TWO COURSE RECORDS ESTABLISHED.

The summer meeting of the Auckland Racing Club, was continued at Ellerslie yesterday in fine though dull weather. There was a large-attendance and the racing was most interesting throughout. In the Newmarket Handicap Lady Quex ran the six furlongs in 1.12 2-5, which is the best that has ever been done over the distance on this course, while in the Glasgow Handicap Tenakoe covered seven furlongs in 1.25, which also creates a record for the course. Kara-' poti, who won the Derby, covered the mile and a half in 2.32 3-5, which equals the race record of Desert Gold, who ran similar time when she won the Derby in 1916. Karapoti has only once been beaten in his last six starts and his two Accesses at Ellerslie during the last week stamp him as one of the best three-year-olds seen out for a long time. During the day the sum of £70,930 was put through the machine compared with £74,182 10/ for the. corresponding day last season, a decrease of '£3252 10/- -This made a total for the three days of £226,534 10/ against £267,674 10/ for the first three days of the summer fixture last year, a decrease of £41,140.
