FIFTY-SIXTH DAT—FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 26. With truly beautiful weather and such an attractive card of seven races, is was not to be wondered at that the attendance ran up close to 3000,which is pretty good for a "week day"— and no stake event on the programme. The sensations of the afternoon were the wins of two flyer3 from the Boots stable (Anabasis and Nebula) at odds of from 20 to 25 to 1 each. Instigator, from the same stable, ran second in another race. The first race was for maiden three-year olds, six furlongs. To a good start Qaeen Nubia flew to the fore, leading A lla- mas two lengths at the half, Popinjay third. Qaeen Nubia was three lengths to the good at the three-quarters, Tulare second, a length before Altamax. Queen Nubia ran out on last turn, tired in the homestretch and Altamas galloped in first by three lengths, Qaeen Nubia second, six before Tulare, Atticus (who got away last and ran out in the homestretch) a poor fourth. Time, 1:15f! Altamax was at 9 to 5, Qaeen Nubia 8 to 1, Tulare 4, others 6 to 100 to 1. The Becond was a split of the first. To a good start Ana- basis, fourth away, shot to the front, leading Charlemagne a length at the half and three-quarters, Tryst third at the latter point. Anabasis was not headed, and won handily by one and one-half lengths, Charlemagne second, three from Philip H., who beat M. Clicquot a length. Time, 1:17. Anabasis wa3 at 20 to 1, Charlemagne 3£ (6 at one time), Philip H. (coupled with Nuncomar and Peaceman) 4, Yama 2 (4J once), M. Clicquot 5, May E. 6, Tryst 40 and El Ladrone 75 to 1. The third was for three-year-olds, one mile. They were away to a good send-off, and Nebula, given a cut of the whip at the outset, drew away until she was three lengths to the good at the quarter, Col. Wheeler headiog a close bunch.
