Fine weather prevailed for the spring meetincr of the T\ aikato 1 rotting Club held at Claudelands, Hamilton, to-day. There was a good attendance and the track was in good order. Horse.* trained by C. S. Donald, Belfast, Christ church, won the two principal events, Lindbergh taking the Mark Memorial Handicap and Pearl Logan annexing the Stewards' Handicap by half a length after a great race, heads dividing several of the others for second, third and fourth positions. The public were fairly well on the mark for the first three races, but Gold Sovereign and Our Nancy, who scored in the next two events, were both seventh favourites. However, much better-backed ones in Pearl Logan, Master Huia and Great Parrish were later successful. The sum of £21.985 was put through the machine, compared with £22.253 for the meeting held last December, a decrease of £2(38. The Big Race. All the acceptor? went to the post for the Mark Memorial Handicap, and Mountain Dell (£1054) 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 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 Del; 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 Deli, 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, Tonv Victor, Great Peter and Oakhampton. An Outsider Scores. There were no withdrawals from the Hamilton Handicap. Etta Cole ( £718) wa<? most in demand, with Akenehi (£47S) next best backed, while Gold Sovereign carried only £206. Floraline broke up at the start.

When they came round again Anseline was attended by Lackiewood, Appeal, Gold Sovereign, Kolmar, Peter McKinney and Etta Cole. Anseline still led along the back from Gold Sovereign, Appeal, Peter McKinney and Etta Cole. Etta Cole broke, and there was not much between Anseline and Gold Sovereign as they turned for home, with Peter McKinney next. Gold Sovereign went on to win by a length and a half from Anseline, who beat Peter McKinney by three lengths. Etta Cole finished strongly in fourth place, with Appeal, Kolmar and Lackiewood next. A Good Finish. Arachne was the only one that failed to keep her engagement in the Claude lands Handicap. "Polly's Picture (£694) was best backed, while Enawah (£570) was next in order of favouritism. However, the winner turned up in Our Nancy, who had only £110 invested on her chance. At the start Hori Dillon refused j to settle down, and Polly's Picture alsolost a lot of ground. Passing the stands | the first time Enawah was in charge I from Bell DiaJ, Our Nancy and Explosion. When they ran along the straight the second time Enawah was followed by Polly's Picture (who had made up ground fast), Explosion, Our Nancy and Bell Dial. Along the back Polly's Picture and Enawah were together, well clear of Our Nancy, but before reaching the top Our. Nancy closed on the leaders, and entering the straight the order was Polly's Picture, Explosion and Our Nancy, the others having no chance. In a good finish Our Nancy got the verdict by three-quarters of a length from Polly's Picture, with Explosion half a length away third. Then came Bell Dial, Haeranga Pai, Enawah and Hal Chimes.

The order was much the same into the straight where Pearl Logan drew away to win by half a length from Brutus, who beat Joy Bird by a head. Bawldy Locanda and Mountain Dell were right up next, heads separating them from the third horse. Bawldy Locanda was placed fourth with Mountain Dell, Nella Dillon and Vendome next. The President's Handicap. Akenehi was the only scratching for the President's Handicap, and Peterson ( £584), Etta Cole (£423) and Master Ifuia ( £3-51) were best backed, while Floraline only carried £58 10/.
