CANTERBURY JOCKEY CLUB.

I GRAND NATIONAL ! MEETING. STEEPLECHASE & WINTER CUP. "Spring ixi its best," was the unanimous verdict upon the weather at. Riccarton yesterday, rrhen the Canterbury Jockey Club opened its Grand National Meeting with an excellent programme, a large attendance, representative of all parts of the Dominion, and a most enjoyable afternoon's racing. According to the calendar it was not spring at all, winter, by tho fiat of this authority, not ending till a fortnight hence; but the scarcely moving nor'-west breeze that came down from the arch which spanned the distant snow-clad mountains, tempered by the sun's reflection from the protesting clouds, was warm and genial. The crowd, which began to gather long before the time at which the first race was set down for decision, made the most of the favourable conditions. The lawns had dried quickly after the rain of last week, and with the vantage ground in front of the new etand were thronged by visitors of both sexes, whofind a social side to racing .rineh is not the least delightful of its features. Their Excellencies the GovernorGeneral and Lady Jellico© were present as the guests of the club, both taking a keen interest iu the proceedings, and adding in advance to tho regret Canterbury, >vith the rest of the provinces, will feel when their active participation in the sports and pastimes of the people will ceaso to impart additional sest to tho. popular holidays of this, country. The motor-car traffic to the course was exceptionally hea;vy, many visitors being tempted by the weather to desert the tramway' and the railway for the road, and unfortunately tho unexpected demand made upon the club's new arrangements for the admission of this class of traffic led to some vexatious delays, which were aggravated by an accident to one of the cars when entering the parking enclousure. In some instances the difficulties were accentuated by tho gate-keepers being required to give troublesome change, which could not be provided speedily enough to aI.W a continuous stream of cars to pass through the entrance. Arrangements have been made, however, which will prevent a recurrence of this inconvenience, if the drivers haTe their payments in readiness at the gates. The principal event on the card was the Grand National Steeplechase, the forty-ninth of the series of contests for the jumping "blue ribbon" of the New Zealand Turf, and though the field of thirteen was strung out at the finish, it was a pretty race to watch for two-thirds of the distance. Carawock, on the strength of his good allowing in both Australia and New Zealand over more. simple country, and at tho recent Hunt Club's Meeting over thia very course, was made a better favourite than Oakleigh, the winner of tjhe race last year and the year before, who conceding him 471b. The resuscitated Lochella, the winner of 1919 was next in demand, and after this veteran came Maeter Peter, who finished second to Oakleigh last y«ar, beaten only a length; Fireblight, one of the few mares that haive taken part in the race; First Line, a familiar figure in this and other big steeplechases up and down the country.for several seasons; Sanforte, closely related to Mutiny, a dual winner of the "ribbon''; and Red Cent, a bold fencer that so far has failed to get the .distance. The field was a fair, average one as regards quality; but with &3kleigh's and Carawock's previous form, discounted, by their failures on this occasion, and with Lochella permanently infirm, it contained no outstanding figure. At the finish the: contost was reduced to a match between two of the candidates little fancied by the public, Sturdee and Tigeriand, and the former stayiug the better of the two won by five or six lengths, with Master. Peter in tho other place well back, and First Line..,finishing fourth. Sturdee started four times last year, winning the June Steeplechase at the Hawke's Bay Winter Meeting, finishing third in the Hunt Cup Steeplechase at the Hawke's Bay Hunt Club Meeting, end being unplacct} in the Hunt Club Steeplechase at Napier Park and in the Weilmgton ' Steeplechase .at Trentham. Both ho and Tigeriand paid double figure dtvidqnds.' The amount passed through £he totalisator yesterday was £68,128, .as •■compared; wi.tlr' £65,921 invested on, ■ machine on the corresponding day ; ..t year. The following are details of itho racing:—

The public put themselves in a good mood at once by selecting the North Island hunter Bullford to win the Hunters' Hurdles, for although the top weight, Adjutor, mado a gallant attempt under his great load to beat the Strowan gelding, he never looked quite capable of doing it, although Bullford had to be kept up to his work over the last quarter of a mile. The running of Grim Joko and Cairnmuir did not suggest them being capable of winning a race at the meeting. Nautiboy was hopelessly out of it when ho fell at the last fence'.

Trial Hurdles. Tho scratching pen reduced the field in the Trial Hurdle Handicap to seven. They were a sorry lot. After Agnola and Clicquot fell at the third fence, Port' Eegal had such a lead that it looked impossible that he should be caught, but he stopped to a walk in the last half-mile, and Santiago beat him home easily, •while Goldpieee just failed to catch him. Koyal Star gave a wretched display of jumping, and Teuterfleld fell heavily at the last fence. Cashmere Plats. The big field got away well, but the inside hcrsea at the barrier always had an advantage over those who had been less fortunate in the draw of places. Ilka, who started from tho inside, wasthe first to show out, and was never headed. Sun Up, who was an almost even-money favourite, drew No. 15 at the barrier, and his rider, 11. Gray, had tho bad luck to lose a stirrup leather and iron in the jump out, which did not improve his chance. He raced wide out for almost two furlongs, then Gray pulled on to the rails, was disappointed, and when he did get out just failed to catch Ilka. With better luck Sun Up would have won. Eawcne, who paid a thumping dividend at the Hunt Meeting, ten days ago, looked very tucked up, but she is evidently better than she looks, for she was always well up, and was running on.

National Hurdles Candidates, The Jumpers' Flat Eace creatod a lot of interest owing to the fact that a number of horses with prospects of winning the Grand National Hurdles wore running in it. Boomerday stripped splendidly, but Vagabond, though looking right, did not go too well in his preliminary. Tinokaha looked a. picture, and as he won this race iu a canter twelve months ago, and had H. Gray in the saddle, ho was well supported. . ZSTukumui looked lighter than at Wellington, but ho was_ not sore, and Loch son, though sweating freely, moved nicely. Omahu never lookod better or more unconcorned, but Gamecock was too big. Merry Singer was better to the eye than at Trentham. Demand did not impress, and JVlaunga looked somewhat drawn. Captain Sarto looked well, and Penury Rose looked rough but muscular. The race was run at a solid pace, and save that the lot closed up turning to the straight, the order was practically the same. Petunia was first into the straight, then he collapsed, and Boomerday took charge, only to fall back beaten almost immediately, and his showing was not good. Then jSTukumai shot out, and he ran home a winner. Unfortunately ho was tender iu front on returning to scales. Omahu failed to run on, and so did Demand, Vagabond, Maunga, and Captain Sarto, but Lochson, Merry Singer, and Penury Eose finished on well. Tinokaha dKj not. Of the lot, Merry Singer ami Lochson pleased most, next to them the winner Nukumai.

' The Grand National. Pamplona was the only late scratch- | ing for the New Zealand Grand >ai tional Steeplechase Handicap, beuis i pulled out at 10.45 a.m. tho morning ! of the race. They were a well-condi-tioned lot, and it was some time before a favourite was made. Carawock was eventuallv made a better favourite than Oakleigh, and it was a rare occurrence for a maiden "chaser to be sent out favourite for a National. Oarawock did not flatter his backers, as after making several clumsy jumps h* toppled over at the brush iu front or the stand, just as he was making a forward move. Oakleigh was going well when he fell at the first of the kcraicis double nearly seven furlongs from home. It was not the old fellow's fault that ho toppled over, as Jttrs.. Line swerved ac-TOss his course just as he was about to rise. Galway was Uot.claes enough, but he complete* ! the course. Lochella was not beaten ! when he fell at the kennels double last | time round. Master Patera condition failed him over the last hair-mile, or he might have caught Sturdeewho 1 was very weary, but still game Tigeri land was the surprise or the race, as iliis preparation had been of the, light- | est, yet after being well up all the wa> he was running on at the end. thia gelding was sound he would be a high Slan 'chaser. Saniorte » rider got into difficulties early, through losmg: an iron 'Dick as usual, refused, while BcJ : Ce*nt Fireblight, and Polthogue were | not class enough. J Charlatan Again. For some unknown reason Paul Pry Js Lade favourite for the Enfield Steeplechase, in which was Charlatan, jivho has put up such a good recorj

during the past few weeks, and the useful Kovno. The favourite ran a good race, but never had a chance of beating Charlatan, who should prove n good class 'chaser when he has had a season or two's racing. ' Solifona'a Waster Cup. j The field for the big mile race was i good one. They were a well-eondt- : tioned and nice-looking lot. Broad- ' wood was sent out a slightlv better fav- ! ouritc than Bed "Wink, but the betting took a very wide range. There was some delay at the start, but eventually the field got away well together. Then Los Ambus shot to the front, and j tried to win all the way, but he was I not seasoned enough for such a task, 1 and he was beaten shortly after entering the straight. Broadwood ran a gallant race, but Soliform carried too many guns for him, and gradually wore him dowu. Trapping was one who ran . a sterling race, as he was one of the tailed-off trio at the end of three i'ur- : longs, but ho finished well, and was close behind the placed horres at the iinish.

The Hacks. The Avonliead Handicap was the best of good things for Sartist, who ran a much better race than he did at the Christchurch Hunt Meeting, and romped home. The judge placed The Polymnian second (who really finished sixth). and Prompter third, and the crowd making a demonstration, the numbers were altered, Barn Owl being place I second and Prompter third. This decision did not altogether give satisfaction, as Prompter had many friends, vho were sure he was second, and Barn Owl also had friends, who declared she waa seeond. There was very little between them. SECOND DAY'S HANDICAPS.
