NEW BRIGHTON T.C.

REGAL VOYAGE WINS. CLOSE AND EXCITING RACING; With weather conditions on Saturday morning anything but promising, tho New Brighton Club might have been pardoned had it decided to postpone its Spring Meeting. A big counter-attraction in ,tbe CanterburyWellington football match would have provided another reasonable excuse, but noither was availed of. The committee of the club mot in the morning, and decided to go on with the day's sport, and in this they showed a certain amount of wisdom. The bad weather and the football certainty affected the attendance, which was not nearly so big as at some previous m*etings, yet there was a goodly crow a present before the day's sport waa far advanced. Although a few showers fell during the afternoon, and made matters unpleasant for drivers and the general public, the sport was of such a nature as to make the discomforts at least bearable. Seldom has better racing been provided on the New Brighton track, and tho close and cxcitinc finishes provided a veritable triumph for the work of the handicapper, Mr F. C. Thomas. Mr A. I. Rattray, the secretary, had all detail arrangements running smoothly, and a keen band of honorary officials, under the direction of Mr W. E. Thomson, performed their duties with promptitude. A much appreciated feature ot the meeting was that punctuality was observed in the starting of the races. Generally, the conduct of the meeting was a credit to the officials responsibleMr A. J. Hastings the starter, lid great work at the barriers, and Mr A. P. Dioksou was prompt in hoisting the numbers. A word of praise is also due to the caretaker, and the course committee, for the state of the track. What with "fairy rings" and other things, it has presented a_ problem not >asy of solution. The sroing was surprisingly {rood, though not fast. The outstanding performance of the day was registered in the Burwood Hnndicap by Regal Voyage, who, after beine slow to leave the mark, and losing a~ big stretch of ground, put in a (treat last half-mile, and won comfortably, if not easily. Two very promising performers in Tenedos and Captain Wfrack were seen out in the minor pacing events, while in the Autumn Handicap, the unhoppled trotters provided a great race. As was only to bo expected tho totalisator investments showed a big decrease, for the £18.384 10s P ut through the machine fell a long way below last year's total, £25,786 10sDetails of the racing are as follows: IMPROVERS' HANDICAP (in liarnwa), ot 125 sovg; second 24, third 12.

NOTES ON THE RACING. Another Townley Trotter. Iwanta, bailing from B. Townley's stable, was the choice of backers in the Improvers' Handicap, for which a field of twenty-two faced the starter. As is usual in these slow class races, a big percentage extinguished their chances at the start, and over the last half mile the race was confined to a few. Though Merrijigs led into the straight after trotting steadily throughout, his condition failed him over the last part, and the favourite was not fully extended to win from Silurian, who was conceding 06 yards' start, and Bell Heather, one of the outsiders of the field. Iwanta gave a good exhibition from start to finish, and though she was not I called on for any exceptional speed, her steadiness of gait was pleasing. Silurian showed plenty of speed, but i gave D. Withers a hard drive, and Bell I Heather, always well up, gave her best exhibition to date. Of the unplaced division most promise was shown by A* '.lity, a full brother to Bonny Logan, and Pattie Bingen. Homo Voyage, sot to give away almost a furlong's start, never got near the leaders. A Head Victory. The American-bred Llewellyn, who I had not raced for some time, was first choice for the Belfast Handicap, but, after being with the leaders most of the way and fighting out a desperate battle, he wat beaten by the narrowest of margins by Millie de Oro, who made up her ground rapidly and was then driven a patient race by M. B. Edwards. It was a stirring tussle ovor the last furlong, and, while both winner and runner-up were very tired at the finish, both showed gameness and should be improved by the race. Millie de Oro has not done much racing, but she is a very smart mare, and she will now be called upon to race in good class company without having to give away long starts. Llewellyn is plainly a much better horse than when last seen out, and he may yet redeem iiis early promise. He has not grown a great deal, but he is a quality-looking colt and evidently a genuine racehorse. The honours of the race, however, rest with Millie de Oro. The race was not a very interesting one, and the leading pair went right away from the others at the finish, Silver Sea gaining third placo ahead of Playwave. Stowaway never looked like a winner, and Pearler and Desert Eey, a well-backed bracket, failed to make a showing. Goldwortliy and Real Girl raced well enough to suggest that their turn will come shortly, but the remainder were outpaced. A Fine Performance. Begal Voyage carried the public's support in the Burwood Handicap, but she did not flatter her backers at the start, when she failed to go away correctly. With a mile gone she was still nearer last than first, but half a mile from home she set out on what looked a hopeless ehase. A couple of hundred yards from the finish Baynut and Proud Dillon were fighting out a desperate battle when Regal Voyage came with a great rush on the outside and was going away from tho others as the post was reached. The time was not fast, but tho winner put up a fine performance after her initial mistake. She did not pull as she did at Addington and raced very kindly throughout. On this form she looks likely to win in still better company. BaynUt found conditions to hia liking, but he seemed to meet with interference in the straight, and this may have prevented him from getting still closer to tho winner. Proud Dillon was well nursed throughout, but he was simply not good enough at the business end. Shady Spot had every chance, but failed, and Kautoma was the only other to make a showing at the finish. Apex disappointed, and Sunny Bob and Pageant were never prominent. A Smart Pacer. Sodium and Tenedos practically monopolised the betting in tho Seaview Handicap, and this pair paid the dividends. Sodium was slow to begin and lost a good deal of ground, but under any circumstances he would have had no chance with Tenedos, who led for the greater part of the journey and fairly jogged home. Tenedos is an aged gelding, but last season he made his first appearance under colours, and he won all three races he started in. He has not yet finished winning, and he is one of the most promising seen out for some time. Sodium, who is a bit extravagant in his action, showed a lot of speed and easily boat all but the winner. Kelp, Baron Bingen, and Bobert Guy all disappointed, and it was left for Erin's Lynn to secure third money.

I A Promising Trotter. 1 The Autumn Handicap for unhopplcd trotters resulted in the best race of the day, although with half tho journey gone it looked like being tho worst as at this stage the field was well strung out. Half a mile from home the field bunched, and Repute, Young Carbine, Midland, White Satin, and Nelson Boy all looked to have winning chances. Prom the top of the straight it was a great race, and Young Carbine and Bepute held the lead with the others handy. In a punishing finish Midland held on the best, and be won impressively from Young Carbine. The winner is a fast improving trotter and he looks certain to win good races. A. E. Bussell has worked a big improvement in him. Young Carbine put plenty of dash into his work, and stayed on botter than usual Bepute went very steadily. White Satin, when in a good position three furlongs from home, seemed to meot with interference, but she gave a very nice display. Wattlo Patch waa also close up. Handicappers' Triumpji. Another great race took place in the Dash Handicap, and in a punishing finish Captain Wrack, Kautoma, and Sodium crossed the line almost on terms with Sir Author in fourth placo. It was another triumph for the work of tho handicapper, Mr F. C, Thomas. Captain Wrack stuck to his work like a good racehorse, at the finish, and further improvement might be expooted. He was bred at Durbar Lodge, and did most of his early racing in Southland. Captain Wrack is a fine stamp of pacer, and there is no knowing how good he may prove. Kautoma thoroughly deserved his second placing, and Sodium showed himself game by again putting np a fine race. Sir Author showed more speed than anything else in the race, but when making a bold bid towards the finish, he appeared to bore, and had to be straightened up. His turn should not be far off. Avenger Wins: Aleron anil Ngahuia were the prime fancies for the Wainoni Handicap, and in dead-heating for second place behind Avenger, both returned their supporters a portion of the money invested. Ngahuia began with his usual brilliancy, but with half a mile to go the field was running in close order. Aleron, who was handy, appeared to lose a good position three furlongs from homo, and Avenger and Ngahuia were engaged in a groat tusslo a hundred yards from the post. Avenger held his own, while Aleron, travelling very fast, just got up in time to dead-hoat with Ngahuia. Avenger has not always been a very genuine racehorse, but ho has run several good races since being in P. Holmes's care. Ngahuia is brilliant, but does not stay and in another striae Aleron would have beaten him. The_ latter was unlucky to be beaten. Boicole went his best race for some time, and Shady Spot was again close up. Tactless at Last. Harloy Dillon, one of the outsiders of the field in tho Electrio Handicap, made a very quick beginning, and soon established a big lead. Half a milo from home ho had had enough, at which stage Tactless went to tho front, closely followed by several others. Tactless easily held his own in tho run to the post, while in a good battle for second money Hostess outstayed Boyal Comrade. Kinney Dillon and Alvira were Tactless did not win out of turn, and he scored' a popular win. A couple of years back ho looked like turning out a crack pacer, but he trained off, and this marked his first success since April of last year. He has only to retain his form to win again. Hostoss was very patiently handled, but the majonty cave poor displays. Harley Dillon faded right out, and Kinney Dillon never looked like winning. MARTON J.C. SPRING MEETING.

Pandia. and Acco, Appledore having drop ped back. Imamint led round tho wild into the straight from Wallarub Country, with Paratoo making » move. Imamint held her own, and went *way over the last furlong to win by two lengths, Wallaruh beating Wild Country by » Paratoo was fourth, handy with Appledore. and they wore clear of tha whica wn headed by Hinewai and Pandia. . Imamint outclassed the majority of her opponents, and bad too much speed for ou ox them. It was a stylish performance. Were was quiet support for Wallaruh, a three*ear old Htinting Song gelding stable. He justified it, but while he and Wi a Country ran good races they weresoundiy beaten. Paratoo drew 17, and got lost early, so under the circumstances he ranJJ'ell, an so did Appledore. Pandia and Acco showed speed but did not run on. Favourite Scores. The hurdle race proved a good thing for tho favourite, Make Up. Morica mode tho running for a mile from Ruby Dawn, Make up. and Royal Damon. Make Up »nd Royal Damon drew away at the half-mile, ana SiaKe Up led over the last fence, to win, easing up, by five lengths, Royal Doraon beatirg laii Timber by six lengths. Rcdtation was fourth, followed by Masher and Shining Ardour. Make Up's form at Wellington made him look tho certainty he proved to be, and he will win In much better company. Roy« Damon ran well without having any chance of beating tho winner. Ruby Dawn ana Dlsrank, too well-backed runners, performed very poorly, « Hack Cup. The Spring Haok Cup saw » good performonce on the part of Toxeuma's three-year-oiu half-sister, Pakltere.
