TROTTING AT ADDINGTON.

Metropolitan Club's Meeting Ends. OUTSIDER WINS NATIONAL HANDICAP. Brilliant Harold Logan. The New Zealand Metropolitan Trotting Club's August gathering was concluded yesterday. As on the two previous days the racing was of high class order, and some fine finishes were witnessed. Only one favourite was successful during the day, this being Belinda, who was at a very short price. The winner of the National Handicap, the principal race of the day, proved to be Harold Thorpe, a little-fancied runner, who returned his comparatively few supporters a double-figure dividend. The weather was fine, and the attendance was perhaps better than on either of the two earlier days.

Speculation was mora brisk than oil the opening or second days, although the totalisator receipts fell short by £9550 of the sum handled on the corresponding day last year. The receipts yesterday were £31,049, as against £40,599 on tho third day last year. The total investments for the Meeting were £76,916, as against £101,178* in 1930, representing a decrease of over the three days' racing. From every point of view the Meeting has proved most successful, and in no small way has the promptitude and efficiency shown, by those in charge been responsible for this result.

Nelson Ata and Boneta went away at a break and Ropute took the lead from Merce Bingen, Great Way, Ambition, All Peters, and Nelson Boy. The order was much the same throughout, excepting that Gemlight had run into second place with a round to go, and was just at the head of a bunch consisting of Ambition, Merce Bingen, and Lady Fan, who broke a little further on. Ambition' bogan to tiro with a quarter of a mile to go, and Gemlight at this stage was running in third place, but was here proclaimed the winner. Repute had two lengths' lead from Ambition and Gemlight when headed for the jjost, but she could not withstand the challenge issued by Gemlight, who ran home a rather comfortable winner by two lengths, three lengths separating Merco Bingen from Repute, with Ambition, Great Wavj and Boneta some distance away next. As on the first day, Gemlight trotted solidly throughout, and his staying powers being superior to those of Repute, he had not much difficulty in heading the inare, who, like Gemlight, trotted solidly all the way. Merce Bingen trotted her best race for the Meeting, and was never much further back than the position in which she finished. Ambition trotted well, but failed to stay on. White Satin gave a mixed display of trotting, galloping, and pacing, while Lady Pan by repeatedly breaking lost any chance she may have had. A Keen Finish, John Jniks, Meteor, and Great Ballin were backed in that ovder for the Lightning Handicap, the second choice being returned the winner. Trimmer refined to leave the mark, whilo Wraclceeri was also slow to strike her hopples. Sunchild began smartly to lead Wild Voyage, Huon Denver, and John Jinks in close order past the stands, Yecto and Steel All being closest of the remainder. Down the back straight Snuchild still held command from Meteor, Wild Voyage, Steel All, Erin's Fortune, Royal Comrade, and John Jinks. Erin's Fortun • had run up to Steel All and Wild Vov. go as they turned for home, where Sunchild had a slignt advantage from Meteor. In a line run to the post Meteor responded better than Sunchild, who went to a break a few yards from the post, allowing Wild Voyage also to head him off, with Steel All fourth, Great Ballin fifth, and Wrackeen, Royal Comrade, and John Jinks tfext to finish. Great Ballin wfis badly placed early, and it appears that with a little smarter beginning he would have taken a more serious part in the finish, as from the top of the straight home he. was finishing over the top of everything else. An Outsider Prevails. When betting opened for the National Handicap, Satin King and Regal Voyage were practically the only horses enquired for, but investors received a set-back, as neither paid a dividend, Harold Thorpe, the ninth fancy, being the winner. Harold Thorpe broko the line, and led over the first furlong from Dilworth, Mountain Dell, Regal Vovago, Satin King, Logan Chief, Lindbergh', Roi l'Or, and Kingcraft. Dilworth t|ien went to the front, and passing the stands was in charge from Harold Thorpe, Regal Voyage, Mountain Dell, Satin King, Logan Chief, Kingcraft, Roi l'Or, and Lindbergh. Going down the back the order was the same, but Dilworth had opened up a two-lengths' lead from Harold Thorpe, who was the same distance in front of Regal Voyage, who had a length to the good of Satin King, at the head of the others. Turning into the straight with a circuit to go, Dundas Boy, who was running near the tail of tbs field, broke, Cardinal

Logan running into him, and Logan ?ark running into Cardinal Logan. L'hcse three horses were then pulled up. L'he leaders were the same with six fnrongs to go, but down the back Regal Voyage shot to the front with Roi l'Or :oming fast into second place. This losition he did not hold long, however, :'or turning into the straight he had Segal Voyage, Dilworth, Harold Thorpe, satin King, and Kingcraft in front of lim. When straightened up for the , •un to the post Dilworth was the first ' 0 weaken, and Harold Thorpe was do- ' ng his work best. Passing the furlong ' jost, Satin King broke, and was soon i >ut of it, and Harold Thorpe went on i ;o a good victory by a length and a ; lalf. Eoi l'Or finished on best of the ] )thcrs to gain second place, with Harold Logan, who came from a long way back ivith a great finishing run, to secure ;hird money, and Lindbergh, who also 1 natle a bold bid for victory in the straight, in fourth place. Regal Voyigc, who stopped badly halfway down .lie straight, was in fifth place at the finish, followed by Kingcraft, Jewel Pointer, and Mountain Dell. The winner, on the second day showed improved form by finishing in fourth ilacc, and a win in the near future was icralded, but he struck his best form noTC quickly than was generally anticipated. In this race he was never further bacfc than third, and his great stamina him in good stead at the iriisli, so that he ended up his two miles full of running. Arethusa Disappoints. .Arethusa, as on the second day, was nadc a good favourite for the Federal Handicap, but, as in her previous race, she again went to a break when running in a prominent position, and is evidently not at her best. Cuslila d'Or stood flat-footed when the word was ?iven to move. Colonial Boy ran to the front from Arethusa and Happy Land svitb Milo Minto handy. Neeoro, who rc-as not pacing freely over the early stages, went to a bresk the first time turning into the straight, and was not ifterwards persevered with Approaching the stands, Colonial Boy, in front, broke and interfered with Happy Land, tvho broke his hopples and had to be pulled up. This mishap left Milo Minto in the lead, which he did not relinquish, ind he acted as pacemaker to Harvest Child, Sunny Bob, Eugene do Oro, Acre, and Warplane. This order was the same as thoy turned for home, but Harvest Child quickly gave in when under pressure, to finish outside the first half dozen, and Milo Minto went an to a half length victory from Great Ballin, who finished fast from the back. Eugene de Oro was third, a length and a half away, Acre, Pluto, Warplane, and Cranleigh being closest of the unplaced division. Hot Favourite Scores. Belinda was backed down to oven money in the Heathcote Handicap and at no stage of tie journey did she look like letting her supporters down. From a good start in which Belinda was the slowest to move Sunchild and Erin's Lynn took up the running. With half a mile gone Peter Pirate and Sunchild were in front from Sodium, Erin's Lynn, and Belinda in a line, with Dillon Logan, Steel All and Tarndale in the next di\ysion. Belinda went to the front 1 if fore leaving the back straight and Dillon Logan and Sodium also moved up fast. Belinda was still in front passing the stands the last time, and had us her nearest attendants, Dillon Logan, Sodium, Tarndale, Sunchild, Peter Pirate, and St. George. Turning for home Belinda had a length's advantage from Tarndale, who was two lengths ahead of Sodium, with St. George, Sunchild, iind Steel All handy. Belinda was not troubled to go on to an easy victory, and her win was even easier than Wednesday's. Tarndale challenged in the straight but had not a chance, his burst loaving him without an effort to stall off Steel All, who finished strongly in second place, two lengths from the winner and a neck ahead of Tarndale. The Test were well beaten, closest of them to finish being Sunchild, Sodium, and Dillon Logan. Nothing in the race ever had a chance with Belinda. Walk-over for Sir Voyage. Stanley T., Sir Voyage, and Quickfire monopolised the betting in the Addington Handicap, but tfie second and third favourites gave poor displays for the favourite to never look in danger of defeat. Rose Audo was smartest to begin and had Sir Voyage and Duke Bingen as her closest attendants over the first half-mile. Quickfire failed to go off correctly, and Stanley T. was in one of his worst moods and did not take any part in the race. Rose Audo broke along the back the first time, and Sir Voyage went to the front. In (fee meantime Quickfire had trotted fast to pick up the tail-enders, but again went to a break, and Native Star, trotting nicely from the back mark, had run into fifth place. Sir Voyage proceeded to widen the gap as he passed the stands the second time and was in the lead from Rose Audo, with Duke Bingen, Fifa, and Native Star at intervals. Doa the back Sir Voyage ran away from the field, and Duke Bingen ran pr.st Rose Audo, with Fifa and Native Star moving up well. Rose Audo stopped badly from then on and was last to finish. Sir Voyage had a long lead from Duke Bingen, Fifa, and Native Star, in a bunch, turning for home, and he went past the post at nearly a walk with six lengths to spare from Native Star, who finished better than the others to get second place, the same distance ahead of Engagement, with Quickfire, who looked like finishing third, only to break again, in fourth place. John Mauritius was pulled up before the completion of the journey. It was a walk-over for Sir Voyage. Chance Ruined Early. Backers of the favourite were lined to disappointment when Mister Pointer carried their confidence in the Islington Ityndjcap, as he broke in the first furlong and was soon out of the contest. Tactless was a little slow to begin, and Black Lion did not go away well. Holly Bank, Impromptu, and Somerby were the first to, show out, and at the stands Holly Bank, Impromptu, Festival, Somerby, Lifebuoy, and Tactless were the foremost. They raced down the back in the same positions, with .Ayrmont Chimes improving his place. Somerby took the lead six furlongs from home, with Holly Bank, Impromptu, Tactless, and Ayrmont Chimes most prominent of the others. Tactless dropped put with a little less than half a mile to go, and Somerby led Ayrmont Chimes into the straight from lippromptu, Lifebuoy, and Our George. Ayrmont Chimes left the others in the run from, the turn home, and Somerby failed, for Lifebuoy and Netta Oro both to pass him. Sonoma, Lily Harold, and Our fleorge finished next. The winner was' allowed • again to go out at a good price. Considering his- brilliant win last Saturday, ho might have been expected to be better backed. Impromptu failed badly •'m the straight; after well placed throughout, but Lifebuoy raced really ' j well all the way to gather second money. Festival and Tactless stopped badly after going with the leaders over three parts of the journey. Harold Logan Scores. Delightful was made a better favourite than Harold Logan for the concluding event of the Meeting, but the favourite, after being in front "with little more than a furlong to go, was well beateu over the final furlong, to finish a long way back. Passing the stands with a round to go Dundas Boy had I'hatffo .from Delightful, witJU o#s*

dinal Logan in third place, followed by Muriel de Oro, Tom Thumb, Harold Logan, Dilworth, Logan Chief, Free Advice, and Glenrossie. Delightful had the 'lead at the three furlongs, with Harold Logan second and Dundas Boy, Cardinal Logan, and Muriel de Oro nest, and they entered the straight in this order. Harold Logan went, away from the others at the wish of hi« driver and recorded a win with something in hand- Glenrossie did best of the others over the final stages to come from a good distance back, and beat Muriel de Oro into third place by three lengths.
