The Taiori Handicap was a, great race. Tlis start was good, and the field ran together . for the wholo journey. Four furlongs from home Obligio tooi charge and hard ridden had' a slight advantage of tho field entering the straight. There was a. great struggle to the post. Obligio, Ivukume, Red Cherry, Bon Skirl, and Boughleeu Dhoun were practically in line, and it was one of the bos I finishes seen for some time. There was not spo lengths between th first five. The King Gcorgo Handicap was a. good betting race, and was responsible fqr an unfortunate accident. As tho field entered

tho straight Bonnie Winkie fell for no reason that could be seen, and Wapi>ing turnbled over him. Radial attd Clareina, who wero coming fast, jumped tho fallon horses, and it looked as it it coat Radial the race. For he must have lost six lengths and afterwards wa3 galloping all over the opposition, but too late. Bonnie Winkie appeared to bo beaten, when hft fell end 00 was Hfijjpy Warrior. Clareina. started so slowly that fior chinee was hopeless When they had Bono & furlong. A small mure, the bijy weight probably found her out. Askari and Vice Royal were beaten on their Merits. Captain Bar to was sent out favourite for tho Greenfield Hurdles. Ho did not strip as well as on the first days, and neither did I#o Fort, who wrr,i short behind in his preliminary. Captain Sarto found his weight too much and his jumping was not nearly so pood as it was earlier at the meeting. Matatua owed ■ his win to nice jumping. All tho way well up, he l&jided over this last lento well clear of Lo lort, who did cot go well in the early etagis of the race, in fact, -he lest so' much ground that it spoiled Ilia chance. Bellrock failed to staj-j trod finished l«6t, after giving a great exhibition of jumping. There were only five runners for tho Empire ftatidicip, Mid only ouo of them could handle the mud, end that was. Dancing Days. Aytburn was greatly, hampered by the going, and so was Bella Lake. Though there were only (We runners the starter had a lot of difficulty in Retting them away, as Ostferro&n and. Kerb v.'Oilhi not lock at the tapes. In the end the lot were allowed to go out on the move. Dancing Days won very ocsily from Kerb. Ayrourn, Bellst atid Osterman are worthless in tho mud. The jumping in the Dunedin Steeplechase was f^noU, and Kipling owed his win to clear fend fast fencing. Pnlencia did not look ready and t#n accordiiigly. while Mettle Drift looked to have the measure of the opposition six furlongs from home, whan he tried to run off at the second fence of tile double, and crashed into the wing of the second 10)100. Ihiß happenitlfi made tile way easy for Kipling, who was purchased by the DUnedin sportsman, Mr. J. M. Samson, immediately prior to tho race. Tho lot that faced the barrier in tne Domain Handicap were not go?d. PfuM y B Hop*, who went out on tlie inbvo looked to win after racing all the way with -QueMi Balboa, but the judge gave it a dead-heat, tho two being well cIeRV 0•' the others. Whan Paddy's Hope can carry top weight and win 8, race it iiays very little for the rest cf tha starters. The Yahu'iU Steeplechase wis not a. good race. Casfiele, who was a solid favourite, jumped clumsily on several occasions ar.d completely spoiled hia chftnee, lekomairiro was pulled up a long way from home. Taproot baulked with a mi!o to go ana llonomore, who is badly gone in the wind, fell three fences from the winning post. In fact, Red Sol and Sherlock were the only horses to show themselves caps jig 01 jurapirg the country, r.r.d Hod Sol always had Sherlock's measure. The Farewell. Handicap v?a 3 & ore-horse rflco Avisp&do loci from begining to end. llad' the race boon a mile instead or seven furlon»3 Golden King w?u!d certainly have caught the Winkie gelding. Bloom tvns sore and ran badly," and, Gunc&se, after being well 15laced right through the race, was beaten a hundred yards frem the winning post. The three placed horses wore well clear of the -lest. Captain Sarto was sold during the day to D. iviikelly, of Invercs.rgill, and ho raced. In his new owner's interests. D Cotton, who rode Bonnie \Y inkie 111 the King George Handicap, had a lucky escape, and was fortunate in getting out of the accident as he did. A. McKay, who rode Wapping and' toppled over Bonnie Winkie fractured his skull and l» 111 a. critical condition. When Bcmnio Winkie got 011 to his feet Cotton was hung up, one foot being caught in the stirrup iron, end ho looked to be in a bad plight. Bonnie Winkie did not move, but stood ib « stktiie. until the "tewMd, Mr Curi-ie, assisted Cotton to get his foot out of tho iron; Cotton being unconscious.

ASHBURTON T.C.'S WINTER ■meeting. 'Though a strong nor'-wesi wind prevailed , during the earlier part of the afternoon on Saturday, the weather conditions were almost perfect for the Ashburton • Trotting Club's Winter Meeting. Both trains from Christchuroh weri well filled, and there was a big musterfrom S&'uth. Canterbury. Speculation was hardly so brisk as in tho previous year, and £20,157 wis put through the machine, as against £23,953 10s in 1923. The going wis- excellent, and tho highly interesting racing, provided by big fieldsone of t&o reeil!dr features each/year for this Meeting—was accompanied by swno fast times, all tno winners except in the Winter Handicap . improving oh their hwMicap!!. . aojha substantial dividends- were letiicned duHm? tho day, that paid by Onyx in winning the Ashburton County Handicap being nearly a third of a. contUry. Tho eight runners for the. New Zealand Sapling StaKcs, were turned out *in good condition, and though the result might have been different had Gibraltar not left,, his feet ia the final pinch, Kohara's win was a very popular. oni, this being,.the third suocesaive winner of the Sapling Stakes owned by Mr R. M. Morten and trained and driven by .J. Bryce, Ahurjri having won for him in 1922 ' ftnd Taureksroka in 1923. Incidentally the time put up by Kohara, on Saturday establishes a new reoord for the event. After the race Mr H. F. lucoll, president of the olub, in it brief speech, congratulated the owner of the winner on tho fine performance put up by tho Cathedral Chimes oolt. The Sapling btakoa had firat boon instituted sir yaais ago to encourage ownors and breedsrs, and the club's action hath fully been justified, as tho public could ace for themselves. The club had coma in. for boiuo criticism through starting Buch young horse® over a mile and a but vo-day horsos who had previously Won the Sapling Stakes wero at tho head of their class, ivir wti3 very pieuscd that a sportsman like Mr Morton had won the race three years in succession. Ho thwi presented Mr Morten with the handsome silver cup, and Mrs ihcoll decorated Kohara ' with tue ribbon. , Mr 'Morten, who was received with loud applause, in replying, said that he had been rather lucky to Win tho race that day. It. did not matter very wuoh what Sort of a horso he hid, as his traiuer always tSeeiiied to get the best out of it. Ho was doubly lucky in his Selcctiou of. ft 1 trainer.

Notes on tlie Racing. The day'o ri&lng opened with the Trial Handicap, and the withdrawal of Generator, Kiribinga, Auto. Wyndham, and Kate Thorpe left twonty-fivo "starters. Poter Bingen was a warm favourite, with Moonlit, Lady Leo, Lady Peterson, and Logan Maid the beet backed of the others. This r&oe ' did not arouse much interest, its Moonlit, Poter Bingen, Colonel Mac, and Royal Arcade quickly drew clear from the others, of whom Direct Todd and Bruco were the most prominent. Tho favourite, Peter Bingen, made most of tho early running, and led into the straight, wheio tho field closed up. Bruce became prominent, and assisted by a clear run, he went on to win by half ft length from Royal Arcade,, who was followed by Peter bingen, Moonit, Logic, and King Sandy. Tho winner, Bruco, is a three-year-old gelding by Logan Pointer from Trixia Mao. Ho ran n good race at Timaru in March, when he finished second to Oriole in tno Trial Handicap, but evidently the publio overlooked his lorm, as the dividend ho paid was a substantial one. Royal Artaxic, an inmate of G. iked'a stable, paced a good rape into aeoottd place, well clear of tlie fatourito Peter Bingen. Of the others. Moonlit, Logio, and King Sandy made tho beat showing, 'finishing close up behind tho plated hordes. Freeman, an aged gelding by Wild wood Jun. frotn Bonisttt (imu.), owned and trained by it. W. Franks, easily accounted for the opposition in tho Longbe&ch Handicap, l.is auccess being largely due to hia Steady trotting. The win wan overdue, as it waa Freeman'® first success sinoo he started racing. Red Peter beat iUI but the winnej:. The eon of Petefeta was nicely ridden by H. GaskiH, who is ono of the riders who can kandl? a ti-otter to advantage. The southeiji-owned And trained m»ro Thistlewood thre«ienod danger in the home straight, when she broke. She is a •useful mare, and will be amongst tho early winners next aeason. NolAOn's Gueiat, and Okuti tinishod fcurth and fifth respectively, but some distance back. The race was run .in last time, which no doubt accounted for tuu poor showing of several otiicra of the atart-eis.

All tho acceptors, started in the Aobburton County Jrlandio-sp, and the rtce was one iii the finest seen oil tho course during recent years, tho final issue being in doubt until tho winner piiEssd tho judge's box. The shirt was good, but Fashion Q'uaen, Ehiperoir, PrincefiS* Zoe, and Countryman Were tat'iy in troubio. At dilieiont stages of tilo raco Dftlnahine. Prince Pointer, Golden .L/evon, and Harbour -L/ight threatened divnger. Wjion it came to the 'concluding utiiges first Prince Pointer was loudly proclaimed tho winner, but he compounded, mid then U olden Devon, who was in charge, looked like prevailing. He stopped suddenly, and Childo Pointer th»w out a strong challenge. Twenty-five yards from homo Mr JN-icoll'a mare was in chiuge, when Oriys put in a brilliant run on the outside of the field, atid, passing Childe Pointer in the laßt few strides, went on. to win amidst great excitement. ■ Tho winner's effort was a. particularly fine one, urid there is little doubt islie is one of the beet pacers in the Dominion. The time, 4m 2(5 4-Ss, is & record for tho couiije. Iter success was not anticipated by the public, as she started sixteenth favourite and paid a substantial dOuble-fiffuro dividend, much in excess of what is usually «xpeotcd for such a good performer. Childe Pointer p»ced ono of her best races to date, and is evidently partial to a grass track, as- sho won at Xow Brighton, and at the Aahburton Club's Summer Meeting under these conditions. Logan Lou mftdo a bold bid for victory, but wa« beaten into tfyird place. He was closely followed by Pe-irlie Chimes, who looks like making an early return to form. The favourite, . Prince Pointer, finished sixth. Ho vras beaten, but not disgraced, and should develop into a. good two-miler next season. Neither Aliuriri nor Vi:o finished with thoir usual dash and determination, and '.'.'ere probably feeling tho effects of the hard rncing- they have dono recently in the heavy going. Golden Devon And Dalnahihe raced prominently, but the company was a littlo too selfeot. Both horses are young and may do better in the future. Boany Logan and Brutus were always ill a handy positipn, but failed to Stiiy on, while tho three Auoklandere, Hypo, All Bell, find Man o' War, found their taak much too hard, and finished in the ruck.

There wtw no scratching in the iNow Wland Sapling Stakes, tho eight acceptors going to tho post. When tho.field pafftded In the enclosure, the various candidates gavo signs of cms ftnd attention, and .reflected much credit upon, their respective trainers. Kohara was favourite, with Nelson TaSker, Gibraltar, Oleda, Joy Bells, Jingal, General Biiigen, amfe Wento backed in that order. Tho field moved away without deliy. Joy Bolls was slow inj striking her geit, and Wento dropped ba<k into the rear. Nelson Taaker was the first to be- j como prominent, and led Jingal, Gibraltar,! Oleda, Koharfc, and General Bingen. In the back straight tho field closed up, and Kohara, improved liis poeition. At the two mile po3t the last-named joined Nelson i'askcr, with Gibraltar in close attendance, and at this stago it was quite evident that this trio would Sight out tho finish. About a furlotig from home iielson Talker was doing his best and was held saie by Kohara, who appeared to liavo the result in safe keeping, but Gibraltar came with A kte run and looked like overhauling Kohara when ho broke and Buffered defeat by five lengths, with Kelson Tasker C/.CBO up third, and General Bingen fourth. Tho winner, Kohara, is a well furnished colt by Cathedral Chimes 4.25, by Four Chimes from Bright Alic.q, dam of Tobermory and Pakoti. He ia owned by tho local ejportsman Mr R. M. Morten ku*l iit was his third successive win Ahufiri won in 1922 and Taurekareka. last yoar. At the end of half U mile the winner waa some dist'tnco 1 behind tho leader*, and by winning must havo covered the last mile very fast » 3 the time Sm 02 1-53 is a record for tho race. Gibraltar w*s unlucky as had ho not made a mistake at a critical moment, tie result would probably have been different. Nctejn Tasker acted up to his private reputation, and despite ono mistake, wont a lino race. His time, 3m 03 l-ss, ia one-fifth of a second faster than that of Taurekareka, and the two that beat him are undoubtedly exceptionally fine two-year-olds. Oleda, a filly by Greit Audubon, stripped well.' Bho is endowed with plenty of speed and ehould develop into a high-olass three-year-old. Mr H. XV. Kitchingliam'o Jingal, by Jinglo from Koromiko, surprised many by the excellent showing. .Ho is a nice colt and 'should win his share of stake money when Wore seasoned. Joy Bella raced green and when extended broke, whilo General Bingen and Wento did not look as iotward as some of ■their rivals and found the company too select. The race attracted considerable interest and tho club is to be congratulated upon its enlcrpriao in catering for the juvenile^.

Peicy Dillon was seen to advantugo in tho Acton Handicap. The son of Haroid Dillon led from start to finish and won with something in hand. He paced a solid race and cinco going into It. Humphreys's stable has ..s.hown improved form. Kate Thorpe was always well placed and easily withstood a, strong challenge from Albert Logan who did not get a good passage in tho early Btages of the race. D'reamalion finished fourth, over the Jast four furlongs. •He was compelled to cover a lot of extra ground, otherwise he would have more fully extended those that finished in front of him. Lord Clan, lianuknot, Kiribingi, and Osier Bekuty were prominent for a mile, but the majority of, the others raced a long way b-j----low expectations.

Queen Ida effected a surprise by annexing' the Stewards' Handicap from nineteen others. She began smartly, arid led from start to unish, returning her supporters a. useful doublo liguro dividend. In the past Queen Ida has failed to slay, &ut her effort on this ocfcasion»Sttggoste3 that she is on the improve as she found no difficulty in seeing out the two miles in 4m 66s br 4s better than her handicap. There was a good finish for second place. Fifty yards from home Pieter Timmerman looked like prevailing when Woodlass challenged and beat the New Brighton trained gelding by a narrow margin. Tho favour, Money Spider, wii3 running second at tho tain for home, when he tired and was beaten out of a place. -Araby and Freeman were prominent for three parts of the journey, but Tim Wood and Nelson Bell who were well backed made a ppo'r showing. The Winter Handicap was an interesting raco and resulted in <i. win for the Ashbuiton owned and trained mare, Lady Swithin, who put in a well sustained run otcr tho last two furlongs and won with little in hand from Golden Devon, Ben Ohau, and. Princo Derby. Tho winner, Ludy Swithin, is owned by" the club's president, Jlr H. IT. Niooll, and the win was very, popular. <Joldon Devon found tho distance of ten 'furlongs more to bis lining than the Aiihburton County Handicap of two milts, and finished second. He led over tho greater part of the last furfcng but failed to withstand a strong challenge from the winner after an interrupted passage. Ben. Ohau finished last in third pbce. The effort of Prince Derby was disappointing, as be lpoj;«d a winner a furlong from home but tired and was beaten out of a plafie. T.ha favourite liad evfcry chance, but was not caual ta

the occasion. She was' amongst the leaders at the home, turn, but was left without a final'run. Speculation was brisk in the iarewell Handicap.

The': c&ai" j iaigo drop in the betting with Lady Embrace third favourite. Oak-nut immediately took up the running, and making every post a winning one, the eon of Betel Nut was never disposed ci and scored a fairly e-isy win. Oaknut is ownod in Southlinu, and since going into M. B- Edwards'B stable has raced with muoh credit to his ytiitng trainer, haying 1 prayed Successful , over short and. Ion? courses.
