The Furbury Park Trotting Club concluded its Winter Meeting to-day, and again tho weather wa3 idoaL Better racing has seldom boon witnuused v in the South, tho majority of tho oven IB being keenly fought out from etart to finish. Tho track was fast, and as on the Opening day some very' good times were' registered. The attendance was large, and speculation brisk. Air if. L. James, tho cliib'e secretary, had everything running in flrst-olaes order, and much of the success of tho meeting was due to his untiring efforts. Glenaray was installed a warm favourite for '-lie second Amateur Handicap, Norma Dillon, Winkic Dillon, Heatheriiold Lad, and Peter Bock also coming in. for solid oupport. The favourite was always well placed over the first mile, but failed to stay on and finished a moderate third.. Guardeas took charge going down the back, and pacing, evenly, found little difficulty in getting the verdict. Guardess is a promising six-yoar-o.d mare by Advance from Vermont, a successful performer in her day. Sho has only. been m work about eight weeks,' and received nor early education from tho hands of the Oanmril mentor, R. Logan, who has been, freedy racing his team without much success. Vilo, from 108 yds behind scratch, paced a, fin© 1 race into second place, apd, as pro-, vioualy stated, is a, youngster of much promise. Norma Dillon carried a. lot of money. She has a. fine turn of but failed to race prominently, as her gear'did not to be hung up to the beat advantage. Child Heiress made the best ehowing of the others, finishing fourth, but a long way back. All started in the Pacific Handicap, and after a great struggle between Madeline and Petrova, the former won under pressure by a email margin. Madeline is a five-year-old mare by Bribery, from an Almont mare, and is sheltered in tho «we stable as Locanda, Dillon. Much, of her success was duo to tho manner in which she was handled by W. JU. Price, who can still hold- his own with tho best, either behind a vaoer or " tra^ t ' o £ v trotter. Petrova, a. threo-year-old filly, by tho imported aire, Petereta from a General Lincoln marc, made a bold bid for supre macy, and iby gating to the end of a mile and a hal.' in 3mm 36 1-oth sec, cidedlv unlucky in striking such a good maiden as Madeline. Ouimot nhowed aflno turn of speed. He was conceding 72yd» to the first and second horses, which task tho son of Royal Rothschild found .beyond him. Howover, ho may soon be led in a St Mihiel, Betty Blue, and Cross Battery raced well for a mile, but none of tho other competitors showed enough promise to suggest them as likely place-getters season. A rank outside- in Brachycomo led from start to finish in the Improvers Handicap, and beat a warm favourite in Peter I lam. The winner is an aged gelding by Wallace L, owned and trained in Marlborough and he .paid close on a third of a century. Peter Ilam bad everv -chanco of proving his abihtx, but failed to show any pace during the t«». Bon Bell gave the best display of tho others, finishing third. Rita Rose flattered her supporters for ten furlongs, but broke under pressure, and failed to settle down again. ; Delville Wood, a winner on the opening day, ! did not act well with ths weight up, and was t never prominent.

The Winter Oaie Handicap prciuced ono of the finest racea seen on the course, and a-t* different stages there was not one competitor who did not hold a winning chance. Like on the first day, Captain Stanley did r.ot begin woll, and slightlv interfered with Cello Sydney Wilkea. The others went away in good order. Stockade led the field for it mile and a half and then dropped back, 60 at the present time cannot be regarded as a solid two-miler. The winner, Trix Pointer, scored after being placed on severai occasions of late in two mile races. She wi3 in a good position throughout the race, but had to bo driven right out to beat ■the fast-finishing Albert Ciing. The latter gavo another fino display of pacing, and appears to be getting more 6oiid with racing, end next eeseon should hold bis own with the best. Nancy Stair was third, just lasting ion? enough to beat the fajt-flr.ishing Cello Sydney Wilk-.-», who gov all the worst of the running from the tall of the flag-, Vice-Admiral did not display the eame and rausf have felt the effects of the hai'.l race he had on the previous day- Pitaroa brok9 repeatedly, when under pressure, and is not ao solid as before being gelded. Sungod went a good race, and his tffort suggests that he .will be a winner in the near future. He iorme-.l one of the leading division turning into the straight for hon:e. •South Star and lioyal Step were ths eleventh-hour withdrawals from the Dur.edin Handicap. Tho favourite, Dandy Chimes, ;von a unc rue© by a length from Prince Burlington, with Silver Shoe and Matty's Boy next in order. Dandy Chimes is an aged p.iccr by Four Chimes, and is one of tue lies! two mile saddle hoists trainci in Southland at the present time. Silver Shoe stuck to his task-well, and beat Matty's Boy for third money, both being under pressure at tho finish. Barooga was pacing well in the early stages, but a bump sent her right "back, and she never looked iiko finishing in the money.

Nelson Bingen made light of the opposition in the Peninsula Handicap. The Ame-rican-bred trotter was tho .medium of eoLivl 6itport, and returned his supporters the smallest winning dividend of the day. Ho begun well, but before going a furlong broke. "Fortunately Cockeril got the son of Bingen into hi 3 stride before loeing much time, but not before Solace had opened up a big gap between him and the rest of tho fie-'J• Entering the concluding circuit Nelson Bingen was on terms with Solace, and the latter breaking in the back stretch. Nelson Bingen went 011 to win under a pull by six lengths from Solace, with Billy Parole a long way back, in third place, just in front of Winiata and Mi=o Lorna. Nelson Bingen was heartily chcered on returning to the enclosure. His next appearance in public will be at Canterbury Park next mouth, when "he will be found competing in much moro select company. Billy Parole made a couple of bad mistakes, otherwise the Australianbred gelding trottc.l really well. A hot favourite in Fieherton caeil> accounted for tho Park Handicap. Beginning in great style, Butterficld kept the eon of Harold Dillon moving along, and although "Royal Step threw out a determined challenge over the last two furlongs, Fisherton won with something in hand. Lochnagar went another good race, and has evidently come on a good d-eal flinc©entering J-iiryce s&t&blo. The son of Wildwood Jr. lias only to tri.in on to win races. Malice refused to striko a £ait at the >start, and Last Yuc and Sir Gavin both went to a break before going half a mile. Intolerance and Jane Wilkes made no showing, while Tatsy Dillon raced wc! 1 for ten furlongs, when she looktvl like finishing in tlie money, but failed to stay 011 at the_ solid pace set by the leaders. Clow on 10,000 ticxet3 were taken out on the various competitors in tho Farewell Handicap, this being the heaviest betting race of the Meeting. Quadroon was favourite, being backe<L down to almost even money, 'with Jack Arrah, Inwood, and South Star each supported to the extent o* four figures, 'l'lio ruoe proved an easy victory for the six-year-old son of Harold Dillon and Cremona Wilkce, Cello Sydney Wilkes, who disposed of South Star and Inwood after being well placed in the early stages of the race. Cello Sydney Wilkes showed early promise, b\it being unsound, was difficult-to wound up. °In both Jris previous efforts during the Meet in" the Southland-owned pacer showed speed, and the win was confidently anticipa ted T>y his connexions. Stur paced another consistent race, and being a good stayer, should not be long in rewarding his owner with & stake. Inwood acued anothor placed performance to hi 3 long list, and 13 evidently one of the unlucky one® at present racing over short coursce. Jack Arrah began well, but did not seem able to gather up any' large amount of speed. He is now down to a. light mark, and will find it, hai-.l to win in the noar futuc. Matty a- Boy stood on tho mark, and Bed Prince was eased up before going two furlongs.
