Midsummer Meetius is regarded l<j<-ally as at beet ouly an off meeting, and it selaom serves to attract much outside competition, the Tacing being generally confijiwl to horses in training locally. The meeting thLs year was no exception to the usual rule, as with phe exception of a small contingent from the South aud one Nort'j Islander, all the horses were locally engaged. Tbo day was close a.nd s-till. and the going v little unrd, while the attendance of the iuibli<- was small and business very slow, only £3000 going through the tote, an anrotui't which is a little less than that handled last year. Raga.brash. the winner of the Hirrnby Welter, has been a marked disappointment ever since Sir (Jeo. Clifford purchased n«r at the Auckland Summer Meeting hist season, when she was supposed to be in foal to Soult. llt party to-day did not espect t.> see her win: her victory was a complete stu-prise to the sporting fraternity. Only the fact tli-.it Hewitt had the mount caused her to be backed as she w-as. 1 v the ruce itself She buried everything for pace •at the finish. Nell Gwynne and Djin-Djin were others in the race chat shaped well. The Filly Stakes was regarded as -a good thing for Tessera, but after two false starts, ia which Qulcknre did a lot of work. Sir George Clifford's filly had to be shaken up to beat the Hotohkiss filly, who finished like a tradesmau. IV Taiaiia, the North Inland representative, made 'hacks of his aeld in the Telegraph Handicap, running the four furlongs in SOsec. He is not sound, however, and his party were gl-ad to dispose of him at £40 to Mr Slieenau. who was running the winner with a view to getting a good division of money with the dub, he owning tlie horse that iin second, being the purchaser. The Midsummer Handicap saw a good finish between Cannie Cuicl and De la Rey. The two were together all the way, and were locked in tUe run h-ome. Cannie Chiel got an terms witn the light weight once, but the other coruing asain scored on the post by a bare half head. Tie distance is apparently a little far for Cannie Chiel. There was another close finish in the Lyttelon Plate between Malakoff and Ctoryeeis. Malakoff got well away, the filly being slow to move. The big horse ' was winning- easily 40 yards from home, bin. Ckryseis eosne with a great rattle and.
catching Hewitt mipping-. secured the verdict by a short half head.
