Handlcapper-J. B. Henry. Secretary—W. H. K. Wanklyn. The annual Summer Meeting of the Canterbury Jockey Club was held on Saturday in delightful weather, the day being simply perfect. Nevertheless the attendance was email, do more than 1200 people belnß present. The Summer Meeting! at Riccarton hare invariably been very sparsely attended, and they have usually been ran at a lose, aud the meeting under notice will not prove an exception. The earn of £3050 was passed through the totalisatora, which Iβ some £400 more than was pat through last year. The fields were very j good, and in point of numbers and average j quality compared favourably with previous seasons. There was some in- j terestlng racing, to that circumstances combined to make the gathering altogether » most enjoyable one. A lot of small bettors were doing business outside the paddock, and tseveral plied their calling within the lawn and paddock enclosure, with the result that three alleged layers of the odds, were removed from the grounds under Instructions from the Secretary, while other* who were not actually caught in the act, but were strongly suspected of doing so, have h*d their names registered. This ti the first time totalisator odds layers have been removed from the lawn at Riccarton. The starting was carried out by Mr Boyle in a satisfactory manner, Gray , * machine being used In most of the races. In the absence of the official handlcapper, Mr Henry, who was detained by bad weather, the handicap for the final event was made by two memhers of Committee, who bad the satisfaction of seeing a field of ten out of thirteen horses handicapped go to the post. The opening event of the day was the Hornby Welter, for which a field of six saddled up, Doubtful, a fin* looking son of Chantllly and Silver Spec, a strapping fine filly by Artillery, beine made first favourites, being equally backed in the lawn totalisator, but Silver Spec was favourite outside. Barnardo spoilt bis chance by whipping round at the start. Mew Headford and Doubtful made the running, Busybody being last, and Silver Spec a length or two in front of the latter as they ran round the back. Mr Harris' filly, however, dashed up to the leaders at the turn, and with her Lord Zetland, and after the semblance of a race between the pair, the Musket blood asserted itself,and R. Ray landed SilverSpec aratbereasy winner. The Middle Park Plate produced a fair field, but the race was voted a foregone conclusion for Bloodshot, and so It proved, as he went to the front after once getting on his legs, and was never fieadea, Maxim's son winning with ease from Sir George Clifford's pair, the best of which, contrary to expectations of the stable, proved to be Golden Vale, but Nautilus Shell, it must be noted, got her legs into the wire which fences the track on the inside, and this, perhaps, spoilt her chance. Nothing looked better than the winner, albeit he wa*s rather excitable at the post, and "once rushed under the tapes in nil anxiety to get away. St. John Was fit enough to the eye, but could not SO the pace for the last furlong. Aqualate oat out the running In the Midsummer Handicap, a* if golug for a half-mile spin, and so great was her speed that she covered the first four furlonga in fifty seconds. At that stage Chaos was about twelve lengths away, second, Geraint being last , of all. Aqnalate was still In front at the end of a mile, but Chaos then went to the front, attended by Silver Spec, but once in the straight Lady Zetland came and literally cantered home an easy winner in capital time, her condition being too superior for the other starters. ArtUleur wan mado favourito in the Selling Race, but he could only get third to Wedlock, the disappointing Reflector splitting the pair. The Craven Plate resulted in a splendid race home. After Golden Fleeca> Loveahot, and Foresight bad in turn looked dangerous, Barmby came with a brilliant run, and Saracen also put In a stout claim, and the pair raced home at an undlminlshed pace, drew away from the others, and, what looked like a win for Barmby to many people was pronounced a head victory to the favourite Saracen, who once more showed what a good horse he Is over a short course. Sunrise was made a strong order for the Interval Stakes, wh'ch he won after a good race from New Headtord. who started at a forlorn price in the totailaators. Bach of the jockeys in this race were fined 41. The starting machine was not used in that event. The Post Stakes, with a field of ten, was an interesting race, and Barmby cleverly pat Sown Chaos In the ran home. The following are the results :—

New Headford forged slightly •head of Doubtful before reaching the top turn and Lord Zetland had taken dose order, Silver Spec also having gone up. After rounding the bend a few lengths only divided the field and Lord Zetland waa ahowlog in front when heads were turned for home. Before the, distance was reached Doubtful and New Headford retired beaten, and the other three came on well abreast. Under punishment Silver Spec drew away from Lord Zetland at the half distance, and keeping her place won by a length and a half, two lengths between second and third, Donbtful and New Headford some lengths away.

The fractlousnees of Bloodshot caused oonsiderable delay at the poet, but when the tapes of the starting machine shot up he was the first to get under way and aettled down a length clear of Medicos, Alcestls being third.

Lady Zetland and Aqualate were the quickest on their legs, and the latter at once dashed to the front, and passing Gutts' had opened up a gap of ten lengths between herself and the next, Chaos being in that position, just heading Silver Spec and Lady Zetland, Geraint the whipper-in, in close attendance. Aqualate still held her commanding lead as the back stretch was entered, Silver Spec and Chaos being the closest 01 the pursuers, Lady Zetland having dropped into last place.. The top weight, however, soon gave Gemini; the go by, he dropping back before the six furlong past was reached. At that ooinc , Aqualate. was still well clear of Chaos, the second, bub she was perceptibly coming back to the field, and after rounding the top turn her advantage was reduced to four lengths. Still at the head of affairs when heads were turned for horae I Aqualate shortly after beat a retreat, and Chaos came on in front of Silver Spec, I with Lady Zetland coming fast on the outside. Before the distance was reached the top weight had taken the measure of the only two opponeuts she had left, and speedily cutting them down she won very easily by two lengths from Chaos, who was a neck in advance of Silver Spec. Aqualate finished fourth, six length* away, Gerainc a bad last. Time, 2min 37i«c. Totalisator, inside, 287-U3-.W Us; oucaide, 218-105-£2 2s (3d. The Selling Rack, of 50 sova.

While colours could be distinguished it was seen that Foresight, Loveshoo and Golden Fleece formed the leading division, with Brltomarte, Barmby and Saracen. After going three furlongs Golden Fleece had assumed command, aud, followed by J Foresight and Lovesbot, the bearer of the blue and white chequers turned into the straight, half way up l which, however, Loveahot retired, and Barmby and Saracen made a forward move. Barmby was full of running at the distance, and Deirett had him under a strong pull until thirty yards from the post, when Saracen, hard riidea- by Cochrane, came very strongly, and Derrett commenced 10 move on Barinby, and the pair flashed past the post stride for stride, the verdict of the judge being a head victory for Saracen, Foresight two lengths away third.
