The even-money favorite, Veracious, was third. fi I 1 -s ri i 11 Veracious may have been He was squeezed at the start, and, los ing ground, was unfavorably placed most of the way. He eased in the betting from 6 tn 4 on to his starting price of evens. Roy Mlnda, a kennel companion of Veracious, was a hot favorite for the Dandcnong Handicap on the circle, but was beaten into second place by the to 1 chance General Goldsmith.

THE TWO CUPS Luke The Ripper Anticipates the Start and Wins Easily Luke the Ripper had the River Stake (2) which was run on the circular track, won before it had really started. Drawn on the extreme outside, he anticipated the start, and was three lengths clear before the field had gone 20 yards it was from that point no race.
Jumping clear out of the box, Pretty Bobby, who started favorite for the second division of the River Stake (1) (circular track), made his opponents look like novices. He was never in danger, and passed the judge with an official margin of four lengths to spare It was nearer ten. Another all-the- way win was scored In the Carlton Trial by Yalchris. This dog, by My Chris Micawber, had lengths to spare when the field came into view, but he eased perceptibly when he caught the pacemaker and had onlv half a length to snare on the past from Indent. The equal favorite for this race, Lorenzo, was never a possibility.

Both are lormer singles cham pions of Victoria, while Jackson has won the National Foursomes four times, Perhaps the most unfortunate pair was J. M.
Gillies and W. A. Higglns (singles defender), of Kingswood, In the morning they opened with some spectacular golf and were 3 under 4's for six holes. Then they played erratic ally for the remainder to finish with a 79 In the afternoon they returned to par golf and recorded the best round of the day 72.

Jackson provided the brilliance in the morning, and Edgar was outstanding In the second round, and provided the recoveries which enabled them to maintain trie ieau. Edgar start 3d by sinking an 8-lont putt nt the 11th, and another from 13 feet at the lBth.
He was not certain from the teen, In tho afternoon Edgar was through the jreen from the 1st 1255 yards, but Jackson came -hack "dead" for the birdie 3. Jack-ion then hooked the second at tne 3rd, ami cut to bunkers at the 5th, but atoned by driving well nt the 6th. After being one under Bogey on the return, Edgar badly cut tils drive at tho 15th, to run up a 5, while Jackson failed to reach the short leth. How ever, Edgar chipped to a feet, and Jackmn eank the putt. The 18th seemed destined to prove disastrous, when Jackson's drive tailed to tho tea tree, and was iorcea to use his putter in a lolt-handed style for the recovery.
Jackson then pulled to the bunkers, when Edgar came out to 9 feet. His partner made amends for the previous mistakes by xiutttnit accurately for a Bogey a. Hlgglns and Gillies played tne ilrst nine in 334. 314. 4M 3H.

It was a great re covery after the morning catastrophe, and it was not till they were informed of the good roi-nd of the Jackson-Edgar combination that they "let up." Even then their game did not deteriorate. Gillies was a great steadying Influence In the afternoon. His average- length straight game offset any inclination by Hlgglns to wander. Hlgglns was through the first from the tee, but Gillies came bacK Brilliantly to narrowly miss getting' tho 2. Although Gillies was bunkered at the next, Hlg- fins played a No.

Read how he cured his headaches toned up his and lost 86 lbs, of fat all with the same remedy: "I was so stout that my general health was completely undermined, I had constant headaches that almost drove me crazy, and I suffered from a continual feeling of H-'erishness. I weighed 16 stone 5 lbs. I began to take Kruschen Salts, and, after 10 or 12 days, my whole being was completely changed. My liver does not bother me any more, I feel younger and more active, my headaches are gone. Yesterday, to my great delight, I found that I now weigh only 18 stone 11 ID.
jVl.A.L. Headaches can nearly always be traced to a disordered stomaeh, and to the unsuspected retention in the system of tagnaiing waste material which poisons the blood. Kruschen Salts removes these poisons prevents them forming again and so brings lasting relief from headaches, Burkeland's Chief at White City Burkeland's Chief returned to the winning list by scoring impressively in his heat and the final of the 80 Handicap at White City last night.
