Tlip fi.'liK at Homraut on fiaturdav \vi'n> small in most of tho rvonts, and it, fivi- out of tho oiglit races only one dividend was paid. Mnulu'.s win in the Ilororata Cup on Saturday was the first suecess lie lias .-cored "Miiee his two-year-old season. Last, year Ito raced six times without gaining a place. Mr T. H. Lowry's team for Auckland will probably consist of five representatives—Desert Gold. Halboa. and Kgypt are certainties, but the liftli i.-- not yet decided noon. It is very likelv to be Lady Kihvortlt. The public sized up the'situation in regard to the trotting events at Horornta on Saturday very accurately, and in each case the three horses that received most support finished in the order in v.-hich tltoy were backed. The Hiccarton hor.scma.n,-t\ Kmerson, put up a. gond record at Hororata f<u Saturday, when be had five mounts, won three races, and was second once and third once. On the same course last- year Emerson rode in five raccs and won iour of them. During the running of the Hororata Cup on Saturdav. Gnome- swung wide at the entrance to the straight, carrying Multum in Parvo out with him. T. Mussen. tho rider of Gnome, was afterwards called before th<; stewards and cautioned. The Auckland Trotting Chib has, on the whole, received very good entries for its approaching Summer Meeting. The Auckland Trotting tries aro a little disappointing. The sixteen hordes entered include f*t. I'rsula, Eniilius, Mandarene. Dr. Chutney, Jewel' Chimes, Cathedral Chimes" and Princess Sherwood. The tinn's registered at the W nipa llai-inc Cltib's Annual Meeting, held at Hamilton on Saturday, wore vorv fast, and Torotoro. the winner of the Maiden llandicap \vas credited -with a fraction under iniin 14sec for the six furlongs. Soldier's time in the principal event— 2min 7scc for the mile and a-quarter— gave rise to some discussion on the course, and it w found that several private watches made the time nearly two seconds blower. Probably the private times throughout the day were the more reliable.

The plough track at Ilicearton. which was the only one in commission on Saturday, was apa in used the way in the early hours hy horses likely to ho present at the Auckland Racing Club's Summer Meetinc. The track provided c°°d going, hut the strong nor'-wester which was blowing, raised a lot of dust and caused no littlo incon%'cnience. Wardancer and Good Hopo sprinted a nice six. furlongs in 1.19 2-o. Tho former luid a pull in the weights, and seemed to he moving the easier at the finish. "NVisebird's task ivas over the same course, but at only a good three-quarter pate. Emperador had tho better of Greer street over five furlongs along tho back of the course, and the Charlemagne 11. gelding was a couple of lengths to the good over the last halfmile. which took OOec to accomplish Warstep (G. J. Pine) and Snub (Musson) were, companions in a run over a mile and a quarter, which was cast behind in 2.12 l-o. The first three furlones were run rather slowlv in the face of tiie heavy -,vi;id. but along the back the pace was clapped on, and both finished tin well. Xanthos and Ticino were togeihvr throughout a run over about half a mile up the back., both going freely. Flyiiv; Start and 'Sebastian were the last pair to work the reverse way, and the former was much better than his Companion at tho end of six furlongs, run in 1.17 IWj. Court Martial and Adjutant encompassed a mile nicely, and. finishing together. got through their work well in 1.10 ---j. Ciirvsotis ran a mile and a quarter alone in 2.13 •)-"). .she had the wind at her back over the couple ol furlongs, and was moving free'v over the last lialf-nr.ie. Encore, 'vlio did not seem out for time, sprinted half a mile with a light "eight u-> in 19 4-o. Battle Kve and Winterbourne, b<;tli of whom have been havinr nn easy titiiu since the New Zealand Cup 2»fcctmg. look well, and wore brushed over two furlongs. Sartorzo has boon sharpened "i> with his ra"imr and fast wcirk bincf! the Cup Carnival. at:d his run over six furlongs in I.IH M-. - } an attractive one, though tho conditions were much in his favour. Scotch Melodv is fei-ling the effect* of tlie hard tracks, but moved with plenty determination over a round oil t!ie plough.
