NOTES ON THE RACING. [THE PRESS Special Service.] The Wanganul Spring Meeting was concluded on Saturday. . Earn set in after the first raco, and continued until after the seventh race, making the track soft and The outstanding performance of tho day was the win of Laughing . Prince m the Eclipse Stakes. He bent hiß opponents decisively, and will be hard to beat m three-year-old events this season. Eighteen two-year-olds went out for the Debutante Stakes. Tamatete s brother, ■Freehold, was the favourite, but he got badly off. Knightlike Sweot Charity) was well away, although ho drew No. IG, and, waiting on the leaders, Shot Silk and Chit, until the straight, ho strode to the front and won impressively. knit and Shot Silk both showed early speed, and . Chit staved on "well. Royal 1 P the straight, and brought down Irish Court. Freehold, Silver Rule, and Banket aro likely improvers, Freehold finishing sixth, after get* ting so poorly away. Brigadier Bill showed improved form m tho Gonville Hurdles, and was always near the front, and going like a winner. Anchor would have troubled him but for a bad jump at tho last fence. Troilus and San Pedro, the favourites, were well beaten, the latter being sore as tho result of his first day 8 fall. . „ . . The Spring Hack Handicap gave_ Jiastori another opportunity to show her solid qualities and she caught and beat Tea Time m the last stride, after tho latter, with Vast Acre, had made all the running. "Vast Aero is greatly improved sinco ho last raced. Folydectes was the favourite, but was in the rucic all the way. Avro finished fourth after getting very badly away. The public expected Grand Knight and Rcramoana to do best in the Eclipse Stakes. Lvsander and Rcromoana led from brand Knight, Laughing Prince, and Pateta to the turn, where the latter pair closed up, but once in the straight Laughing Prince came forward and won decisively and going away. It was a very impressive performance. Ij>sander and Grand Knight both ran wel', and so did Paleta, who has given his trainer a good deal of trouble lately with a skm disease. Reremoana had every chance, but - is. not in form. Star Stranger ran ,ast the way, but closed up the gap in the las. ha For'tbo Hack Steeplechase Gilgai and The wcro enual fnvountes, with Ho S. ° Mixed Heather and Rayo mado all j the running from Gilgai and Oneroa.

The Tattersall's Club races were held in fine, cold weather. Showers overnight and in the forenoon mado the going on the Ilandwick track slightly heavy.
