AUTUMN MEETING

CHAMPAGNE STAKES AND GREAT j EASTER HANDICAP.

Easter Monday racing at Riccarton has always been highly attractive and very popular, and certainly yesterday's sport at" tho familiar rendezvous was of cjiiit-o the best standard. There was naturally a big crowd with such pleasant weather conditions, and we dare say th© attendance was fully up to the average gathering upon nn Easter Monday, if it did not beat all tho existing records as regards tho number cf people, and the gate and totalisator j receipts. Probably Riccarton at Easter ; never looked better than it did yesterj day, and a word of praise is certainly | due to Mr Mitchell, tho caretaker, | with whom gardening is a delightful j hobby, and tho upkeep of the racing j and training tracks and various lawns J a labobr of love. The perfect weather |of the paf-t six weeks has helped thc flowers at Riccarton very much, and . tho floral display »at tho course is really excellent. Tho totalisator business was always pretty busy; but now and then thc shortage of receiving windows resulted in the shutting out of

considerable sums of money. Especially was this noticeablo at tho ten shilling windows, of which thero were not nearly- enough. With proper

accommodation probably £.3000 moro

would have passed through the totalizator. We have seen Mr Piper mako

many better starts than some ho effected yesterday. No doubt the slackness of tho riders was responsible for sonic cf the apparently ragged dotspntchcK, but in one or two instances Mr Piper could not havo noticed how b_idly a competitor was placed, or how

unready another may havo been. During the day the totalisator investments aggregated £2-3.200 10s, an increase of £'3300 10s as compared with tho machine receipts on tho Easter Monday of last season.

The real business of the day commenced with the Kildai'o Hurdle Race, in which Mr John Buckley loft in Dorando in preference to Fisticuff. The other runners were Gold Bird, and Jack Ashore. The last-named was indulged with the lead, his rider seemingly not allowing his mount all tho freedom he wanted. Dorando and Cold Bird were always lying handy till five furlongs from homo, whoro x Gold Bird was being troubled by his weight, and m tho turn for. the straight Dorando ran up to .Tack Ashore and jumped tho last hurdlo safely. Ho ran home an easy winner. Dorando was big in condition, but ho ran his race out very well, and the time. 3min 49 l-sth see, was by no means slow.

Ike five named oh the race card turned out for the Champagne Stakes, Sir Georgo Clifford being represented by Autumnus and Winning Way, "Mr Highdon" by Ermeugarde, ".Messrs Stead by Bon Ton, and Mr Greenwood by Gnome. Ermeugarde, who was a, staunch favourite, hardly seemed- to bo as full of fire as she has been*during othor times in the season, and certainly her racing was not in keeping with her usual form. Bon Ton has not made tho improvement expected by some pr-oplo who formed a- good opinion ol him -at the Summer Meeting of tho C.J.C.. Autumnus was tlio pick of the field on appearances, and ho was looking in. really capital condition. Winning Way appeared just as racy looking as ever, and though scarcely cherry ripe, sho made a. very good fight for second- place, just being beaten by the very resolute Gnome. Tho last-named - was the plainest customer of the live runners; but there is not tho shadow cf a. doubt about his Sameness. Ho fought out his race cxErmengnrdo was the smartest ,0 ay, and she led Bon Ton and

ftummis by a." length for the first Vurtion of tho .journey. Bon Ton was in front for a little, and then Ermeugarde resumed the lead. The Chokeboro Lodge colt drew up to hes- after going a couple, or" hundred yards, and making tho turn into the straight ho forged ahead. At the distance Autumnus had Ermeugarde beaten, and as a matter of fact tho Oharlomagno 11. filly made no sort of ai fight when she was collared, a circumstance that makes one think she could not have been herself. Autumnus finished up his task in, fine style, and had a- good reception on returning to scale, far ho had established a ircsh time record by iv inning" in lmin Msec. Ermengarde finished fourth,, well clear of Bon Ton, who was ridden all the iray ivith ono stirrup. The victory of Autumnus marked, tho seventh occasion on which Sir George Clifford's colours have been successful ill tho race, and the third timo in succession, Madam "Madcap and Counterfeit having won respectively in the two previous yours. The. long straight suited Autumnus very well, and ho strode homo .in quite convincing style.

Scratching* reduced the field for tho .Autumn Plato at fixed iv eights, to seven, lilakeney was made an odd'son favourite, and for three-parts of the journey 1m looked like tho winner, for he got awa*y very smartly, and jtoon had a big break of daylight between •himself and the rest of'the field. At tho turn into the straight Mira, who had gradually threaded his way through tho field, was in second place, and after a. bit of a struggle tho grey camo on and bent tho favourite by a wider margin than the length allowed by the. judge. Mira—the way in which the Maoris pronounce tho name of tho ex-Minister of Railways—is tho son of Tauhei and full brother to Iranui. He is engaged in tho Great Autumn Handicap to-day in which ho will have to put up a penalty of 71b bringing his Height to 7st.

Of tho sixteen figuring on tho card for tho Great Easter Handicap only Countermine was withdrawn, tho very satisfactory field of fifteen going to tho post. Bronze, who carried the coniidenco of a large number of people and much North Island money, was a picture of blooming condition, and «;ho certainly looked trained to the hou: - .

I Dearest hits grown into a very fine [ mare, and she, too, in common with | the largo majortiy of thc runners, was I in admirable "iettle and she had plenty ol" friends. Royal .Scotch and Belle two other* Xorth Island representatives, were afco well supported. Masterpiece at tho present time is about as well as he ever was in his life and he was looking splendid. Culprit and Byron bore a welltrained appearance and there were plenty of admirers for Tiirna and Effort, while Capon had some very sanguine friends. At- tho finish Culprit, Masterpiece and Bronze were the favourites in the order their names are written, with Gipsy Belle and Byron next, while Royal Scotch, who had been first favourite in ante-post betting since the appearance of the weights was only seventh favourite when the machine closed. No horse went better than Royal Scotcii in the preliminary gallops and he ccrtninlv looked fit enough to run for n kingdom. The start was by no moans one of Mr Piper's most successful efforts, though perhaps if some of tho j

jockeys engaged had been more alert tho despatch would not have been so uneven- Culprit very soon took tho lend after Dearest had shown in front for a few lengths, and moving very smoothly Messrs Stead'! filly raced at tho head of affairs for over five fur-

longs. Once in the straight Royal Scotch made up the ground very quickly and having a clear run in tho middle of the course he rapidly overhauled the tiring Culprit. One hundred yards from the post he was on terms and then camo away to win vorv comfortably. Byron who also came very fast over the last three furlongs found an opening ot the rails and just got up in timo to beat Culprit for second money. Bronze who was boxed in on tho rails coming round tho turn had to come out and find a passage on the outside. When sho did got clear she put in a great- run and was closo up in fourth place. Masterpiece ran disappointingly, hut it is said ho got a bump when entering tho straight and afterwards was always floundering.

The Russley Plato was a runaway victory for Stardancer, whose track form had been of a very attractive nature. The win of tho Martian—Stepdancer filly was popular, and Mr C. G. Dalgety, who is now chairman of tho Canterbury Jockey Club, was warmly congratulated upon his first success since assuming office. Stardancer was chased for most of thc way by Mr G. D. Greenwood's nekling Oxenhone, by Obligado from C'yrenirenne. a bi_ fellow, who is obviously high enuraged. Toviotdale. the colt by Achilles from the Gipsy Grand maro Strathspey, has grown into a very fino colt, and though, perhaps, a littlo too big for early racing, ho should mako a very fine three-year-old. Bon Soir. by Boniform from Curfew Beil, is a com-pactly-built colt, very like his sire about tho head, and he may come on. Po'reneV; sister, Achilla, is not so attractive to the eye as her relative. Glenfmnan is evidently a lazy customer, and had tho whin on him early in the race.

__ Odessa having run in tho Great Easter Handicap was taken out of tho Sockburn Handicap, for which tho h0r.40 with tho track reputation, Coroniforin, was made a firm favourite. Fourth was as near as ho could got in tho race, tho winner being Tho Comet, who was a well-backed second favourite. Muniura made the running after Rose Noble had showed tho way for nearly a furlong. True Kni;rhfc and The Cornet were in second and third positions all alon_ the back, and well into the straight, when both headed Mumura. The Coi'net, 7st lib, and Trno Knight, Gst 101b, were served by their light weights, and tho Greymouthowned gelding, running on very gamely, hao just won when tho tiost." was reached. Roso Noblo was third, and the flat-catching favourite fourth.

After Friwolliti had won the Girhernck Bare, and had been bought in at £40, the way was clear for the Courtenay Welter Handicap, for which ; Kilmony had been taken out of the Autumn Plate. Heatherbrae, Mart'ne, Mi«n Advance, and Colightly, wero tho absentees, and of the seven starters Theodore. Thistledown, and Colleen Mary were all well backed. Thistledown was in front after Theodore had led for about thirty yards, and never being headed afterwards she won comfortably from Tik'tere, with Stevedore third and Probable fourth.

Following are the details of the racing:— KILDAUE HUBBLE HANDICAP, of 150 soys; eocond 20 eovs, and third 10 soys from stake. Two ttii <s. 2. J.
