This reliance Is not misplaced, for those in authority if nil y re'•ogiase their responsibilities, but certain happenings recently woiil u go to show that they_ must not relax their efforts even lv the slightest degree, and it Is to be hoped tltarvif they do manage to -get an offender thex-will not hesitate to make an example.

THE AUCKLAND CUP. j The contest for the Auckland Oup on niwdav was <,»> .»f the most Interesting' In the. 'history at (he race, and It is a lon*- I time since an important event wa» s,> i cleanly run There was a big field of seventeen, but there was no interference »»f any consequence at any stage, aud this was , n mos; pleasing feature. "Winning Hli ' carted : lie field along a I a solid pace, ami when I hey entered the straight Insurrection, "Boomer-day and Income were his , nearest attendants, and it looked a certainty that the winner would come from one or the quartet, for S.-lou. although he was getting a good run on tv» rails, was well ba.-k. and Muranhi was not in (he picture. It was when Winning Hit and Boomerday fell the pace and gave way thai Insurrection and Income commenced their and ali inteiesi centred on the pair, until as if from Lhe vJouds along came Scion next ihe raljs. and Muraahi on the extreme outside, and there was great fxcltemen- as the quartet went past the judge with Scion a winner hv a neck from Insurrection, win, In.-ouie 'a neck away, third. and Muraahi aitnosi on terms with the last named, ejrioti was responsible for a great final effort, as was Muraahi, for both were ■.veil back when the laM. half-mile was entered on. and they must have covered ibat illstance of ground very fast. An one witnessed the final struggle between Scion aud Insurrection the position of Mr. KMdl ford flashed through, one's mind. The Wellington sportsman's colours were on Scion, while Insurrection, (he most dangerous opponent threatening the gelding, was a present from Mr. Niddtford to his old trainer, Mr. .1. when ihe latter severed his connection with his stable. It was a real sportiug position, and It was a • ertaihty that Mr. Rlddiford would have risen to (lie occasion and been the first to congratulate Mr. I.owe hart the neck Seen the other way about. AUCKLAND RACING CLUB. . THE SUMMER CARNIVAL. roNTINI'MIi ON MONDAY. THE (iREAT NORTHERN DBRBV. The Auckland Racing Hub's Summer Carnival will be continued at EUerslle oo Monday, when the most valuable cfaaaie event in the Dominion, the threat Northern Derby will come up for declslou. The final yaymeut leaves eleven iv (he race. Mr. A. B. Williams with King's Trumpeter iM Rapine being the only owner witJi more than one representative engaged. Enthusiasm, the winner ot the 0..1.C. Derby, is the best performer so for this season among tbe three-year-olds, and she will probably go out favourite, hut it should be a good betting race, for (he Williams' bracket. Highland. Matinee and Rnapapa. are cure to get good support. The last named pair are the hope of the northern stables and if Mntinee takes his place iv the Held a lot of people expect him to run prominently. Sixteen have made the payment for the A.R.f. Handicap and though Income promises to he a good favourite, the lightly weighted division is o very strong one and the race should provide an Interesting contest. The various other events have tilled well and the racing throughout ia certain to be of a high standard. The fixture will be brought to a conclusion on Tuesday, when, in addition to the handicap event*, the Royal Stakes. In which (he leading two-vear-oldg will meet the older horses at weight for age, with penalties and allowances, and the mile and a half weight for nge race..tbe Auckland Plate, will come up for decision. The first race on each day starts at 11.30 a.m. and the acceptances for Monday's racing are :—
