TROTTING NOTES. The Greyinouth Trotting Club's Summer Meeting will be held to-morrow. The starting at Addington yesterday was not up to the high standard set by Mr A. J. Hastings at some recent Meetings, and it seemed that in his anxiety to get the fields away punctually he gave advantages to several horsemen Who are always ready to avail themselves of any laxity on the part of the starter. On several occasions horses were just coming into the barriers when the tapes were released, and the mere fact that they were on the move gave the man advantage over the others. The Rules of Trotting state that "the start shall be a standing one," and was framed to give every horse the same chanof. If horses will not stand at the battier the starter has his remedy, but the chances of the good-mannered horses, should not bo sacrificed for the sake of a few restless ones.

Terence Dillon showed \ reversal of form at Addington yesterday. On the opening day he was favourite in the Islington Handicap of a mile and a quarter, but in finishing third he was well beatott by two average performers in "William tho Great and Logan Holme, the former of whom he was conceding 36yds, while ho was meeting Logan Holme on even terms. This was the only race of the day in which tho winner did not improve upon the time he •was handicapped to do. In the Selwyn Handicap yesterday Terence Dillon hopped out smartly, made all his own running from a much better class field, and still had enough in reserve at tho finish to stall off a strong challenge from Prince Pointer.

TERENCE DILLON IMPROVES. Tho Canterbury Purl: Trotting Club was not favoured by the weather for the second day of its Summer Meeting., for in tbe cnr'.y hours of the morning heavy rein foil and there were intermittent ."bowers right up til! it c'i'iovk. The committee toe during the forenoon aud decided to postpone, the startiug of the Meeting from 11.30 till 12.15 p.m. No rain was experience'; for the rest of the day, and while the drivers in the first race were soon thickly covered in mud, those in later races found the going comp:tr:i'. :, 'eiy good, though by no means fast, i* m start to finish the racing was rou'iueted in a manner creditable to the wide-awake officials, and though there were a few reversals of form, the racing was clean and free from suspicion. The totalisator investments showed a decrease on last year's figures from £40,110 10s to £30,671 10s. Tbe total for the Meeting was £65,32$ 10s, as against £78,095 10s twelve months ago. Results:-

NOTES ON THE RACING. The Progressive Handicap provided a very poor contest,, fur early in the race Fairlight established such a lead that it seemed unlikely that lie would be headed. He handled the turns badly throughout, and a coup'e of breaks allowed Sarsaparilla to head him, and win comfortably. Sarsaparilla owed his victory to his steadiness and mistakes by others rather than to any great show of brilliance on his part. Patiently handled by M. B. Edwards, he waj given every chance, and not a mistake marred his effort. Eose Audo showed more speed than the remainder, but she was a very tired mare passing the post, and was evidently not ready for a severe contest. Sea Queen was going solidly, but lacked brilliance. Tho favourite, Nelson McKinney, was never dangerous.

Acre Prevails. In the Prebbleton Handicap Acre showed a glimpse of his best form by winning in very easy fashion after making up his ground rapidly from the start, and putting in a run from the half-mile post that carried him to the front before the straight was readied. Pacing in great style, Aero was strongly challenged by Sungleam, but one cut of the whip saw Aero respond gamely, to win in. most impressive fashion. Acre is destined to win in much better company than he met on this occasion.

DalnaMno's Easy Win. Dalnahlne gave further proof! of the great improvement he has made by easily defeating those opposed to him in tho Park Handicap. While the track Conditions suited him to a nicoty, his performance carried a lot of merit. He picked up his ground early in the race, and his driver, J. McLennan, was content to await his opportunity before racing to the leaders. This opportunity presented itself going down the back the last time, and the chestnut quickly raced up to Pan Yan and Silk Thread. Hounding the top, Pan Yan broke under extreme pressure, and this left Dalnahine well in front. From this on the race was all over, and Dalnahine was not extended to win by a good margin. Dalnahine. has now won four timos in his last live starts, and trainer J. Henderson has evidently come to an understanding 'with a pacer that has always been regarded as unreliable. In his recent efforts he has raced with a keenness that he had not shown previously, and ho can now be regarded amongst the top-notchors. Pan Yan went a rattling good race until the filial stages were reached, When he bebbled, but even at this stage it was noticed that he was doing his best, and had no chance with the winner. Silk Thread had every chance, but did not seem at home in the going. Trampfast was all at sea in the mud. An Outsider. Tamerlane, in spite of his recent moderate showing, was made favourite for the Hornby Handicap, but he did not look a winner at any stage of the journey, the going being all against him. The race was full of interest from start to finish, for Real the Great, hitting the front in the first few furlongs, set a merry pace with Nelson McKinney, Wild Hebe, and Swiftbine in close order. It was not until the last half-mile was entered upon that Clonmel appeared on the scene, and commenced a well-sus-tained run that landed him a very comfortable and popular winner. It is a long time since Clonmel has been returned a winner, and the fact that he was one of the least fancied did not detract from the welcome he received. Real the Great found the journey just too far. Cannonball had every chance, but was well beaten a long way from home. Nelson McKinney was with Jie field so long as his. condition lasted, but Tamerlane's form did not justify he confidence reposed in him by the public.

Terence Dillon Improves. Terence Dillon was hacked as the best of good things for the Selwyn Handicap, and the good thing duly materialised. The Author Dillon gelding was first away from the barrier, and piloted the field for the whole journey, lifty vards from the post, Prince Pointer, who had been travelling great guns, put in a strong challenge. In a great race to the post, Terence Dillon held a very slight advantage, but both horses were under pressure. Terence Dillon showed surprisingly good form as compared with the first day, when lie finished a moderate third to William the Great and Logan Holme, in the Islington Handicap, but possibly the going on this occasion suited him better. St. Maura, Acron, and Taurekareka all broke during the running, but Talaro and Bonny Logan went good sound races.

The Saddle Horses. The two favourites. Male o' Mine aud Donard, finished tirst and second in the Middlctou Handicap, one of the few two mile saddle races iui-iuded in trotting programmes these days. It was plain that the majority of those engaged had not been trained for such a race, for. with haif the journey revered only a few appeared to have winning chances. Half a mile from homo Mate o' Mine made his run, and the rest looked poor class. He won very easily from Donard. a three-year-old. with the others uutclassed. Mate o' Mine comes from a good iamily, for Topsy, his dam, is by Maeletean from* a thoroughbred mare, aud also left a great mare in the New Zealand Cup winner Win Soon, who is the dam of Free Lance, and Shine Soon. Pour Chimes, his sire, is represented by great

racehorses in Matchlight and Cathedral Chime.', the latter the sire of Kohara and Ahuriri.

Bingen Lad at Last. B'mgen Lad, alter having raced consistently in his last half dozen starts, h;id a winning turn in the Telegraph Handicap. Well handled by M. B. Edwards, he v.-as nursed for a punishing finish, :utd managed to stall off strong challenges by lloou Hay and Hir-h Jinks, both of whom were running ou at the tiuish. Biugeu Lad is not a good stayer r.iul several times of late has failed baJJy at the end of his races but on thi? occasion he managed to hold out. Ho on. Hay was not well placed in the early stages, but there was no doubt about his finishing run. Epigram, and Pan Van found the handicaps all too great and were never dangerous.

Brentloc Fails. The .Final Handicap provided keen speculation, Brentloc being installed a strong first fancy with Logan Holme next best backed. Brentloc was the quickest to begin and very soon was running in second place. Over the last three furlongs he was joined by Logan Holme, and at a merry pace the pair set out for the post together. Brentloc cried enough a hundred yards from homo, and thus made Logan Holme's victory an easy one, while Dr. Dillon, who broke round the top turn, also got up to bent the tiring Brentloc. Logauwood made a £ood effort, but was not good enough at the handicap, and the remainder were never prominent.

The Auckland Racing Club's Summer Meeting was concluded to-day in fine weather and in the presence of a large attendance. The track was improved as a result of early morning raiu. The feature of the day was the surprise win of Prince Humphrey in the Royal Stakes. The classic events at the meeting caused the complete downfall of the favourite?, and the form was very hard to follow. Mask won the principal handicap from I'orce and In the Shade, and in the open sprint Money Order scored from High Finance and ragatio.lli. The stewards concluded the enquiry into the f»U of Count Cavour in the Racing Club Handicap on the previous day. First they rie;ilt with the written protest of Mr ,T. S. Barrett, the owner of the horse, who alleged deliberate foul riding on the part of R. R ee d, the rider of Star Stranger. The stewards found that the allegations were not justified in the evidence presented. Th<;y then dealt with the matter in the usual form, and fonnd that the happening was entirely accidental, caused by Scat rolling over on another horse who, in turn, passed the interference en and no action was taken. T. Green was in I"™ in t! - ; ° saddle, riding the last four winners on the card. Goodwood Handicap. Si' Archie was always favourite fo r Goodwood Handicap from Scat and Dav Guard. Day Guard made all the running from Le Choucas. Sir Archie moved up « the half-mile and, passing the leadens when well iu the straight, came on to win by nearly two lengths from Day Gu»rd. who beat Le Choucas bv half a length. Archeno was a Tnoi ftaX6 fourth, followed by Vrenday and Paper Boy.

Sir Archie won without any difficulty. Le Choucas should win a race shortly, and might be worth remembering if he races a: Trenthsm. Taper Boy was is a position throughout to win if hs had been good enough.

SylvU Handicap. Rsasay ■was a hot favourite for the two-year-old handicap. Ke was soon out in front and led Mauriaeaa and Patadawn to tho straight. Raasay was never off the bit, to win easily by three lengths from Mailriaena, with Author two lengths back, beating her stable mate, Patadswn, by a nose for third money. Marion's Birthday and ifoehau [ were next. j Raasay outclassed the opposition, and et I no stage was he doing his be::. I Grandstand Handicap. Mask was a solid favourite for t!:» Grandstand Haudicap, Bcnnsnee being a firm second choice. Siaosi and Gala Day made tho running from In the Shade and Doree, the rear being brought up by Bennanee, Mask, and Front Rank. The order was the same all the, way round, and at the five-furlong post Mask was still last. In the straight In tho Shade and Doree took charge from Siaosi. Doree gradually got the better of In the Shad?. She looked the winner a furlong from home, but Mask then came with a solid finish and beat her by three-quarters of n length. In the Shade wa3 a neck away third. Battlemoat was a good fourth, and then came Bennaneo and Cohesion. Mask's chance till he made his run in the straight did not look at all bright, but in tho finish he won decisively. Doree stuclc out the distance well, but at 7-3 she was very nicely handicapped, which no doubt assisted her. In the Shade was not good enough. No runner had a better chance than he did to win. Battlement was ouly fair. Bennanee was never going like a winner. Front Rank was well back throughout and made no progress worth mentioning. She covered a lot of extra ground. Auckland Hurdles. Wedding March represented the Hannon stable in the Hurdles, and he went out a solid favourite. Beau Cavalier made the running for a round, and then was joined by Karamu, Archibald, and Wedding March. At the next jump Beau Cavalier and Wedding March drew avay, and in the run homo Wedding March won by three lengths. Archibald was twelve lengths away third. Gler,otus was a poor fourth, with Karamu next. Ked Comet fell at the third hurdle. Wedding M3rch won very easily. Beau Cavalier is improving. Boyal Stakes. With only four left in the Royal Stakes Staghunter was the favourite, and Eulalie was also well backed. Gascon; began best, but Staghunter and Eulalie soon ran past him, and they ran in this order to the half, with Prince Humphrey bringing up the rear. Gascony closed up running for tho straight, and Staghunter, running Out wide. Gascony got up on the leader atid headed him off. .Tust as Gascon}' looked certain to score Prince Humphrey shot, forward, and quickly settled tho issue, winning by the best part of a length from Gascony, who beat Staghunter by a neck. Eulalio was right up fourth. Tho result was ft staggering surprise to backors, the winner being almost universally overlooked, as his recent form did not siiggost the victory. It was, nevertheless, decisive. Gascony had every chance, and covered less grourd than anything in the race. Staghunter loßt ground when he ran out, and ho was slicking on again at the finish, but he was Well beaten. Eulalie ran a great deal better than she did on Wednesday last. Clifford Plate. Rapier's two opponents in the w.f.a. event were not seriously regarded. Satrap led for j about seven furlongs from Rapier, King Lu dropping well back. Then Rapier went ahead. King Lu mado a sprint from tho five furlong post and was seriously challenging Rapier as they straightened up for the judge. Rapier took some time to shake himself together, and for a time King Lu raised the hopes of his supporters. Kapier, however, put in some good work at the finish and won by two lengths, with Satrap a neck behind King Lu. It was easy money for Rapier. Bowen Handicap. Paganclli was a solid favourite for tho open sprint, with Tea Time a good second choice. King Arch was first out, but his stay in front was brief, High Finance running up, and leading to the straight from Paganclli, Silvermine, and Receipt, with Money Order at tho head of tho next bunch. When well in line Money Order came through and won by three-parts of a length from High Finance, who beat Paganelli by half a length. Paperchase was fourth, and then came Silvermine and Tea Time. Money Order won well, and finished solidly. Paganelli had every chance. Hig_h Finance ran an excellent race, and was only beaten Over the last bit. Paperchase ran another solid race without being equal to getting into the money. Silvermine was beaten on his merits, and Receipt faded right out in the straight. Grey Handicap. Mervette was a good favourite for the concluding event. Bipon Abbey led to tho straight from Mervette and Judge's Box, with Speechless next. Once in line Mervette camo away and won by two lengths from Speechless, who beat Cynthia N. by half i, length. Quinsilia vvas fourth, and then came Bannock, Judge's Box, and Bold Front. Mervette was always going like a winner. She is a four-year-old filly by Lucallus from Brayton. the dam of Royal Box and Tarleton. She is trained by A. Tinker, who had a great Meeting With his horses, and she also gave T. Green his fourth successive winning ride of the day. Quinsilia 6hould win soon. Respirator fell, but no serious results ensued.

Eii'lii acccpio: n paraded :'or the opening event, the District Handicap, Kawana beiu;; made a good favourite from Allanora and Val Logan. This trio engaged in an exciting finish uud only the judge could separate them. AlUnora went to the front after two furlongs had been covered and had a clear advantage enlering the home ran. Tho SoM closed on him neariug the post, but ho was able to last long enough to gain (he verdict by a head. Tho next two, Val Logan and Kawana, were separated by a- narrow margin another head away, and then followed Charlie Lincoln and Bessie I-iliou together a length away. Tho Kanicti Handicap attracted ten starters, Ked Audubon being mads a better favourite than Proud Dillon. Bed Audubon hopped off smartly and led for five furlongs from Bingenwood and Hilda Orton, but failed to sustain his effort and was passed by both Bingenwcod and Electrio Huon at tho home bend. The former entered the straight first from Electric Huon, and withstanding a challenge by the latter, won comfortably by two lengths. Dan Log*n was third ten" lengths away, and then followed Harina and Proud Dillon

Afton Water was paraded for the race but suffered » ricked- stifle in the preliminary and was withdrawn from the race, investments being returned. The Rimu Goldfields Handicap in saddle wa3 morn or less a Sasco. Only four contestants faced the starter, and the favourite jogged along well clear of the remainder throughout, winning by half a furlong from Rjipahoe and Whispering Boy, with Anan Lad a furlong away. Tho last-named trio took it in turns to break and never caused the iirat horse any anxiety. The principal event, the Weslland Trotting Club Handicap, produced an interesting contest. Tho New Brighton-trained Avonwood was made an even money favourite, But failed to materialise. He led for the initial six furlongs but was then displaced by Great Audo, who maintained hiß advantage to the post, winning by two lengths from Wineberry. The latter mado a. strong effort in the last half-mile but was unable to catch the winner. Avonwood mado a couple of mistalto3 during the race, bait in any case had no chance with the placegetters and finished a moderate, fourth. Logan Lad was next, well back. Sedmere failed to settle down to a. gait and took no part in tho race. Roachdale and Mc.Kcnzi.-i Girl accounted for most of the speculation in the Stafford Handicap, the former being tho ultimate favourite. Ho quickly established a big break on the field, and approaching the turn for home, wpb welt clear of Bessie Dillon and Dan Logan. He wis id distress, however, entering the straight and the Uttlo fancied Boosie Dillon took charge and stalling off challonges by Dan Logan end Solitude, won by two lengths from Dan Logan, who was three lengths in front of Solitude, with the favourite next. McKcnzic Girl failed to settle down to her task and tailed tho field throughout.

Only five acceptors contested the Dominion Trotters' Handicap, Golden Spray being made less than nn evon money favourite. He disputed tho lead with Rothino for the first round and then Prudent Child joined in. The last-named headed the favourite in the last round and led into the Btraiglit, but tho later shot to the front when given his head and won without effort by four lengths from Prudent Child, who was two lengths in front of Royal Review. The last named lost his feet on several occasions but would have had no chance with the winner. ■»

Bingenwood, penalised 21yda for his earlier victory, was made favourite for the Aviation Handicap and again returned a good price. Hilda Orton was the early leader, but after a round, Charlie Lincoln took charge and led along tho back from Bingeswood and Val Logan. The favourite assumed the lead approaching the home run, and entering the straight clear of Val Logan, went on to win decisively by three lengths from Vol Logan, who heat Charlie Lincoln by half a length for third money. The Final Handicap in saddle was the medium of spirited betting, Avdnwood, Great Audo, r.nd Rep closely contesting the honour of favouritism. The supporters of Great Audo were soon deprived of interest as he failed to get moving after a good start arid was pulled up. Avonwood quickly made a big break on the field and won from end to end, having an advantage of ten lengths at the po9t from itep, who was three lengths in front of Harina. the next to finish being LUdy Minto, Red Audubon, and Locanda Maid.
