AUTUMN MEETING.

CHALLENGE STAKES AND GREAT AUTUMN HANDICAP.

The weather was fine for the concluding day of the Canterbury Jockey Club's Autumn Meeting, but the attendance was not so largo as on the iirst day. The racing was again good, and so was the management, the last race being run to time. A feature of the afternoon's sport was the splendid work done by 3lr P. D. AlcNab at tho barrier. It was the best seen at • Kiccarton since the days of Mr H. Powell. The fields throughout the" day were not large, but there was plenty of money on the ground, as the machine handled £40,256, as against £46,977 10s on the second clay last year, making a total of £87,233 10s for the meeting, as against £ll-1,456 last year. Had the fields been larger the drop in tho turnover would not have buen nearly so large. Ocneral Petain was sent out a good favourite for tho Pcerswick Hurdle Handicap. He began slowly, owing to soreness, but gradually made up his ground, thanks to his fine jumping, and eventually won easily. IJellrock did not jump nearly so well as onSjie first day. and nearly fell at several fences, probably because bis rider lost an iron at tho start. The winner was lame on return--ing to the paddock. The start for the • Autumn Nursery Handicap wns a splendid one. Pencils, though burdened with Ost 91!>, was always with the leaders, and at the end of three furlongs it looked as if ho and Contempt would run first and second. Contempt, however, failed over the last two furlongs, and "Warliavcn, a Southland-owned gelding by Kilbroney, from Rosyth, finishing gamely, secured second money by a few inches from Triermain, who came very fast over the last bit. There was some humping after the start of the Yaldhtirst Welter, for though the start was good, Deucalion and Little River suddenly dropped back last. Angelo had the-, best of the running all tho way, and Some Kid also had a good passage. If *i>eucalioh and Little River had not been interfered with they would probably have beaten the two that finished in 'front of them. The start for the Addington Handicap "was perfect, and it was some distance before the lino was broken. Matata reversed her first day's form and won easily. Roniform, who raced well on the opening day, did not show up and finished fourth. The only late scratching for the Great Autumn Handicap was Egotism. The rest looked well in the parade, and, with the exception of Kilgour, who went short, all went down freely in the preliminary. The start was perfect, but* Sycorax caught' the tapes. When the field settled down, Songbird set the pace, and he made it eolid, as the following times show:—Two furlongs, 25 2-ss; four, 51s; six, lm 16 3-ss; mile, lm 41 l-ss. AH this time Palestrina was bringing up the rear, being 2 l'-5s behind Songbird with six furlongs to go. She was still last when the straight was entered, and then, getting stopped on tho inside, had to come round. She ran ft great race under difficulties...and finished in fourth place. 'Bonnie Winkie had a good run all tho way, and won all but. Sycorax, who did not get a. smooth pas- ■ sago, ran a sterling race. Foo Chow was always well placed, hut 'Songbird and Sunny Loch failed to stay the, course out. The time, 2m 31s, i* a record for the race, and equals the record put up by Maioha in the Wellington Cup. ' '!' Only two " horses faced the starter in 'tho Thirtieth Challenge Stakes, Gloaming having frightened the rest out. _ The champion was held back to Winning Hit until well up the straight, where he went on to win easily in record time for the race. Tho' last half-mile was run in 47 S-ss. „ Chimera repeated her performance of last year by winning the Templeton Handicap, for which she was favourite, in lm 9 4-ss,which equals The Hawk's Australasian record, put up at Tren- , tham in January last. The meeting was/ brought to a close with the Final Handicap. Silver Peak, who was an odds-on favourite, went very short in her preliminary, and when the harrier was lifted she soon dropped back last. Turning into the straight she was still some distance behind the field, but was galloping strongly. in line for home. Gamecock on the rails. Bed Hind in the centre, and! Silver Peak could be picked out as likelj to contest the finish At the distance Bed Hind had; Gamecock's measure, but she succumbed to Silver Peak's challenge opposite the big stand, but came again when F. E. Jones, on Silver Peak, stopped rid-, ing his mount vigorously, and he had to get to work in earnest once again. : The finish was a close one, and when the judge hoisted Bed Hind's number as the winner, there was a demonstration of dissent from the inside enclosure. Details of the racing are as follows: PEEBSWICK ETJBDIJ3 HANDICAP, of ': 850 eovs; second 70, third 85. ljrh. I. J. J. Lewis's br g General Petain by All Bed—Lady Idllian aged 11 9 A. McMullaa 1 6.
