WELLINGTON RACING CLUB, THE FIRST DAY. Press Association. WELLINGTON, July 15. The Wellington Racing Club's Winter Meeting was opened at Trentham to-day in cold, wintry weather, but fortunately only one light shower of rain .fell during the afternoon. The racing was of a high-class order, and, considering the large fields which contested the jumping events, falls were few, only two horses, Sportsman and Antarctic, coming to grief, the latter breaking his neck. The going was very heavy, as will be. seen by the times recorded. There was a large attendance, and the sum of £34,146 10/- was put through the totalisator, as compared with £25.577 10/- for the corresponding day last year. Concluding results:— WINTER HURDLES of 600 sovs; second 70 sovs, and third 50 sovs from stake. Two miles. ' 2 T. Byrne's b f Immensity, by Multifid—lmmenschikoff, 4yrs, 9.9,' car. 9.12| <F.

IJi'eak and Royal Arms led at the start, and the latter was in charge at the first fence, but as they entered the straight Leapuki assumed command, and was well clear of Royal Arms, Beacon, Glenorchy, and Flingot, with Te Onga last. Glenorchy took up the running along the back from Immensity,-~Beajfipn, and Royal Arms. Immensity ran past twfenorchy at the five-furlong post, while Royal Arms again became prominent, and a good race home resulted in favour of Immensity by a length and a-half, a length separating second and third. Cloudy Dawn was fourth, Admiral Soult next, and then came Flingot and Sam Pan. Time, 4min lsec. TE ARO HANDICAP, of 140 bovs; second 30 sovs, and third 15 sovs from stake. Six furlongs. 2 J.
