The Mile Saddle. In the Electric Handicap the position was apam sorted up fairly well, but the order of favouritism wa.s reversed by the actual niacins. Wbeiii, third favourite, beating: barknite. second in demand, with the favourite. Knur hillon. third. Whetu wa.s in front all the way. do-M-ly attended by kiiiw i'llloii and I>arkmie. Along the back Kinjr Piiion drew up to Whotu. but in the run home the former railed to po "ii when a.-ked, anil Whetu won decisively l)\ two lengths from liarknite. which over- j hauled Kunr lullon half a furinna- from the pi.-it. to heat linn by a ban , length for I -econd. Rarebeli Direct wa.s always at the ] heart of the second bunch, but was fully | -i\ lengths, away, in fourth position, at the iini-h. Whetu was ridden by .1.

Mnishinir rast. . beat Bruce fur second place, with SUitrs- i <ioii a lenirifi further back. The winner I bad a lot in reserve, and now that he g-oes i away rifrln should be heard of at the meeting-. The Trotters' Race. The unhoppied trotters a-avf a rood e-ihibitioTi in the -rewards' Handicap, but tin- favourite, -wirtbme, stood on the mark. Rostrevor showed a lot of spceii. and made, lip all Ins handicap in the Mrst hair mile. He wa.s sun m rront turning ror home, but failed to stall off Lazarus In tin- ilnal run. Tli<- latter was trip second winner for T. Wallis during- tile day. Tile i son of Petereta is settling down well, and Will be m the top fllirht before the present I season 13 tlnished. Audomimon was not s,, j reliable as the two which llmshed In front I of him. but ran a really (rood race. He is fast coming- back to form ag-ain. Prince Pointer Wins.

TeneriiTe took up the runninir ; "aiiy. and still had command turning mlo | the straight the last time, but he had to ifive way to Taurekareka, wiiich in turn, railed to survive Prince Pointer's chal- . leng-e. The latter won by a lenfrth and α-hair, and there was a lot of merit in bis success, which was fully appreciated by the public, thoug-h the favourite was beaten. or the unplaced lot. Florrie i Hinireii and Brutus did be-t.. and thp latter can be ki-pt in riniid for early Improvemet. Favourite Unlucky. Talaro, Rebel, and Black .\dmiral wer>: ' the elect of backers in the Seiwyn Handi- ! cap. It was ,-i particularly interesting: | race. Talaro wa.s not the most fortunate horse in the tunning-, and had to leave his run a trifle too late to |ret Black Admiral, which was always well placed behind i Rebel, which was the pacemaker until . turning - for home. Rebel stopped quickly j in the last furlong-, and was beaten into rhird place by the rast finishing- Harold ' H'.irwood. liolden ~un. Ki~sinir ijlp. Lord Nepean, and Peter kin>r did l)p-t of tli'remainder. Kean John ran a lot bo low I his form. A Surprise.
