NOTES ON THE RACING. [THE PBBBB Special Berries.) WELLINGTON, July 8. A Poor Bace. The opening ' event, the Vittoria Hurdle Handicap, was confined to a one-dividend field, and there was not much between Mountain Guide and Avro for the honour of favouritism. The latter was soon put out of court, as he ran down the first fence badly and dislodged his rider. Mountain Guide took charge entering the back streteh, with Zippor in close pursuit, but the latter crashed at the five furlong post, leaving Mountain Guide with a substantial advantage from Paris and Daylight. Paris made an effort in the straight after making a foulty jump at the last fence, but Mountain Guide always had the race in hand, and won without pressure by three lengths. Daylight was over a dozen lengths away. The race was spoilt to a large extent by the two falls, but in any case the winner, in spite of one bad jump, was going the best throughout. Paris made a poor display at his fences, and failed to make one good jump. Zippor was doing his work satisfactorily when he fell, but would have had a hard task with thS winner. An Easy Win. Merry Melody was the only withdrawal from the Woburn Hack Handicap, for which Desert Song (A. E. Ellis) was made a four hundred ticket better favourite than Hunting Call <H. Gray). Both ran good races, but the winner, Coon Song, who drew No. l at the barrier, wos always in the iront division, and led on to the course proper from a bunch headed by Abbey Queen, Portray, Glenroisie, Desert Song, Blue Paper, and Hunting Call. Coon Song went away in the ran home and recorded an eafl 7. w iP v over two lengths from Portray, with Hunting Cry half a length away, a head in front oi Desert Bong. Tahoma, Gowanlea, Great

Lady, Kllligrew, Glenrosste, and Bine Paper were the next to finish. The winner U another of the Hunting Song breed, which was also represented by the third and fourth horses. Hunting Call and Desert Song were not prominent early, and did not threaten danger until headed for home. The latter looked likely inside the distance, but did not finish on as well as expected. Hurly Burly was in evidence amongst the leading division at the false roil, but drifted back to near the rear of the field before the post was reached. An Improving Performer. The Matai Hack Steeplechase provided a chapter of accidents, only five of the nine starters completing the course. Wyeford rushed away with tho load to# field h*d covered half a mile, and at the far torn in the first circuit was several lengths in front of Hymestrason, High Heather, and Oorneroff. Wyeford'a lead was reduced when the stands were passed, and entering upon the final round Hymestrason headed him, with Corneroff and Waitaunaha m»king forward moves. Corneroff and High Heather fell at the sod wall, and Wyeford went out at the next fence. Hymestrason was then left with a doien lengths advantage from Waitaunaha, with another gap to Sir Moment, while Taramoa . and Master Jack were tailed off. Hymestrason completed hia task without any mistakes, and was slowing up at the post to gain a five lengths' victory. Sir Moment collared Waitaunaha in the run from the last fence and beat him by two lengths for second honours. Taramoa and Master Jack got round safely and finished down the course. Red Bank only covered half a mile, having to be pulled up owing to bursting a blood-vessel. The winner gave R. E. Hatch his second successive, win. He is a useful steeplechaser without having had much experience at the game. Sir Moment did his best work over tho concluding stages, and was finishing on well. Taramoa showed prominence by going up to Wyeford at the end of a circuit, but the effort was short-lived, and he gradually went back. Oorneroff was going well when he fell, and both he and High Heather would probably have taken part in the finish. Diamond Jack was always labouring In the rear and gave purely a hunter's display. Favourite Wins. Black Duke and Master Clarence were the only defections from the Stewards' Handicap, and in a pool totalling close on £6OOO Consent was rated the best proposition, carrying four hundred tickets more than were entrusted to Hopwood and Marble King. The field was well bunched to the false rail, where the most prominent comprised Consent, Limosin, Paddon, Hopwood* M&ndy, Kiosk, and Subdivision. Once in line Consent drew out, and. shaking off all challenges, won decisively by two lengthe from Paiko, who came with a rattle at the finish to beat Paddon by a length. Hopwood was close up next, in front of Lady's Boy, Marble King, and Prince of Orange. Tho winner recorded an attract!*© victory, but could not have gone much further. Paiko worked his way through the field Cf®P thi last furlong, and was flniihinj on very solidly. Paddon had every chance, and would benefit by the race. Subdivision showed some pace early, but retired from view before the distance was reached, A Heatt Victory. The Wellington Steepleohaße provided an excellent race, marked by only one fall. Master Lu was the leader to the first fence, but resigned his piece to Manganl at the next, and as the field passed the stand the first time Mangani showed the way to Master Lu, Radiate, Matu, Odin, Aurora Boreal!*, and Nukumai. Radiate headed Mangani going into tho back stretch, but the latter again jumped to the front at the seven furlong post and led round the far turn from Radiate, Matu, and Aurora Borealls. The field slowed down entering the straight the next time, but speeded up going to the back, Mangani and Radiate racing together in front of Aurora Borealis, Matu, Master Lu, and Wharncliffe. Mangani got a break en the field travorsing the top, while Radiate weakened, and was supplanted by Aurora Borealls, Matu having fajlen at the sftd wall. Mangani had a substantial load from Aurora Borealis, with a break to Master Lu and Radiate rounding the home turn, and jumped the iaat fence six lengths in front of the favourite, who lost ground at the obstacle. Mangani was showing the effects of the ordeal when undertaking the run to the post, and Aurora Borealis settled down to make up the leoway. Amidst intense excitement Mangani struggled on and withstood the favourite'* stubborn challenge to beat her on the post by a heed. Master Lu was five lengths hack, ten lengths In front of Radiate. Wharncliffe was next. Odin and Nukumai oompleted the course, but were well in tho rear at the finish.

The winner gave a sterling: display thronjbout, and owed his success to stealing a march in the last circuit. He was stopping badly over the last half-mile, and the favourite had him beaten • stride from the post. The impression was gained that the tatter's rider left his run too late, but a bad jnmp at the last, and the necessity of Riving hi? mount time to find her feet, had much to do with her defeat. Master Lu and Radiate were both done with over half a mile from home. Wharncliffe tailed off early as a remit of a oouple of faalty efforts, but with little pace on he was able to be up near the leaden with a round to go. Another mistake settled him along the back. Flying Swift was always in the rear, and was pulled np before the last circuit was entered upon. Interesting Exhibition.

Nukaaal, Archibald, Apache, fend Mountain Guide were withdrawn from the Trenthtm Hurdle Handicap, and another interacting race was witnessed. The public went solidly lor Amorist, and he carried four hundred tickets more than were invested on Taamai, but the latter'a supporters toon lost interest, as he evaded the first fence. Prince Lu quickly assumed command and lad past the stand from Amorist, Nucleus, Beaumont, Troilus, Jen, and Fine Acre., Amorist joined Prince Lu going into the back, and the pair were several lengths in front of Nucleus and Beaumont together at the far turn, with Jen, Carinthia, and Troilus next. Prince Lu gave up the light around the top, and Amorist streaked away from Nucleus, Beaumont, and Oarinthia. This was the order to the last fenoe, which Amorist add Nucleus both hit hard. The former was in distress at the distance, and Nucleus soda had his measure, while Oarinthia threw oat a challenge. Nucleus, however, was not troubled in the run home to win by two lengths from Amorist, who lasted jnst long enough to btat Oarinthia by half a length. Ulster Galop, who lost a lot of ground by • bad jump In the middle stages, was five lengths away next, and there was then a gap of ten lengths to Beaumont. Jen, Panorama, and Fine Acre followed, the last to finish being Brigadier Bill, Troilus, and Prince Lu. The winner owed her success_ to better staying and to the fact that Amorist was set a difficult task in keeping with the speedy Prince Lu until the latter ran himself out. AmOrlst, however, put up a good fight under the circumstances, and did well to ward off Carinthia in a punishing finish. Horsemanship Tells.

There was some solid speculation In the Whyte Handicap, Mendip being made • two hundred ticket better favourite than Best Friend, with a gap of six hundred tickets Jo Ranelagh. The last-named failed to get a run as he and True Blood were not in line when the barrier lifted and both were left standing at the post. Blimp and Full Mark were the first to show out from Best Friend, Mendip, Maori Boy, Ohopin, and Marjoram. There was no change in the order to the far turn, and Blimp and Full Mark were together in front of Marjoram, Mendip. and Beet Friend at the straight. The last-named took eharge inside the distance and apP«»"d: to ihave the race well in band, but a hundred yards from the post High Pitch put in an appearance from the ruck and tackled the leader. He had his head in front at one. stage nearing the line, but Gray, with a characteristic effort, got Best Friend up w ' n . * short head. This pair had the finish to themselves, the third horse, brfng over two lengths away in front of Marjoram, Chopin, Blimp, and Black Duke. One for AsMrarton. The concluding event, the Te Aro Handicap, not only provided one °' th J * ur £ the day, but wag responsible 'or the Msi«st win by the Ashfcurton-trained Town Major, who ranked as ninth favourite. Two other outsiders in Kahu Kura and Singer were the .-i_ fAHfiApji and piloted Pedestal, litxcretia, and Town Major into the J?**—. .namAft were still In front halfway down the atraight, but Inside the distance Town Major shot out and Boon 'J™! yond doubt, winning in an e W?* nnor w s* over two lengths from who came through from the Aiddle of the field in the last furlong and be ® 4 ® rl J| l £?! by a neck. The Sun was closc up next, and then came Snow Pripce, Air Laddie, ana Mount Shannon. The winner is one of P. T. _Bomu s team, and was ridden a patient race by his son. The Australian-bred The Warden came from well back, and is worth watching. Kahn Kura showed a bold front for t.e greater port of the journey, and more will be h«ard of him over a aborter course. Semper Paratus was a solid favourite. but he was never in the limelight. He got away well and had a favourable P° S W°» _?*£/'. nd also*!!* sent back in the second furlong and also at the far turn, and theso reverses settled any chance he possessed.
