and third. Thomastown, coming with a
rush in the last few strides, obtained the third position, four
lengths in advance of Gladiator. South Australian was
filth, Lincoln and Maid of Perth did not pass the post.

Miss Livingstone,

have unfastened the front door from the inside to let himself
out; the lock might have been picked from the outside.
Witness found some Brs.zil nuts under the broken window.
Miss Gorman, recalled, said that she had thrown the Brazil
nuts at the window to make the Grieves hear. She must
have thus broken the window. The Coroner said that
although the persons who were disturbed in robbing the
house of the deceased had, perhaps, no settled intention of
killing her, by their violence they had caused her death,
and they were therefore guilty of wilful murder. The police
had so little present prospect of bringing the murderers to
justice, that he considered a verdict of wilful murder against
some persons unknown might as well be returnei at once,
without an adjournment. The jury returned a verdict of
" Wilful murder against some person or persons unknown."
The proceedings then terminated.
