NKW BRIGHTON T.C.'S SUMMER MEETING.

Tiio weather conditions were not particularly pleaeant yesterday for the opening of tlio New Brighton Trotting Club'a bummer Meeting. Tr.f early jiart of the njtemoon was oppressively _ lio'., su-.d the north-west wind that was blowing raised the dust in disagreeable fashion, ttii, nt:i«ance bciujf accentuated by the fact that in vntifiequcucc i>t the building operations that have been carried on', trie enclosure w iUi very much cut up. Fortunately the wind dropped in the latl-cr l>.irt 4--: the day. and a few drops of rain hc.ped t.i ccoi trie atmosphere. The track, though naturally hard and itussty alter the lor.jr ««i>oll oi dry weather, was fast, ar:d in most el the races the winners improved considerably on their handicap time* l ." Since, the. lust Autumn Meeting extensive improvements have, lxren put in hand. The old totalizator house 11113 been placed in the outside enclosure, and a. r.ew and wellequipped bui!din;j lor the handling cf the investment* has !*?tn erected in the irLside enclosure. The stand formerly i;«ed by the official*, which had lonj outlived its vhciulncss, has been pulled down, and in its place has been erected a handsome building providing adequate accommodation for the stewards, tiio oillcials, riders and drive re. and Pros* repieacntutivtss. A broad balcony runnir.e n'ocj; '.he Iront ar.d aides oJ this building afforits a capital view of the racing. The i* not quite completed yet. but it is even now a very marked improvement on titc old fiti'UL-ture. The racing yesterday wa« of ralirer mixed quality. The principal event, tiie Mace Memorial JlandL-ap, provided a capital contest, ua did the lVa*:i Handicap, ar.d tho • Electric Handicap, but some o( the other events were rather ciu>ily won, ui'.d the two races for trotters, tho Ladies' Bracelet Handicap and the Rit* Handicap, both of wnich drew hi? hclda. were anything but exciting.

Mountain Knight has made such a good recovery that it is now regarded oh certain that he will be able to uo stud duty next season. F. Hullock, the Australian horseman, who has ridden with, considerable .sue-t-ess in England for several years, has returned to Australia. Sinco entering J. Bryces stablo Muricata has been doing well, and will bo seen out at tho Canterbury Park Meeting on January Ist and 3rd. Admiral Wood, who has been enjoying a short spell, has built up considerably. The next appearance of the son of Wild wood Junr. will be in the Forbury Cup at the For bury Park Club's Meeting, in January next. J. Hryco will leave for Auckland ott Tuesday next with his team for tho Auckland Trotting Club's Summer | Meeting, and alter competing on tlio I first two days of the fixture v.-ill return to Christchurch for the Canterbury Park Meeting. I>an Dillon, the winner of the Pita Handicap at New Brighton yesterday, is- a half-brother to that fine trotter Muricata. Their dam, Ocean Wave, is owned by Mr D. Kennedy, who bred and trained yesterday's winner, and alto bred Muricata and Antonio. Acceptances for the Auckland Racing Clubs Summer Meeting close thi.s evening, and at the same time final payments are duo for the ShortlanJ Plate. Auckland Cup, Railway Handicap, Great Northern Foal Stakes, Great Northern Derby, Twenty-first Roval Stakes. Havana, who won the Ladies' Bracelet Handicap at New Brighton yesterday, waj? successful in a similar' event at the Club's Autumn Meeting in April last. .She paid a £°°d double figure dividend yesterday, though not quae as large as wheu she won her first race last autumn. George Hard, in the Burwood Handicap, and Wallace Junior, ii, the Electric Handicap at New Brighton yesterday, started before their "time, and C. Tasker, the rider of the former, and B. Jardon, the rider of Wnllace Junior, were each fined £10 by the starter. Wallace, Wood, the winner of the Mace Memorial Handicap at New

Brighton yesterday, made very'handsome amends for recent disappointments by paying a very big dividend, quite the largest of the day. Evelyn, who finished second to him, Avon the same race twelve month ago. At the Owners' and Breeders' Association meeting on Wednesday evening a pleasing ceremony took place, when Mr Tt. W. Franks was presented with a handsome gold medal in recognition of his eer- ' vices at the recent Patriotic Sports j Meeting, held by the Association. A I special vote of thanks was also passed ; to Mr B. J. Munro for his valuable efforts. Canute, who won at Gosford, N.C-.W., early this month, did a lot of racing in Mr C. P. Greenwood's colours in the Doj minion, and in IUI3, finished socoud I to Bon Ton. in the Xcw Zealand St. Leger, the only other starter being Hofckayne. Bon Ton beat Canute three lengths in 3min osec for the mile, and three-quarters, but the latter's subsequent form showed him to bo belter suited by a mile than anything beyond that distance. Times at Ricearton were again of the watch-breaking order yesterday. Xightwatch, with Snapdragon's assistance over the last .six. furlongs, covered a mile fairly well, and Ardenvhor and Specialform did a working gallop over the. same | distance, finishing together. Daytime's task was over five furlor.gs, and he rattled it off pleasingly, as did tho Kilbroney colt Kilkee, who cast the distance behind in lmin 2 3-oth sec. Molford beat iSvoaborg in a run over six furlongs, which took lmin IS 2- r uii sec. Sartorze got through a .sevenfurlong task brilliai.tiy in lmin 20 3-oth sec. Bee a little later' taking lmin 30sec.
