Rii-n last night made the track soft for the commencement of the third day of the inter-Dominion trotting meeting at Aldington to-day.

There was a good attendance for an off day, the investments totalling £32,029 10/, making the aggregate for the three days £136,035. After IT Scott's win in the third heat of the third qualifying race a protest was entered against the winner and the committee's decision will be announced after a meeting to-morrow night.

The third qualifying race of the interDominion Championship Handicap was run over two miles. In the first heat Blair Athol led out from Village Guy and Big Author. Bonny Azure moved up fast after a furlong, and at the end of half a mile ehe was showing the way to Worthy Light, Village Guy and . Blair Athol, who were in line in front of Big Author and Laay unildewood. There was not much change starting on the last lap, Bonny Azure being out clear and gaining ft special lap prize of £50. She led Blair Athol, Lady Childewood and Big Author Along the back, where King's Warrior, Indianapolis and Parisienne were moving up. Blair Athol, Lady Childewood, Bonny Azure, Parisienne and King's Warrior were almost in line at the entrance to the straight, where Parisienne drew out, beating King's Warrior by a length, with Blair Athol three lengths back, three lengths in front of Lady Childewood, with Big Author following after another gap. For the first time in the series the winner did not get the fastest time, King's Warrior securing the points attached to that position. Parisienne won handsomely, •nd must rank as the best pacing mare ever produced in New Zealand. Indianapolis was well placed three furlongs from home, but failed to come on. Kernel Lu «nd Willow Wave lost ground at the start.

The Second Heat. In the second heat Double Great led out from Rocks Ahead, while Plutus was soon m third place, Nervie'* Laet, Kernel Lu, Cloudy- Range and Lncky Jack following the three leader# after half a mile. »u i® waa I®' much change starting on the last round. Rocks Ahead broke going to the back, where Kernel Lu took second f' ace - Lucky Jack and Nervie's Last then moved up fast, and were in charge three furlongs from home, with Plutus »nd Cloudy Range heading the others, ■lie leading pair were well clear at the entrance to the straight, but Nervie'e Last was being driven hard a little further on, Lucky Jack beating him easily. Five engthg back Cloudy Range stayed on to beat Plutus for third, with Willow Wave next. The performance of Lucky Jack winning his second heat of the big event was impressive. He is a great yer and a stablemate of Pariaienne, so he gave R B. Berry his fifth heat in the series. This pair will be « tine bracket for the Grand Final on turday. Double Great won the lap prize.
