With such' lieuutiful weather as v/as experienced, there, was naturally a very large attendance, .the two big special train 3 that ran from Christchurch being crowded with passengers, whilo the- surrounding districts were well represented. With the- exception of the Sapling Stakes big' fields contested every event, and the majority of the finishes were- very close, the- judge's task being- by no means an easy one. Tho racing was full of interest, and although two first favourites were successful, and Childe Pointer, winner of the Ashbnrtnn County Handicap, was '-very solidly backed, most of the other races found the public rather astray in their calculations, and Landlord und Henry Trac-2y,both returned very BubstantiaP dividends. Mr H. F. Nicoll's filly, Childo Pointer, who is without doubt tho best three-year-old of the season, registered a fmc performance' in winning the big two-mile- event in such convincing style, and her victory wos heartily applauded. The two-year-old race, the New Zealand Sapling Stakes, -produced-a-ivery fine finish, Latona, a filly by Logan Pointer from Gianelln, crediting the president of the club with his second win in this event. Latona finished with the utmost gameness after dropping back half a mite from home. After the race Mr D. McDonnell, vice-president, nrcsented Mr Nicoll with tho cup attached to? tho event. In doiiur ao he congratulated Mr Nicoll on his second success in such an. important race, and remarked that the pleasure of the victory would be enhanced by th« fact that ho had "bred tho winner. Miss Nicoll then decorated Latona with the bluo ribbon. Mr Nicoll, in his reply, said that hW was naturally gratified at whining the Sapling Slakes.' The Arhburton' Trotting Club hid put on the I event chiefly in prder to indijce- owners and trainers to takb more pain} . in the. conditioning and preparation of their youngsters, and he thqught that object had been very lagely achieved, for a better conditioned lot of twojyear-plds thai) those turned out that day one could not wish to see. Cheers for tho owner and the trainer and driver (D. Warren) concluded tee brief ceremony. Tho totalisator investments -were £27,463 10a, as compared with ;<24,912 last year, and tho total would have jbeen' very considerably increased had tho j totalizator accommodation beerj adequate to | the. business offering.

was favourite, with Lady Evington, Cardinal and Blue, and Kevin Barry also coming in for solid support. Landlord, a throe-yeai-old gelciing by Brent Locanda from Rural, began m great style, and soon. hejd a commanding lead. At the end of a milo the Methvenowned and trained pacer looked to have the raco in safe 'keeping, when ICodol improved his position, and at the home turn was a length behind. From then on both horse® wero being hard driven, and in a. punishing finish Landlord bent the favourite by a good i length, Green Ribbon and Meddler being next to finish, but a long way back. After many failures Boi Alto, a. member of J. Bryce's stable, scored an easy wiii in tlia liongbeach Handicap. The ox-Australian-owned trotter mtuntained an even gait from start to finish, and improved, on his handicap over .seven seconds. Tho Forbury Parktrained mars, Swiftest, made a forward move going down the back, and reduced the frap held by lioi Alto, and took a liand in the settlement or affairs, but eho had to be vigorously ridden to stall off a determined challenge from Moving Picture, who finished fast, and disposed of ,Sherry and Lady Torv, both breaking wheii under pressure. Aruwood and General Quincey showed spesd ill patches, while the rest of the field gave a very poor display. Wandering Willie, Lady Swithin, Scott, Coleiiut, Vilo, Vice-Admiral, and Willii Lincoln declined their engagements in tho Ashburton County Handicap. -..The Oamaru-ovmed and trained Embraoor was a slightly better favourite than; Childo Pointer, theso two carrying half the lnonoy on the totalisator. Then came a big drop with, Pegasys and Agathos third and fourth favourites respectively. From, start to finish the race was full of interest, l>ut when it' came to tho serious part of tho business, Childe Pointer and Prince Huon. had the final issue to themselves, the first-named winning with, something in hand. Sh© proved herself to be one of tlio finest three-year-old fillies bred in the Dominion, as in her own class the daughter of Logan Pointer and Peadchild has won both classic and handicap races, and on this oocasion proved equal to defeating a strong Held of seasoned horses. During the present season Child© Pointer has started ten times,. won five times, been placed second aJid third once, and unplaced on three occasions. Her winning's total £1557. Prince Huon stripped well. The son of Harold Dillon was always well placed, and went his best race to da-ts K but had no chance of beating Childe Pointer. Borke-'s Drift, who seems partial to tha Ashburton course, stayed much better than he has done of late, and finished strongly in third plf.-oc*. Tlio solid pace set the front division gaye tho back-markers something to do. Agatho3, on 96yds, and Whispering Willie, on 108 yds, both added interest to the raco, and in 1 spite of their had their names proclaimed as winners during tho running of the race, but tho task set them proved too great. Pegasus was not m a. generous mood, and refused to leave the mark. Embracer and Letitia. went well for a-milo and a halt, but like/the majority .of ■the other competitors, failed to see the journay out at the solid pace. Tho third New Zealand Sapling Stakes attracted a field of eight well bred two-year-olds, and for condition it is doubtful if a better lot of youngsters has yet -faced a starter. Botrayer, Macushla, and Latona. looked particularly well. Prior to tho start Macushla reared up and fell, and with the permission of the stewards was withdrawn, from the race, and the totalisator money returned, Ices 125 per cent. Swithin's Qhild and Ratana. mixed their gait at the start, and Betrayer lost ground, but quickly regained it. When the field had settled down it' was easily Ken that the race was confined to Betrayer, Latona,' and Grace Thorpe, and in an exciting finish Latona defeated Betrayer by a narrow margin, with Gracie Thorpe close up third, and Lottie Audubon beaten' off fourth. Tlie winner, Latona, is a ] well-Town filly, by the imported sire Logan | Pointer from Gianella, 4.38, by Quincey by Yandevc, dam Queen V., by Kentucky. Latona is owned, and w*ns bred, by tho Ashburton sportsman, Mr H. F. Nicoll, and this marked his second succcsb in this important classic race. The ofiicials of the Ashburton Trotting Club have every reason to feel proud of their enterprise in catering for this clasa of racing. Betrayer, who finished second la Latona, is a gatne colt, by Brent | Locanda, from a maio by Advance, and like j the winner, gave the impression of developing inrfo a useful three-year-old. Grace Thorpe-showed a lot of speed in the middle mile. From the stand it appeared bb if aho was made, rather too much uss of at the homo turn, and in trying to head Betrayer | and Latona off was called upon to cover extra ground, which at tho finish would have proved most valuable. The daughter of Our Thorpe and Grace Darlington is a good filly, and has only to train on the right way to win races. Lottie Audubon did not race- up to expectation, but. staved on better than Rataro and Swithn's Child, and -crodiW her owner with tho fourth prize of 25 govs. A rank outsider In Honry Tracer nut in 0-. most determined finish in the Acton Handicap, and finally dispctsd of Coil and a warm favourite in Beappear. and returned his admirers a handsoni? dividend. The ' winner is an aged gelding by King Tracey

from Flitaway. Ho was purchased by his present owner, Mr G. Steele, laat January, lor less than £SO, and has sinae won two races. The ex-West Coast-owned pacer ia trained by J. Lorgelly, who has been quito successful during the past few months with his small but useful team. Coil, » recent addition to D. Withers'a team, paced a sound race into second place, and now that he has become £olid should do better in future. The favourite, Reappear, lost two to threo lengths at the stait, and was foroed to cover a lot of extra ground, but even so was beaten on his merits.' Wastewood went well for a mile. Of the others Gladiola and Thea mad© the best showing. Kola Bell, Bon Wilkes, and Swiftest wore backed in that order in. the Stewards' Handicap, but Kola. Bell was the only one of the trio to race prominently, and although the Southland-owned mare improved on hir handicap close on twelve seconds she moro than met her equal in Our Lady, a five-year-old mare by Petereta from Lady John, owned and trained by the Sockburn mentor, 11. W. Franks. Hoi Alto trotted another excellent race, and although penalised 72yds beat all but Our Lady and Kola. Bell. First Carbine wag installed favourite for tho Winter • Handicap, and beginning ia great style practically led from start to finish. Belmont Chimes beat all except tho winner, but over the last fifty yards mixed, his gait, and passed the winning' post at a gallop. He was subjected to a. protest, but the judge's placing waa not . disturbed. Trooper Dillon Bhowed a fine burst of speed in the final etages, while Guynemor and Willie Lincoln finished close up behind tho placed division.. Scratch iegs were numerous is the farewell Handicap. The Book, Golden Age, Bridgewood, Cammie, Nell Pointer, Tahawai, Goldon Pippin, Jane Wilkes,' Matty's Boy, Gladey®, and. Glen Mavis all declining their engagement. As soon as the totaiisatbr opened there was a. rush to back Augusta Dillon, and tie Sockburn-owned and trained paoer carried more than twice as much money as Watchman, who' was 6econd At the fall of tho flag J. McLennan quiclly got Augusta Dillon going, and ho won with ridiculous ease from Lady Wayward and the fast finishing: Henry Traooy. The winner is a speedy five-year-old gelding by Huia Dillon from Grattanette, his dam being a successful producer by Electioneer. Cock Robin and Childwood wer* doing {food work in the concluding stages of tho rooo, and both horses should give their owners «a early' return nest season. Watchman ran well for six furlongs, but Nqmcourt and Bigamist were neror prominent. t ' The club distributed £2325 in stakes M follows:—H. F. Nlcoll £760, J. Smith £l6O, G. Steele £IBO, J. R.
