The second trotting fixture of the present season iu Auckland province is being held to-day at Claudelands, where the Wailtato Trotting Club is staging a one-day fixture. This is the first of the country circuit, and there is a good attendance. The weather is fine and the track in good order. Public Commences Well. All started for the Introductory Handicap, with which the meeting opened, and backers went solidly for Paradigm, entrusting him with £417, while Sweet Memory (£287) and Te Ngutu (£279) were most sought after of the others. Wild Downs was the early leader from Paradigm, and Te Ngutu. Wild Downs and Te Ngutu made, mistakes in the early stages, and Paradigm took charge after the first six furlongs, and going past "the stands was twenty lengths clear of Te Ngutu, with Wild Downs half a dozen lengths further back, followed by Temuka and Sweet Memory. Of the leaders, Paradigm was the oniy one doing his work correctly, and he further increased his lead, but was eased up in the run home, eventually winning by four lengths from Te Ngutu, who was five lengths in front of Wild Downs. Sweet Memory was fourth, with Temuka and Togo's Promise next. Bracket First and Second, Carnui was the only defection from the Frankton Hand" ~. My Thorpe ( £544) was first choice, with the bracket, First Flight and Nel de Beau ( £312), and Te Wahia. ( £305) next in request. All went away properly, but Nel do Beau soon opened up a big break, and going along the back was ten lengths in front of Firet Flight and Cornier Bell, with My Thorpe and Kewpie's Guy next. Passing the stands Nel de Beau was three lengths ahead of First Flight, with My Thorpe, Conder Bell, Kewpie's Guy, Inverness and Peter Lloyd following as named. The order was nuicn the same along the back. Nel de Beau was first to turn for home from First Flight and My Thorpe, but First Flight then ran to the front and easily beat Nel de -eau by four lengths, with My Thorpe three lengths away, third. Then came Conder Bell, Peter Lloyd, Limosa and Te Wahia. The Big Race. All the acceptors went to the post for the Mark Memorial Handicap, and Mountain Dell (£lb"s4) and Lindbergh (£870) carried the bulk of the investments In the early part Great Peter, Mountain Dell and Warplane were racing in that order, but Mountain Dell soon took charge and led past the stands from Great Peter, Warplane, Lindbergh, Goldman and' Tony Victor. When they came round again Mountain Dell was attended by Rockburn, Lindbergh, Great Peter and Warplane, but there was not much between them. Along the back Mountain Dell was followed by Lindbergh and Goldman, and then Rockburn ran up fast alongside Mountain Dell, but he soon dropped back again. Mountain Dell was first to straighten up for the judge, just in front of Lindbergh, with Goldman about two lengths away, the others being well back. Lindbergh 'then headed Mountain Dell, who tangled a bit, but soon settled down again. Lindbergh went on to win by two lengths from Mountain Dell, who beat Goldman by three lengths. Then came Cornelian, Tony Victor, Great Peter and Oakhampton. Eesults:— INTRODUCTORY TROT of lOOsovs (for trotters only.) One mile and five furlongs. Limit 4.10.
