Feilding Races.

Ruanui Beats Blimp In Cup. Lady Quex Score 9 In Classic. (By Telegraph.—.Special to "Star.") PEILDING, this day. There is a large crowd at the opening of the Feilding Jockey Club's spring meeting. The weather is glorious, and the track, in consequence, is in splendid order. Otairi Wins Easily. Otairi returned to the batten game in the Waituna Hurdles after a long absence in which all of his racing was done on the flat, and, giving a faultless displayof jumping, fairly outclassed the opposition and won very easily. He was never further back than third or fourth, and after taking the lead from Royal Damon at the five-furlong post had the race always in his keeping. Disrank showed improvement in his running as compared with his one effort at Riccarton, and he made a big effort to get to Otairi over the last half mile, but he could make very little impression on the leader and was two lengths away at the end. Shining Armour, after holding his position in the middle of the field most of the way, passed several tiring horses in the straight, to finish third, six lengths back. Call Again, Novar and Lady Mid were doing best of the others over the final stages. Royal Damon and Royal Acre failed after going well for part of the way. The form of Democratic, Otairi's stable mate, was in striking contrast to hie Trentham efforts. Cloyne fell at the second fence, when in the lead, and his rider (W. Home) broke his collarbone.

Trial Plate. Both divisions of the Aorangi Trial Plate were won from end to end, and in each case the winner was called on towithstand a determined challenge in the straight, and succeeded in doing so, only by a narrow margin. Knollmere, t who scored in the second section, probably gave a more striking performance than the winner of the first section, Seneschal, and his time was over a second better. Seneschal is a three-year-old chestnut gelding by Chief Ruler from Elvent, and is trained at Marton by P. C. Macky. The only one to trouble him in the race was the warm favourite, Laconic, but he held on to the lead to win by a head. Baekier was a poor third in thi6 division, being two lengths further back. The .best of the others were Catherine of Aragon, Myola, Tar Baby and Protomint. Knollmere, who won the second division at his first start, is a three-year-old brown gelding,by Grandcourt from Orozino, and is thus closely related to Desert Gold. He is trained at Wanganui by W. H. Dwyer. Pewa, whom he beat by a neck, had a lot of ground to make up in the straight and was a bit unlucky. Beverage was a poor third, four lengths away, and the best of the others were Flute, Queanbeyan, Black plane and Futurist.
