Cold Clare was in the middle of the field early, hilt came with n run to beat Steiucliiise and Yitement. who were fairly well plared on reachintr the course proper. SI ci'iichiixe improved a lot on recent form. Cold Clare impressed as I ike I v lo oo on winniiio. and Teak and l-'ilct'to i-liowed i-peed, but were stoppin- al the end. Density went very last early, only to -hut up badly. She will I ii' lie Ii t by the race, which was her lirsi for some months. l.aroiiiic and* (lay I'n rude never looked -la libelous. Great Sprint Win. Ha kahn no" registered a jrood effort to win the Telegraph Handicap very easily. She was never far from the front and cleared away ill the filial furloiifr to pay a hijr dividend. Hacker* evidently forgot her success at. Hieenrtmi, and only thought of her recent Mil mi wa tu failures. Black Thread looked like beinj; neoond less than a furlong from the post, but tired, and Lady Inn headed him easily, while Alunga snatched third position on the post. Alunga's third was A smart per- <

early, but dropped out a good way from home. Argentic, am usual, was a long way back early, but finished strongly. The Bigot, proclaimed a* a possible winner at the straight entrance, collamed I'n the run home. Peerles* also failed to stay, and Queen of .Song never got into the picture. Defaulter'* performance wan the outstanding feature of the race. It wan one of the most impressive seen from a three-year-oM in any important handicap in the Dominion. An Exhibition. Diamond Cutter made un exhibition of the Held in the Trentham Highweight Handicap. He had been racing only moderately In hack aprint company, but showed plenty of speed here. Punurua, after briny second ninwt of the way, found 1 the mile a trifle too far. Patches ami Lone Raider were both ataying on and may do Jietter. Bumble was also putting in good work at the end, where Youssipof was going well. Prime Quality got into trouble early, but made up a lot of ground in the straight. His turn may come soon. Imprtuiv* Victory. Bcaullvre won the Wellington Stakes very eaaily. He ahook off Te Hero after three furlongs had been covered, and went on to score in impressive style. It was ,« good performance, and it emphasised more than ever that High f.'aate i* an exceptional youngster. Konneta put up a smart effort in second place, and "he at lick 011 well. Te Hero was a disappointment. Starting wide out., lie wim hit inly to Beaulivre early, but cut up badly when required to go 011 in the straight though, and then came on again, without urging, when the race wiis till over. Pen gavo a creditable showing in fourth position, with Katlilieila next, 'Die result was received with great cheering. Heuulivrc'a owner, who 1* not In good health, is one of Wellington's iiKiwt popular sportsmen. Ecstatic Tire^ Kcstatlc showed great speed when she tried to win the Apprentices' Piute from end to end, but she stopped liadly in the run home and just held on to pet aecond. She will win another nice soon over six furlong*. Ituatiti was always handy, and once 110 made a move in the straight, the issue was not in doubt. He is a smart three-year-old and will Improve. Wardreas, after beginning well, could not hold her place, ibut she pasaed several horse* iu the run borne to get third. She I# one to keep in mind for early improvement. Passaform and Florence Mills [began badly, and, -while the la tter did not show up, Passu form came home solidly in fourth place. He will be hard to beat at a mile. Capricious was not far >lx>hind the leader at the cud, after being well placed all Hie way. Confidence Justified. La Bru, a well-grown (Illy by Beau lVre from the Oak* winner .Mundane, justified the conflrteu'e of her admirers by leading all th< way in the Fitzherbert Handicap. S'm had run a second at Awapuni and appear* to be ou the

1 formance, as he got away ltadlv. Far- <$> ' land, after being one of the leaders | from the start, collapsed in the last furlong, while Smoke • Screen and 1 Oratory, who were prominent early, were l>eaten a long way from home. Top Row was not far out of the money at the finish, but Phalanx and Toro Koura went only fairly well. Paper Slipper wan always near Ihe rear. Won By a Nose. Haughty Winner, after showing good form at the Wairarapa meeting, registered a very attractive effort to win the Anniversary Handicap. Always well placed, lie came home resolutely to snatch a narrow win. He is back to his be«t form and will get some more money aooii. The three-year-old Amigo looked a winner until the Riccarton gelding arrived with a determined challenge. Ami go's turn will come soon. Laughing Lass, without being hurried, was well placed at the home turn, and finished strongly, as did Rabble, another who arrived only in the straight. , Trench Fight 'carried his big weight like a good horse, coming home very solidly to narrowly miss third place. Cleesamor was stopping in the straight, but not so badly aa Mister Quex, the i pacemaker to the straight. DungarVan 1 collapsed a long way from home. , APPRENTICES' PLATE of *300. Hack conditions.
