trouble, but managed to start, although in the second lap the belt came off.

S. F. Garrett. won the Third race on an Indian. Whilst A. H. Hewitt was on his second lap it was noticed that his exhaust pipe had come adrift and was trailing on the ground. Plug trouble was also responsible for the retirement of S. R. Axford (Zenith).
The Fourth Race was a two lap race for machines with engines not exceeding 350 C.C. It was won in
fine style by B. Haddock (A.J.S.). G. Fletcher (Douglas) dropped out without completing a lap.
