CANTERBURY PARK T.C.'S WINTER MEETING.

Acceptances for the second" day of the Canterbury Park Trotting Club's "Winter Meeting close at noon to-mor-row. Nominations for the Napier Park Racing Club's Winter Meeting close to-morrow. R. Ellis was fined £o yesterday by the Dunedin Jockey Club for failing to notify that he hijd an interest in "Will Oakland. The horse should have been coupled with Finora in the card for tho Tradesmen's Handicap. Rag Tag, a short-pedigreed gelding by King Bonifora, in E. J. Ellis's stable, showed some jumping ability in the Trial Hurdles at Wingatui yesterday. He was up with his field to tho second last fence, where Calibration and Paddy's Hope fell, and apparently tho horses falling in front of him upset him, and he too made a mistake and lost his rider.

The jumping throughout yesterday's races at Wingatui was poor. Only three stood up in the Trial Hurdles, three in the Otago Steeplechase-, and in the St. Clair Steeplechase only three completed the course. It must be said for the cross-country horses that tho fences were big, and such that none but a first-class jumper is likely to get over.

Will Oakland was lame after working yesterday at Wingatui, and may not start at tho meeting. The Cannie Chiel gelding, Rhoboro, was going very well in the St. Clair Steeplechase yesterday, when he broke down, and it looked as though ho only had to stand up to win. His breakdown appeared serious, and there is a doubt as to whether he will race again.

Superior jumping stood to Golden Prince in the Otago Steeplechase yesterday, which he won for the second time, his t)ther victory having been gained in 1921. His two races at fimaru last month improved him wonderfully, and it will take a lot more weight to stop him in the shorter crosscountry events on the remaining days of the Dunedin Jockey Club's Meeting.

The Otago Hurdle Eace to-day seems to lie between the three who finished in the money in the Jumpers' Flat Eace, ypstcrday, Bonoroel, Penury Rose, and Captain Sarto, au-d Adjutor, winner-of the Trial Hurdles. Penury Rose is credited with having'run. a great mile' at Inverc&rgill before leaving; for Wingatui, and in the Jumpers' Flat would Tiav© troubled Bonomel even moro had he made his run earlier.

The Cheat may. have been unlucky in being one of those left in the "Winter Welter Handicap at Wingatui, for he ran a very creditable third. In less pretentious company he can be marked off as an early winner.

A mile seems to bo just beyond Warhaven's measure, and Happy Days outstayed him in the Winter Welter Hstndjcap after being left. Standing on the mark has cost Happy Days several good races, and could he be induped to go away right he would be one of the best welter horses in the South Island. Oh his form yesterday, a Winter Oup would not be beyond him. He has had some great duels with Warhaven. At Riverton, at Easter, the pair deadheated for first, and at the Timaru Meeting on tKe> same terms, Warhaven beat his rival by a Bead, and the 91b advantage for Happy Days, under which they were meeting yesterday, meant a half-head victory for Happy Days.

' F. W. Ellis brought- off a very good double at "Wingatui yesterday, lie being the trainer of both Listening Post aria Geranikl. EUTs is at present at the lieacj of tho trainers' list for the Dominion for tho current season.

Bonena showed a turn of speed in the Birthday Handicap at Wingatui vcstprday, arid after making up his ground much too quickly, would probably still have won had his rider taken him the straightpst way home. He will be a hot order if started again at the Meeting. "

Prior to the start of the day's racing at the South Wairarapa, Meeting yesterday, the four-year-old gelding, Jyoliiwr, by Nelson Bingen frcm a liothschild maroj was sold by Mr W. T. Lowo to Mr S. G. Laconer, of Hawera. Tko was a substantial'one.

Pamplona ia now running out in the paddock, and this good juniper is not likely to be seen out pgain this sea* son. '

FIRST ©AY. The Canterbury Park Trotting Club's "Winter Meeting was opened yesterday, when the conditions were anything but favourable for a trotting fixture. In the early part of the day the weather was bitterly cold, and the recent heavy rains had left the track in a condition better imagined than described. The horses in the first two races were required to travel through a sea. cf slush, and in later events sticky mud held the competitors down to times much slower than they were capable of registering had the track been in even fair order. It is eeldom that conditions have been worse so far as the track is concerned in the history of trotting at Addington, but there was a f edeeming feature for some of the spectators who found amusement in studying the mud-bespattered drivers as they returned to the birdcage after their somewhat risky adventures on the track. The Etatc of the track in a large measure discounted the merit of Mr F. C. Thomas's work as handicapper, but from start to finish the sport was interesting, the finishes close, and the winners hard to find. The only unpleasant incident to record is the disqualification of Nighborn for galloping in tho Aviation Handicap, and as the enquiry into his Tunning lasted some time, a lot of the public's money was held up. Then again only one favourite scored during the afternoon, and this affecfed the amount invested on tho totalizator, which was i 31,886 as against £24,600 103 on the Erst day last year. The comparison with last year's figures is hardly the correct one, for then the first day was on a Saturday, and the King's Birthday on a Tuesday, on which occasion £37,024 was put t"Erough the machine. In the hands of Ihe eecretarv. Mr A. I. Rattray, and his able assistant, Mr H. Goggin, the details of the Meeting were carried through in the manner customary with fixtures at Addington, while the honorary staff of officials did, their work promptly and well. Following are details of the racing:— YALDHURST HANDICAP (in harness), of 180 sovs; second 36, third 18. For unhoppled trotters. 3.48 class. 14m. 6. D. M.

"With a lap to go, Mount Royal had a big lead from Earl Derby with Joyful moving up fast, while Judge Hancock had lost ground by breaking. Turning out "of the straight, Herbilwyn put in a fast run on the outside of the field, and in the back stretch was in' 4 fourth place.

Nelson Fame and Rose Pointer lost their chances by refusing to begin properly, and at the end of half R mile, Fancy Boy was showing the way to Downcast, Willie Logan and Chid. They raced practically in this order along the. back, but rouridin" the turn to the straight, Downcast headed. Fancy Boy and led into tie home stretch. There Willie Logan put in his claim, and finishing in great style von bv a length and a half. Downcast was a length iii front of Fancy Boy, with Waitaki Girl fourth and Sir Henry

fifth. Times: 2m 19s, 2m 20 3-Ss, 2m 20 4-ss. Notes on the Racing. The openlEg event, the Yaldhurst Handicap, showed thjit two-fifths of the starters were all st sea in tlie* slushy going, and even in tho preliminaries a number showed a big dislike to the unnatural conditions. The back-markers especially had a bad time, for the mud was being thrown' in all directions. At ill© start very few cf tho competitor settled down to their work promptly, but one that, did was Mount Royal, who had such a commanding lead at the end of sis furlongs that the result appeared in lu3 kef ping. Patiently driven by tho veteran J. Wright. Mount Royal was never approached until the last hundred yards, when Herbilwyn, who had shown great speed in patches, came with a burst but was a. couple of lengths to 'he bad at the finish, the winner biing eased ever the last furlong. Mount Royal's task was mad© easier on account of the unsteady gait of moat- of the others, but at all times ha was doing his work in tradesmanlike Btvle. Lonesome waa never prominent, but Judge Hancock, Young Carbine, and Wildbine showed distinct promise, and when the going is not so bad tkev may raca well.

The pacers in tho Peninsula Handicap rroved that they could hanule tho going better than tho unhoppled trotters had in the opening event, and they provided a rattling good race. Favouritism was accorded Kean John, with Golden Sun, iirentloc, and Talaro all solidly supported. The start was a good one, and the majority hit their hopples smartly. Very soon Iklmcny took tho lead, and he carried on until the last hundred yards. Harold Burwood came with a good run and outstayed him., but he fought out the finish in plucky fashion. Harold Burwoad was always well placed, and his finishing effort stamped him as a good one. Golden Sun, Kean John, and Bingen Lad all went solidly from Btart to finish, while Talaro showed great speed in patches. The field for the King George Handicap was reduoed by the scratching of Pearlie Chimes and Onyx, and the let- that went to the post were in a condition that did credit to their trainers. Realm and Hypo were the elect of backers, and many, under the impression that Whispering "Willie would handle the going better than the remainder, supported him solidly. Loganwocd, as usual soon hit the front, but Waitaki Girl, who commenced very well, took charge, with Kvpo and Delavan Quest handy. Half a mile from home Yilo was in a, handy position, but it was not until the final stretch was reached tliat she actually headed Waitaki Gill. a.nd a good tussle elided, in her favour. She was driven a. nice race by her owner, E. J. Smith, and stayed out the two miles in excellent style. Delavan Quest was always in the firing line, but Lady Joan vraS never oloser to the winner than at the finish, when she was fifth. Realm paced a. fin? race, but Jack Potts and Away were never prominent, and Whispering ' Willie quite failed to make any showing. Though tho favourite. Pointalena, won the Lyttelton Handicap,' the victory was not attained without a great fight over the last two furlongs. Both Pci'ntaleiu and Whetu were well handled by their respective riders, ajid it waa a battle of horsemanship and stamina over the lest furlong. Moat of the running was made by Pearl Coronado, but ever the last lap she found the nacfe tcb solid, and at the finish was not in the first half-dozen. The winner, an nged gelditlg by Logan Pointer, from Franza-

Lena, is a bald pacer and as game as n pebble. Winnie Dillon was prominent for most of the journey, but the third favourite, Lord Clan was never dangerous.

The Aviation Handicap proved an appropriately named race for most of the competitors were "in the air" at different stages of tho journey. Right from the start Ingle Bingen jumped into her stride and was in front at the end of tho first half-mile. Nighbom joined issue and tho pair carried cn the running light to the straight, Nighbom giving a mixed exhibition of galloping and trotting. He lost nothing by breaking, and in the run home won decisively. Ingle Bingen failed badly over the last two furlongs, and eventually finished cut of a place. Sunny Jim, who was ahvjys well placed, put in a goad run in the straight, and though the judge placed Peter McKinnev third, it appeared Irom the Press stand that Pete PeteT occupied that position at tie finish. Both horses trotted very well, and were going the fastest of all at tho finish. Audominion went, well for over a mile and the race should do him good. Koraki was alai> prominent for the greater part of tho journey, hut a bad break half a mile from home settled his chance. enquiry was held into the breaking of Nighborn, and he was disqualified for the race. The early betting on the totalisator suggested Brutu3 as a certainly for the Stewards . Handicap, but a lot of money was put on Bonny Logan liter, and she eventually .finished up a better favourite than Brutus. Nelson Derby made a mistake at the start, but- (he remainder went away well, Talent end Escort leading Brutus, who had begun pniticu'.prly well. Biutus -replaced Erccrt before the stand was reached, and Ta,ent just led Brutus until the entrance to the straight. It was an interesting finish for Bonny Logan, who was well back in the early stages, canv> with a rsttle, and Hendriksen had to draw his whip to get Brutus home a leneth to the good. Talent fought out the finish gahicly, and b:th Ne'son Derby and Downcast may bo exixded to do better Inter on. Brutus was bred by his ovnnr, Mr W. S. WooMon. of Upper Riccarton. and looks like developing into a. topnotcher.

Quiver, who had run a- good vaco over two mile 3in the Lyttelton Handicap, was again produced in the Railway Handicap, of one mile. Nicely liand'ed by H. B. Berry, she was in'a handy pesition all the way, and nt the finish won easily from Teneriffe. Considering the gruelling race Quiver had had earlier in the day, her performance stamped her us a particularly sqlid pacer. Rosie Nut looked « winner at. the top of the straight, but with the pressure on she faded out. Firelight showed great speed in patches, but did not commence very smartly. The favourite, Ciioubra, was - never dangerous. _ A good betting race in the Au Revoir Handicap concluded the day's Bport, and provided a most exciting race. Fancy Bry, with his usual brilliancy, quickly assumed the lead, but Downcast was never far away, und this pair were in ilie lead until the straight was reached. Here' Willje Logan came with a great dash cf speed, aiid though he lied to be driven cut, he won veiy decisively from Downcast ®nd Fancy Boy who fought cut a determined finish. Nelson Fams broke up st the start and it was im-' poss : blo to say iust liow this affected .the result.. Cliid and Waitnki Girl both ran well enoufli to suggest that they are at the top of their fprrn.

Adjutor was made a. good favourite for the Trial Hurdles from Calibration, Grim Joke, and Tentorfield. Tho favourite lost a ! lot of ground between the first threo fences and was perh&ps lucky that ®ll tho other runners oKoeot Grim J oko and Killoff fe!l. Calibration and Rag Tag jumped the first hurdle in front of a bunched field, and Thistlecrowa camo down. Paddy b Hopo took charge at tho second fenoe, and going ont of the straight and along tho back had several lengths' lead of Grim Joke, Calibration Rag Tag, and Tenterfiold, with Adjutor somo distanoo away and Killoff tailed off. Three fences from home Xenterfield fell heavily and at the next fence Paddy a Hope, Calibration, and Rag Tag camo down, leaving Grim Joko in charge. Adjutor camo with a. well sustained run over tho last three furlongs and catching Grim Joko alter passing tho last fence won comfortably by fwo lengths. Rag Tag was remounted and finished a furlong away in thud place Killoff'also completed the course. up of tho riders was hurt. t . Enaro had most admirers for the Brighton Handicap, with Ophir * good sewnd favcurite, whilo Mountain Rose, Bon Skirl and Cornflower wcro tho only others cenously conSdered. From a good start Boughleen Dhoun was the first to become pronunent, hrt n,t the end ct a furlong Bon Skirl joinod him with Enare, Ophir, Cornflower, jomoa . x, . their heels. Ophir ran tin into second place at the Jialf mile 1 t * n i. round tho bend, only to So supplanted at the straight catrance by Corriflower, who came through on tho rails. Enaro was beaten at the turn and in the last furlong Cornflower drew awaj to win well by two lengths. Ophir was a simdar S&2S i ar.d Boughleen Dhoun. t? rtTia was the only withdrawal from the E ,S Handicap,U her. stablemato Lou & S-t U: was bein* Listening Post, passing tho standU i Jub;lallt dropp€d I k ß lo last «ith Uugiiroa going round the back to last.«»« m ilc covered Pros--sg; Suit

back, and Bonena. dropped tack to Jubiluit, who was still at the rear of the field. Half a, mile from home r Prosperity was dono with." At the tend Bonena made ft quick run through a bunched field and led into tho straight from Listening Post and Lcnghrea. From then on excitement was intense and at the post heads only separated the placed horses, with Mountain Lion fourth, about two lengths away, the most Prominent of a birnch which included Kilme. Jubilant, and Prosperity. The Otago Steeplechase was spoiled by accidents to three best backed starters, Pilencia, Ctssells, and Whipcord. Golden Prince took charge at the first fence, the Bod wall, at which Cassells and "Whipcord £*me to Palencia struck the next fence hard, and along the back Golden Prince ha.l Kipling, Lady "Winston, and Palencia in that order at intervals behind him. Thi-J order was maintained throughout. excent that at tho email sod wall turning into the back stretch Palenciii again, struck heavily and :ost his rider. Kipling 1 made strenuous efforts to get to Golden Prince, a,nd looked likely to do so approaching the last three oofitacles but once over the final fence the outsider went away to win comfortably by en lengths. Lady "Winston completed the course and gained third money. She was a furlong away when the leaders finished. Palencia- was vorr sore when brought in, anil it was found that he had injured his stifle badly. In a very pood betting race ior the. Tradesmon's Handicap, Moorland had the- call at the elose on Baldowa, Sei Sail, Lava Geranial, and Gay Juliet. Ecuador broke through the barrier and completed the course, but the field waited for him. It was of no avail, for when tho remainder went out Ecuador swung round and was lelt. Lava and Dancing Dh"b made play from Goldtown, Moorland, Geranial, Finora, and Clontaxf. Moorland ran into second p.ace at the turn to the straight, and headed Dancing Days a little farther on only to (rive way at the distance to Ravenna, and Geranial. Tho last-nimed finished on very •well and beat Ravenna home by a short neck with Moorland another three-quarters of a length away third. At a little length's interval, Clontarf finished fourth with Dancing Days, Eaton Bells, and Guncaße. all closo up. . Aurore and Greenstone forfeited their engagements in tho St. Clair Steeplechase, and Maghera was made a firm favourite from Lucky Chance, Rhoboro, "Windermere, Tokomairiro, and Rongahere in that order. Ma-hera. soon took charge from Tokomairiro, Lucky Chance. Windermere, Rhoboro, and Rong&here. "Windermere f«tll at tho first fence and at the far doublo Lucky Chanco oot rid of his lidex. At the next fence, Tokomairiro was in command from Maghera, Rhoboro and "Windermere with Rongahere tailed off. Rhoboro ran up to Tokomairiro at the water jump, hut tho latter again had clmge at tho brush at the top of tho straight from Rhoboro, Maghera, and Windermere. Rhoboro broke down at tho stand double and after getting over it was puiled up. struck the fiEaall cod wall but quickly made up his ground again and at tho far post and rails was up with Tokomairiro. The favourite jumped into tho ditch at the water jump and Tokomairiro went on again from Windermero and Maghera. In an interesting finisTi, Tokomairiro hold Ins position to win by three-quarters of a length with Maghera a neck away, Rongahere refused at tho water jump the first time. By the scratching of Adjutor, Tenteriiold, and Bed Kriss, the Jumpers' Flat Handicap field was reduced to five. Bonomel was made the hottest favourite of tho day and when the machine closed ho had nearly twice as many tickets taken out on his chanco as the seoond favourite, Penury Ross. Camel Amblo, Captain Sarto, General Advance was the order of the others. Camel *mble gavo Eomo trouble at the barrier and when the tapes went up, lo3t a few lengths. Captain Sarto led out of the Straight from Bonomel, Penury aioso, Camel Amble and General Advanoe. At tho six furlongs post, Bonomel had run up to Captain Sarto and Camel Amble had taken up third position. The favourite drew away round the bend and led into the straight. "When turning for home, Penury Rose mado a forward . move . but' failed to get to Bonomel, who won i>y three-quarters of a 1 length with Captain Sarto another two lengths away third, just in front of Camel Amble. Sunny Loch, Warhaven, Marmont, and Happy Days were the best backed horses in the "Winter "Welter. Francaise gave a lot of trouble at the barrier and eventually sho lost ground, a* did Happy Days and Tho Cheat. Avispado was first out, but at the end of a furlong Francaiso joined him wijjh "Warhaven, Sunny Loch, Golden King, Tho Cheat and Marmont tho most prominent of the others. Avispado led into the straight but was soon supplanted by. "Warhaven with Happy Days coming fast on the outside. In a great finish, Happy Days got up to win by half a head. The Cheat was a length and a half away third with Avispado and Sunny Loch next. After the race, . H.

In the First Division of the JervoLs Handicap, Chaplin carried the most money, but I was never sighted. From an eveii start I Curraghmorn was tho quickest to begin, and was quite clear of a stragg.ing field 'at. the sis furlong post, where Tuscan joined her,, and coming down from the five 'furlong post Sir Archie and WaltF.er were with them. Sir Archie was firat into the straight, and though Walticr challenged he co'.ild make no impression on tho son of Architsi town, who vent on to win easily by a I good margin from AValtzer, who was well | clear of Piton, with Adornment fourth and Cohesion fifth, the rest of the field strung out. The winner paid nearly a eoore and the second a little over a third as much. Bonibrook was the public selection in the Greenlauc' Steeplechase, and ho ran a good race, but made a mistake at the fiisi fence going along the back the second time, which probab'.y ccst his backers a dividend, though McDonald, his pilot, cleverly recovered his position and rede a nice patient race. King Abbey was the early leader, and he strode along nicely each round until the stone wail at the fcot of the hill was reached, where Vccifcrate c.'oscd on him and the latter was firJt over the last fenco and went oh to win easily by five length* from King Abbey, who, «s usual, tired badly over the last half-mile. Esplanade, whan going well alongside Vociforate, fell at the first fence on top of the hill tho second time round. This fence also proved

fatal to- Bluo Hall, who did not seem to handle the going well. , King. Smock was the best backed of tho twenty .-.starters in tho Second Division of tlio Jeryois Handicap. Sleepy Sol was the first to break the line, with Constellation and Drolatique handy, but after a little over a furlong had Veen traverijsd, Exactly and. Bright Sol were at the head of affairs, with the field well strung out. This pair wero first into t.ho straight, with Archibald, Wedding March, Constellation, Drolatique, and King Smock following.. Once heada wero fairly turned for home Transformer could be seen coming fast, and a fine finish ensued, .Bright Sol struggling home by a head from Exactly and Transformer, who wero ft dead-heat for second, with Drolatique closo up fourth. The winner paid a. littlo under what is commonly known as the limit. Sixteen contested tho Penrose Hurdles, Trespass being made ft good favourite, with Curcaiorm next in demand. Yankee Dan led to the first fence, but jumping badly lest his position passing the stand tho first time. Irish Jig, Peter llosa, Lucu.lent, and Curea form wcro the leading divisiotij and they rail this wuy to tho back stretch, where Cureafornl improved Imposition, and at the fence near tho four furlonigs sho and Lucullent were well clear of the field. The mare jumping to the front at' this fenco led over tho last hurdlo and won easily by a couple of lengths from Lucullent, Bright Light -being some distanco away third. The favourite, Trespass, shaped badly, not jumping one fence well. Kawa fell oh the flat at the Start, and Pinna, Peter Rosa, arid Golden Glint also fell at different stages, Peter Rosa when apparently running' well. When the horses wcro paraded ,for tho Great Northern Hurdles, there were found t» be "fifteen, Sir Roseberry and Comical having 'ar battle for favouritism., the former eventually being the best supported. There was no dwelling at tho start-, 4he field being promptly dispatched, and Tinokaha- was first over the initial obstacle, and passing tlio stand he was showing the way to Frisco Mail and Highway." Along the la' , k Tinokaha was well clear of Highway and Comical. Tinokaha was still in front pawing tho stand the second time, with Sir Roseberry, Highwav, and Sn'.kr. handy. Along the back Sir Roseberry w/is with Tinokaha, and out-jumped him at tho fivo furlongs post, with Snake still in a {,'ood position and Comical' coming fast. At tho next fence near the four furlong post Sir I-'oseberry was ju9t in front of Snako, who was ahoad of Comjoal. Sir Roseberry and iSnako came at- the last fence together, but Snake ran down his fenco badly, lcaing some ground which ho could not make up in the urn to the judge, the Invourite winning by a length from Snake, with Comical tho Eamo distance away. Dubious fell at tho first fence and Passin' Through at the fence rear tho six furlong post the second time round. Vagabond, of thoso cutside a place, struggled on best into fourth place.. The field was well strung cut, with Dick and Mart Bruco leading the rest. The Cornwall Handicap field was reduced to thirteen, Barometer being the e.ioct of "backfcrc. 'The start was prompt, and r&seir.g tho stand Doleful Ditty was showing the way to Gala Day, with Arch Amio _ i'.nd Black Cruiser iru clcso attendance. I'hiteving tho back stretch Gala Day was showing the way to a bunched field, with Musketoon and Income improving their positions. Coming down from the five furlong pest Doleful Ditty was again in front, showing the way to Gala Day, and the former was first into the' straight. Once he«h were fairly turned for horn? Musketoon 'Old Income came fast, and at the distance were with the. leader, Doleful Ditty, aiKl the English horse, Musketoon, revelling in the going carried his 10 3 to v.ct-ory in pronounced stvle, Income being a. length in front of Doloful Ditty, the next t<s finish being Barometer, who waa running on. Far. North, on the ivu!b, and several others were in fairly close- order. The time occupied in running this race was 2m ]8 2-ss, ebowing tho ground to be f.iirly holding. The Hunt Club lJurdlea was a chapter of accidents, no fewer than five falling and cue was pulled up. Llewellyn and Bourn weie spiritedly backed, carrying over halt the amount, on the. machine between them. Bourn fell early in the race, and Llewellyn, when bowling along in the lead six furlongs from home, also d'wn. This _ left Lady "Comet well placed, and she won nicely bv four lengths from Kendal, v.-ith King Amans, who was always well placed, three Ifugths away third. Freshman, Hypothesis, and Butcher also fell, while Scintillation wt.3 pulled up. Lady Comet and Kendal each returned over the limit dividends, that on Kendal being the secrnd liest c£ the day.

There were eoventeen sUiXljs in the Members' Handicap, the concluding event of the day, Dayli/nt carrying most money 0.1 the machine. Daylight, on the rail', was first to move, but was soon heeded by Keisler and Hoariri, and this pair were sliovnne the war to York Abbey when the straight was reached, but once heads were fairly set for home, York Abbey came out on tho better going awvy from _ the rails, mid went on to win nicely by a length and a-half l'vom Daylight, who just headed Ycma in tie last piece. Hoariri was fourth. York Abbey' 5 nupport"rs, like bo many other Backers of. winners of the day. received a idrger than Mr Hannon'a h&iaes usually provide.
