The Metropolitan handicap resulted in
/ a hollow victory for W. r. Jones Charade.
I After a long delay Starter Rowe dropped
/ the flag to a very good start. Picknicker
/ was in front with Pessara second, La
! Tosca third and Arturo fourth, with the
/ others in a bunch a length behind. The
/ order remained unchanged until the as
! cent Of the hill began, when St. Florian,
/ Charade, His Highness and the other be-
/ gan moving up and more or less crowding
! forward. Suddenly one of the horses in
/ the van, Arturo, was seen to fall and the
/ horses in the rear apparently galloped
/ over the PROSTATE horse and rider, caus-
/ ing the spectators to cry in horror. When
1 attention was again riveted to the races
/ it was seen that Picknicker was in front
/ setting a merry pace up the hill with st.
! F'lOrian, Pessara, His Highness and
! Charade his nearest attendants in the
| order named. Turning in to the stretch
| Charade began to move up fast next to
| the rail and opposite the field, he
was clear of his opponents in such free
| style that it was clear he would win.
! St. ElOrian, Pessara, The Pepper and
/ La TOsca had dropped back into the race
| beaten by His HiPhness and Hume. The
| latter. who had come from nowhere, were
making a game fight for the place.

! from His Highness, who beat Hume half
| length for the place. Iddlesleigh came first
in the last quarter and finished fourth
