She was showing the effects of her previous trying effort and the heavy going helped towards her poor showing. Bun of Mishaps. L. J. Ellis lias had his share of falls in the past -twelve ' months. At last year's Winter Meeting at Wingatui he received severe injuries when Topere fell with him, and since recovering from them he has had four falls, fortunately escaping serious injury in each case. Enquiry at Wingatui. The sustained struggle between Last March and Waiwene in the Janefield Handicap' at Wingatui yesterday was followed by a judicial enquiry into Waiwene boring out on to Last March and impeding his progress. The stewards decided that any interference that foolc place was unintentional, and that the judge's placing* be sustained.

! Will Require Time. Of the steeplechase horses mo far produced at- the Dunedin Meeting the most promising is Deportment, who is built on the right lines and can command a reasonable turn of speed. Some of his jumping has been goodj but he lacks experience, and gives indications that lie will not be seen at his best until after a season's racing. Later On. Captain's Gift put up a solid performance in the hurdle race at Winga- 1 tui yesterday. His form points to his prospects for later important engagements being very bright. If not taken to Melbourne he will be one of the earlv. fancies for the Grand National Hurdles at Eiccarton. There is no doubt about his brilliancy over the battens and with a little more racing a long journey •will not trouble him. Unlucky Jumper. Morena did not fall iu the hurdle race at Wingatui yesterday but struck heavily ip front and his rider was .bumped out of.the saddle. The liorso jumped tvrto fences cleanly afterwards. : Tilson escaped injury and also rose unhurt -when The Babe fell with him in the steeplechase. At Wingatui To-day. The,weather at Dunedin last evening was still threatening and the prospects : for to-day were far from premising. The track in any case will be very hold- ; ing. For the ' Tahuna .Steeplechase French Fleet will be at a very short I price. ' The Colonel Cygnus-Silver Salver ;-bracket and Hounalow will probably account for moct speculation in the ; Aldworth J Handicap. ' The Chokebore pair, Straightcourse (E. Coveny) and Fast Passage. (A. East- . wood), will be in strong demand for the | King George Handicap, jtnd moat opposition. will be forthcoming from . Eational 11. Morena, Membo, and Captain's Gift comprise a likely trio to dispute . favouritism in the Greenfield Hurdles In the Empire Handicap form points conclusively to Mount Boa. Pair " Weather will be best supported of the remainder. Nylotis appears likely to account for the opposition in the Dunedin Steeplechase, and Umtali and Deportment will command respect. A. useful field will parade for the Domain Handicap, and the best may be Merry Peel, Last March, and Kerbside. The best race of the day should be ■ provided by the Farewell Handicap, and the placed division will probably be confined to Winsome Hind, Eascal, and Taboo.

TROTTING NOTES. Reminder. Acceptances lot the Ashburton T.O.'s "Winter Meeting close on Tuesday at 8 p.m. A Disappointment. One of the biggest disappointments at yesterday's Meeting at Addington waß the failure .of Toild Lonzia. The four-year-old colt had raced well in all his earlier efforts this season, and he was confidently expected to race [prominently in the Elevation Handicap, but he broke early in the raee—an uliUßiial happening for him—and he lost so much ground that he was hot afterwards per-' severed with. A Prominent Sire. Biddy Parrish and 'Moilern Girl, winners of the two events for trotters, at Addington yesterday, claim as their sire Guy'Parrish, whose name has been pro.minent in races of the above description during the last three Meetings. At

Forbury Park, Oamaru, and yesterday's fixture, seven of the eight events confined to unhoppled trotters have been won by his progeny. Modern Girl, three, Fairyland two, "Gay Paree one, and Biddy Parrish one, have been contributors to his fine record. A Genuine Stayer. Rollo further enhanced his reputation by his convincing win in the King Georgo Handicap yesterday. On this occasion he began smartly and he was soon pacing along nicely in a handy position, where he was kept until he was required to mako his effort threo furlongs from home. His stamina was tnuch in evidence over the concluding j stages, and ho had the remainder of the field well beaten in this stage of the race. R. B. Berry deserves mueli credit for the improvement he has effected in Rollo during the present season. a period in which he has won four races with the gelding, two of his two mile successes having been run in 4min 20see, time which has very seldom been beaten in winning efforts. Rollo, providing he moves off in his future races as he did yesterday, has a long way to go before he reaches the end of his tether. Aii Adept with Trotters. \V. J. Tomkinson, who is already farfamed for his ability in tho training and driving of unhopplefl trotters, was prominent again at Addington yesterday in the events for horses of tho trotting gait, when he won both trotters' events with horses from his stable. Biddy Parrish and Modern Girl. First Appearance In Canterbury. Sunny Morn, winner of tho Pioneer Handicap yesterday, was h'aving his first race since h<> entered O. E. Hooper's stable, at the conclusion of the Forbury Park Meeting, when ho was purchased by Mr F. E. Sutton, who, until recently, raced Real Girl. Yesterday's winner, a five-year-old gelding by Sungod from Fourpence, waa previously raced successfully in the South by E. Todd, who was also associated with Satin King and Nelson's Victory, in their earlier' careers. A Smart Miler. Roddy won the Telegraph Handicap with a lot in hand, and he Sid not give his driver, E. J. Smith, cause for worry at any stage. In recording 2min 8 1-5 sec for the mile, Roddy established figures that have not.'often been eclipsed in winning a handicap event. Showed Brilliance. Great Parrish raced much better yesterday than was generally expected.' He made a slight break at the end of a furlong, but he soon righted himself, and he was afterwards in second place for the greater part of the journey. From 36yds behind, and having to go round a large field,' it might appear that he was made too much use of early,' but he is such a hard puller that he has to be allowed to run along in the early stages, until he settles down. A Speedy Pacer. Manoeuvre showed more speed than any of the others in the Harewood Handicap, but her effort in catching the leaders, left her without any final dash, and she was well beaten at the finish. She broke at the end Of six furlongs, and with a round to go she had only Guy Denver, who was left badly—behind her. Down the back straight the last time she showed tremendous speed, and was in the leading four when the field turned for home. Efforts Rewarded. The New Brighton trainers, H. Frost and A. E. Bussell, although not present at the Canterbury Park fixture yesterday, were successful in their endeavours elsewhere, being rewarded with wins at Hastings and Greymouth respectively. Great Locanda, trained by Bussell, was making his first appearance in public at the Greymouth Meeting, and after being unplaced in his earlier race he won the Kaiata Handicap. The turn of luck will not be begrudged the New Brighton trainer, as he has not been favoured by fortune durine the present season.

CHEAP BAIL FARES. REDUCTION SOUGHT FOR RACEGOERS. INCREASING SOURCE OF REVENUE. A motion calling on the Government to allow patrons of racing and trotting meetings the same privileges of cheap railway travel as it allowed other sports clubs was passed by the Board of the New Zealand Trotting Association at itß meeting last night. Letters to this effect are to be sent to the Minister for Internal Affairs (the Hon.-A. Hamilton), the Minister for Railways (the Rt. Hon. G. -W. Forbes), and the Railway Board. The question' was brought up by Mr H. W. Kitchingham, who said that for club excursions from Christchurch to Greymouth or Greymouth to Christchurch the Railway Department charged only about 10s per head. The Corsair Bay Club, he believed, sent over about 600 or 700 people for 10s a head. Yet if people travelled from Christchurch to Greymouth for racing they had to pay 35s a head. Increase in Revenue. "The point is that if the Government would help the people to get over there it would be increasing its' revenue from the racecourse," continued Mr Kitchingham. "In the last five years the Government has- got £25,000 from the Greymouth Club in taxation. I think we ought to make strong representations to make the Government the error of its ways and give this assistance. Tho way things are going at the present time it looks as if before long we' won't have any horses to race." He moved that a letter incorporating what he had said should be sent to tho two Ministers concerned and to the Railway Board. ' - Mr J. R. McKenzie: It seems a most unfair >thing that one body should be able to get a cut like that while another. from which the Government gets considerable revenue, should have to pay as it does. Tho motion was carried unanimtmslv.

In tills issue thd Railway Department advertises particulars of tK© train arrangements arid the issue of special excursion tickets in connexion with the forthcoming trotting- meeting at Ashburton on Saturday, June lltli. A special train for the conveyance of horses has been scheduled at oppress train speed, and should prove rjopnlar with owners am! trainers a* horses avull be unloaded and reloaded ciose to tile racecourse.

CANTERBURY PARK T.C. ROLLO WINS CHIEF EVENT. CRANLEIGH SCORES IN ADVANCE HANDICAP. The Winter Meeting of the Cantorbury Park Trotting Club was opened yesterday in fine but cold weather. There was a good crowd of spectators, and some fine racing was provided for them, with some very close finishes and fast times. Investors began tho day well, as tho favourite, Modern Girl, won tho opening event and Symmetry, the publi'c choico in. the second race, was also successful. Two favourites, in Biddy Parrish and Sunny Morn, won later in the day. The principal event, the King George Handicap, was won'byMi' H. M. Allan's Rollo, who repeated his previous performance by registering the iine figures of 4min 20sec, the time in which he was successful in his previous start, tho James Memorial Handicap, at tho recent Forbury Park Meeting. Kollo appears to have definitely reached his best after several disappointments, and his victory, although he was only fourth favourite, was very popularly received. After the King George Handicap was decided a number of two-year-old classic aspirants were given a run over a mile and a quarter, the event creating much interest. Mr li. J. Eatliorno's Golden Direct showed most brilliance, but taking the field all round they were a select band of youngsters. A capital day's sport was enjoyed by all present, and the Meeting was concluded well up to time, there being no hitch in the day's arrangements. As was to be expected, thero was a decrease in the totalisator turnover, the amount of £l7,Sti7 10s being handled, as against last year's total 10s, tho shrinkage being £4837. The results aro as follows: — PROGRESSIVE HANDICAP, In harness. 0£ 125 sovs; second horse to recoivo 24 sovb, and third horso 12 sovs from stake. For unlioppled trotters. 3min 38sec class.

Modern G-irl was supported so heavily I Cor the Progressive Handicap that she [ started an even money favourite, First Wrack and Fairyland being the only

I others seriously considered. Supporters of the favourite were soon on good terms with themselves as_ Modern Girl was early in front, a position which she held to "the finish. Todd Bingen was the only one seriously to trouble licr. With six furlongs to go he was disputing the lead, but two furlongs further 011, in trying to take the lead, he broke, and Modern Girl was left with a commanding lead. Todd Bingen came stronglv again at the finish, but he failed by half a length to catch the favourite. Edith Voyage, who finished two lengths away in third place, was never further back than fourth, and sho owed her place to her solid trotting. Great Burton was always prominent, but although mixing her gait on several occasions, she had enough speed to finish fourth. Merce Bingen, from the back (GOvds), was fifth, pfter a very brilliant effort. It was her best race for a long time. 1' irst "\\raelv, who finished sixth, lost all chance at, the start by goinsr away pacinsr. but she showed a great burst of speed down the back the lust time. Sho could not sustain her effort, however. Radlev ran a fair race. nnrl_ he was responsible -for Hie best showing of the others. Fairyland and Peter Fleet lost their chances at the start. Another Favourite Scores.

.Investors were right on tli.e mark again in the Harcwood Handicap, as the first and second favourites, Symmetry and Aristotle, paid the dividend?, after a most exciting race. Guy Denver was very badly away and Lomar and Harold Denver lost ground. Donna Gulvallis immediately went to the front, followed by Silver Bingen, Adjuster, Symmetry," Great Thought, and Holly Bank. Adjuster went into second place down the back straight and with a round to go the. leaders were the same, with Tempo, Colorado, Princess Then, and Headlight most prominent of the others. Great Thought broke rounding the bend out of the straight. Down the back Symmetry looked < to bo in animpossiblo position. She' was in sixth place on the fence, behind Donna Gulvallis, Adjuster, Silver Bingen. Princess Then, and Colorado, but shortly afterwards the awaited opening was presented and she received her opportunity. Donna Gulvallis, Adjuster, Princess Thea, and Silver Bingen were practically in lino passing the mile post, where Aristotle, Manoeuvre, Symmetry, and Colorado were also within striking distance. in the straight Aristotle and Princess Thea were at the head of affairs and Colorado went to a tangle. Symmetry, coming with a strong run, was able to get up just in sme to secure tho verdict by a neck from Aristotle, Silver Bingen being a length and a half further back in third place. Tempo, Princess Thea, Harold Denver, Nimbus, and Holly Bank finished in a bunch just behind tho placed horses. Symmetry would have been unlucky to be beaten, but she seemed to be in a very awkward position with half a mile to go. However, when she received her chance sho was good enough to make most of it. Aristotle was Veaten only in the last few strides and Silver Bingen was in the fight all tho way. Nimbus ran a really good race from the back mark.

Hollo Repeats Forbury Performance. The King George Handicap brought about tho first defeat of the favourite for the day, Impromptu going under, by half a length to Eollo, the fourth fancy, with Lindbergh a length and a half further back, in third place. Both horses in the favourite bracket, Impromptu and Great Logan, broke badly in the first half furlong. Linkman, Muriel de Oro, ' Golden Pedro, Rea Shadow, Eollo, Lindbergh, Pluto, Impromptu, Carmel, Warplano, and Great, Logan were racing in that order at the end of three furlongs, and except that Pluto was in second place at the stand, the order was much tho same, but when six furlongs had been covered Pluto assumed command from Linkman—who broke approaching tho mile post and lost his position—Muriel de "bro, lied Shadow, Golden Pedro. Impromptu, and Carmel. With a circuit to go Pluto was two lengths in . front from Muriel de Oro, who was a length and a half in front of Impromptu, three lengths ahead of Red Shadow, at the head of the second bunch. Pluto retired when the half-mile post was reached, and Muriel de Oro and Impromptu were on terms, in front, with Red Shadow, Lindbergh, Golden Pedro, and Eollo following in that order. Into the straight Muriel de Oro held command from Impromptu, Red Shadow, Lindbergh, Eollo, on the outside, and Golden Pedro, on the rails. Impromptu took the lead a furlong from the post, but Eollo finished too strongly for him, and* he had the leader's measure a hundred yards from the post, and he went on to a convincing victory. Lindbergh could not come on in tho straight, and Red Shadow and Golden Pedro failed to put much dash into their finishing effort. Muriel de Oro had every chance. She priced a fine race until the straight was reached, but failed to stay from there on. The winner for the first time in his last six starts went away well, and he had made up a good portion of his handicap early. He was under a strong hold for a mile and a half, where R. B. Berry sent him in pursuit of the leaders. Rollo showed his usual great stamina to maintain his run to the post, and he recorded precisely the same time, 4min 20sec, that he registered at his previous start when he won at Forbury Park. Eollo's performance was meritorious, but Impromptu would probably have reversed places had it not been for his early mistake.

Small Field Provides Good Race. Biddy Parrish carried only six more tickets than the second choice, Gay Paree, with Todd Lonzia very few tickets below theso two in the Elevation Handicap. Todd Lonzia broke soon after the start and his clianc# was quickly extinguished. Gay Paree had taken charge at the end of two furlongs, and he was followed' by Dark McKinney, Biddy Parrish, All Peters, Ambition, and 'Groat Way. Great Way ran up into second place entering the back straight. At the mile, Gay Paree was showing out from Great Way, Dark McKinney, Biddy Parrish, All Peters, and Ambition, and Biddy Parrish took third place, with a circuit to go. Tho order was tho same *to the head of the final straight, where Biddy Parrish, on the outside, challenged. Gay Paree was the first beaten, and in an exciting finish Bidds Parrish got up in time to win by a neclc. Gay Paree was three lengths awKy third, and Dark McKinney next, followed by Ambition. -Although the field was small a very good race resulted. the three placed horses giving fine displays of trotting. The winner was having her first race since January, but ahe lived right up to her recent track form. Great Way made up his 84yds handicap very fast, and he alwavs looked dangerous. Gay Paree trotted" in splendid style, but he found the company just too good in the meantime. Ex-Southlander Wins. Another favourite prevailed in the Pioneer Handicap, when Sunny M.orn led the field home a three lengths' winner. Warpaint and Wilbur White, the next best backed, finished out of the money. Bay Admiral, Eolex, Chenaway, Travis, and Sunny Morn were the early leaders, but Great Parrish had run into second place at the end of half a mile. Bay Admiral, Great Parrish, and Sunny Morn were stijl in the van from ,a spread-out field, the most prominent of the others being Rolex. Chenaway.. Travis, and Editor, who had moved up fast. The last-named w-as in fourth

place passing the stands the last time, (Jhenaway, Travis, Bracken, .and !Relp being handy. Down the back the last timet Siinny Morn received an opening on the fence and he shot through to establish a lead from Bay Admiral and Great T'arrish, ivho "was beginning to feel the strain. Sunny Morn had a two lengths' lead into the straight,^-be-ing followed by Bay Admiral, Editor, Great Parrish, Bracken, and Travis Sunny Morn increased his lead to win by thret lengths, from Editor, who finished best of the others to beat Travis into third place, by half a length. Bracken, Great Parrish, Bay Admiral, and Warpaint were the next to finisli.

The winner was making his first appearance in his new owner's colours. Ho came from Southland with a good reputation and 'he had a number of shorter successes to his credit. Editor paced his best race for a long time, and Travis made a good showing. Warpaint was slowly away and was always a good distance back. She was closer at the finisli than at any stage. Mountain Ore and Wilbur White went away very slowly and they were always in the rear. Bay Admiral failed to stay after being in the, lead for three parts of, the jpurney. Cranleigh at Long Odds. Sunchild was the early leader from Avenger, Sir Guy, and Festival in the Advance Handicap, but at the stands Festival was in second placo followed by Sir Guy, Brentlight, Baron Bingen, Morning Sun, and Belinda. Hostess broke in^ front of the outside stand. The field* bunched turning into the back straight, where Sunchild still held command.. Gold Country moved up fast along the back, and he took tho lead just after the throe furlongs post had been passed. Brentlight, Baron Bingen, and Belinda were also prominent at this stage, but Barou Bingen broke, and Belinda suffered as a result. Cranleigh came through with a brilliant burst, and was in second place to Gold Country at the home bend, where Sir Guy, Festival, Sunchild, Jsimble Direct, and Morning Sun were close up. Halfway down the straight, Cranleigh was taken out from the fence, and he soon had the measure of the favourite, who stopped badly, to bo also beaten by a neck into third place by * Nimble Direct. Morning Sun, Brentlight, Sunchild, and Festival finished in that order, behind the placed horses. Cranleigh lived up to his season's consistent form, and he must be acclaimed one of the best pacers in commission at present. He won like the good horse he has proved himself to be. Nimble Direct finished very gamely, but tho favourite, Gold Country, made a poor attempt to withstand the challenges of Cranleigh and Nimble Direct.

Roddy Wins Decisively. The favourite for the Telegraph Handicap, Gold Tinge, could not do any better than finish, sixth, a position sho held practically throughout the race. Cannonball was first to show out, but he broke and Tempo was in front at the stands from Roddy and Pronto Bingen. Roddy went to the front going out of the straight, and he had a three lengths ' lead turning into the back. He was not further■ troubled and went.on to a ridiculously easy win by four lengths. Tempo, Pronto Bingen, Pearl Logan, Dusolina, Our George, aijd Gold Tinge wore the foremost of the remainder of the field racing down the •back, and Pronto Bingen, Dusolina, Tempo, Our George, and Rokena followed Roddy into the straight in that order. In a good race for second place Dusolina did best to beat Pronto Bingen by a neck, Tempo and Rokena being next. The winner did not make any race of it. He showed brilliant speed in his two-mile efforts at the Easter Meeting, and he returned a surprisingly good dividend in view of his previous form. Dusolina and Pronto Bingen were always contenders. Ravdus, Pearl Logan, and Peter Daunt were prominent early, but they failed to hold their places. Nona Bingen and Huon Voyage,, well backed horses, were never in the running. Tactless broke up' at the start, and stopped Roicole. Some Guy Returns to Form. John Jinks, favourite for the Au Revoir Handicap, went off smartly, but he broke before he had gone very far. Bingen. Patch set up such a lead in the first half-mile that it looked almost impossible for the others to catch lum, but he tired badly two furlougs from home, and he was beaten into eighth place. Some Guy, Country King, John Jinks, Awa-iti, arid Our Bird were Bingen Patch's closest attendants' at the end of a quarter of § mile, and going .along the back stretch the margin to the leader was decreased considerably, until Some Guy, Country King, Our Bird, and Wild Voyage were, within striking distance at th; straight entrance. Once iii line for home Bingen Hatch stopped ;ind Some Guy took command to run home a good winner by two leitgths from Our Bird, wh.o beat

Wild Voyage 'into third placa by half a length. Country King was fourth,. Warpaint fifth, and Travis and John Jinks next. Warpaint lost a lot of ground at tho start, and she "was afterwards at a great disadvantage. Some Guy, towards the end of last season, showed promise of making a a first-class performer, but since then he has raced very moderately, and this success was his first for a considerable period. Now that he has shown a return to Ms best form, better things may be expected. Our Bird raced surprisingly well, and Wild Voyage ran her usual good race with the weight on top. Country King had his chance, but he could not come on when wanted, and John Jinks raced just as unreliably as ever. Awa-iti did not complete the journey. \ TO-DAY'S PROGRAMME.

I w - Rennie was fined £2, for careless riding on Monetize. There was another surprise in the Second Division of the Jervois Handicap, when Puss Moth led all the way, and practically made a one-horse race of it at the finish. Seneschal and Irish Chieftain, who were always fairly well placed, ran good races to fill the minor places, ahead of Valueless, who finished on. Gay Court was unlucky in this race. Arcade, twelfth favourite in a field of fifteen, effected a big surprise in -winning the Penrose Hurdles from Full Measure and Fernden. The winner was a good way back early, but finished on strongly and won well. Full Measure was made a. lot ot' use of in the middle stages after getting away badly, and just failed in the run from the last fence, after being in front five furlongs from home. Patutahi, Cruaehan, Biform. and High Commissioner all fell. The Hurdles. The Landmark-Make Up bracket was best backed for the Great Northern Hurdles, and they acted right up to their best form in running first and second. Standfast, led early, but fell at the third fence, where Advance Camp also went over, and there were then throe out of the contest, as Callaniart had fallen at the second fence. After Standfast had fallen Luminary took up the running. At the stands the second time he and High Pitch were the leaders from Lucess, Make Up. Landmark, and Full Mark. Easterly fell at the fence in front of the members' stand, and Paddon refused. With a mile to go Full Mark made a forward move, and he assumed command along the back, to be three lengths clear at the cutting from High Pitch, with Make Up running up after a bad jump at the fence near the five furlongs post. Make Up joined Full Mark at the second to last fence, and led into the straight from Landmark, who had moved up smartly and Jligh Pitch and Full Mark. There was little between Make Up and Landmark at the last fence, and Landmark stayed on the better to score by a neck. Full Mark was four lengths away, thin) and High Pitch was fourth, just in' front of Claremore. Nukumai headed the others, who were all well beaten. Only for a bad jump he made, Make Up would probably have won. Landmark gavQ a fine exhibition, and was perfectly ridden by W. Kennie, who won the race year on Prince Lu and also in 1927 on Wedding March. Full Markmay have been closer if he had not been taken to the front so far from home. High Pitch went a fine race and should win soon, but Lucess and Luminary both failed to stay. Cornwall Handicap. An outsider, Protomint, attempted to win the Cornwall Handicap from end to end, but Sunny Sky, confidently ridden by 11. N.-Wiggins. beat him'home after following him into the straight. Little Doubt finished fairly well to get third, and Historic came from a long way back into fourth position. The next to finish wcro True Shaft and Gay Idea. • Protomint is back to form and may win a race at tlie Meeting, as he revels in soft going. True Shaft was closer at tho finislj than at any other stage, but may do better over a shorter distance. Maslioor was responsible for a surprise in winning the Hunt Club Hurdles from the favourite, Royal Visitor, and Thespis, who dead-heated for second. Haakon was a close fourth, and it was a good contest between tho first four.

Twice in Succession. Manawlienua was favourite for the Members' Handicap, and won tho race for the second year in succession. After beginning well, Manawhenua followed King Ford, Consent, and Eefresher into the straight, and then came on to win well from Tradesman, who finished fast and cut Refresher out of second place. Consent was a close fourth and ltoyal Bengal was fifth. Manawhenua won handsomely. Tradesman did well to get second after being badly -placed early. Refresher showed a glimpse of ~form and looked as if he would be improved by the race. Consent was closest to the winner half a furlong from the post and just weakened at the end. Royal Bengal, always well placed, ran a good race for a first attempt in open company. The Tiger was never dangerous. Chromadyne showed up at the turn but failed to finish on;

NOTES ON THE RACING. Second Success. French Fleet was sent out favourite for the Forburv Steeplechase, but at a much better price than his form warranted. He took change entering upon the last round, and led Heather Lad for the remainder of the journey. The latter stuck to his task well, but was outclassed over the last couple of furlongs. French Fleet was slowing down nearing the post. French Singer was a long way back. Graball, after jumping the first .four fences well, crashed at the next, a sod wall. He lay motionless for some time, but later recovered. An Unsatisfactory Race. The Silverstream Handicap, conlined to apprentice riders, drew a large field, and with many of the riders having their first ride in public, the majority of the runners had their chances extinguished either at the start or a,t some stage of tho race. Bold Brigand and Ilystride piloted the field to tho home turn, where Hystride took charge and led into the straight from Bold Brigand, Sailing Home, Traylavah, and Gonsono. Hystrido was not troubled to win by two lengths from Sailing Home, with a similar gap to Gonsono. Then camo -Colonel Cygnus, All Smiles, and TrayM'vah. this was the winner's first return since coming south, and evidently he appreciates a soft track. His task was made much easier by the poor handling of some of the others. Colonel Cygnus was one of these victims. His rider failed to get him out when the barrier lifted and lie lost a lot of ground, while the horse was steered into au unfavourable position when making a promising effort in the straight. Cantered Home. Fast Passage, who was very leniently treated in the Birthday Handicap, was sent out a good favourite, but strong support for three other contestants made her price very satisfactory. Any doubt about her ability to handle soft going was quickly dispelled, as she went to the front at the end of half a mile, and from then on was never in any danger, ultimately being slowed down to a cauter nearing the ppst. Rational JT. was always close up, and followed her into the straight, and al though he was able to hold off the remainder he was outclassed bjr the win-

ner< Salmo Salar made a fast run from the rear into third place rounding the far turn, and remained there to tho post. Water Power, King Balboa, and Hounslow were tailed off. Fast Passago recorded 0110 of the easiest wins at the meeting, and she was not asked to gallop over the last two furlongs. Rational 11. stayed on better than on the first day, and paid much more than the winner. liounslow was never in a likely position, and did not seem able to handle the going. A Popular Win. In spite of the fact that there were only five starters in the Otago Hurdles, and that the favourite, Morena, dropped his rider through striking the first fence, the contest over the last furlong aroused much excitement. Captain's Gift led after crossing the intial jump, and although Membo and Royal Limond ran up to him at different stages, he outjumped them, and had a clear advantage from the pair going to the last fence, it was not until the run home was tackled' that he struck danger, both Royal Limond and Mcmbo closing on him inside the distance. In a punishing finish Royal Limond got in the deciding stride to beat Captain's Gift by a short neck, with Membo a neck away. The Sun did not leave the mark until the others were well on the way, and was a furlong back at the finish. Royal Limond's success was popularly received, as his rider, 11. IJeale, has had some trying tasks with liirn both in schooling tasks and in races, and his winning fee was well earned. There was an element of luck probably in the win, as Morena had only to race up to his first day's form to havo won, while Membo would have been more dangerous but for striking the two fences in the last halt-mile. Another Runaway Victory. A. Eastwood had almost as easy a win on Master Anomaly, in the open sprint, as he experienced on Fast I'assage. His mount, was in front practically throughout, and had a useful lead from Fair Weather and Inevitable. Entering the straight he increased his advantage and was being eased up to win by five lengths from Fair Weather, with a bigger gap to Inevitable. A 1 .Tolson, Lochlaggan, and First Money followed at intervals. Nylotls Wins Steeplechase. Deportment, with J. Kerr in the saddle, was again installed favourite in the Wingatui Steeplechase, but a few faulty jumps, and his habit of running down his fences once more settled Lis chance. He was the leader for the first circuit, but early in the home round was joined by Matu, who jumped to the front half a mile from home, and had a commanding lead entering tho straight. He lauded over tho last fence well clear of Nylotis and Umtali, but stopped badly inside the distance, and Nylotis soon had his mea- | sure, while TJmtali also headed him. ' Snowfall, jumping faultlessly through- j out, ran a good race for one half the j journey, but then gradually drifted to finish well back. j A Dead Heat. Last March and Waiwene disputed the lead throughout the June/ield Handicap, and the judge was unable to Hepare them at the finish. Waiwene had a slight advantage entering the straight, but Last March drew level with her inside the distance, and they raced nock and neck for the remainder of the journey, both horses and riders being sorely distressed. Thev were locked together crossing the line. The remainder of the field were out of tho picture from the distance-post, the third horse, Traylavuh, being over two lengths nway, with Brown Pearl, Kerbsido, and 'Monastic next. Lord Buclian, ridden by L. J. Ellis, fell three furlongs from home, but neither was hurt. The dead-heaters stopped almost to a walk in the last few strides.

Waiwene appeared an if she would iiavo won if her light-weight rider hail been able to give her more assistance ill tlib last fifty yards. The second choice. N'ggerhcad, was first to show out, l.ut did not go far, as lie made a very poor attempt to handle the going, anil was nearly in last place with half the journey gone. Monastic ran another good raec after being one of the last to leave ; the mark. Unusual Judgment. The public were right 011 the mark, in summing up the field for the concluding event, the .Invcrmay Handibap, as seven starters finished in the order in which they were supported. Winsome Hind worked her way to the front rounding the far turn, anil had a useful lead from Pakitere, Rascal, and Taboo, into the straight. The two last-named made forward moves in the run home, but the favourite was never in danger of being overhauled and won with ease from Taboo, who had Rascal's measure in the last furlong. Pakitere weakened into fourth place, after having every chance, while Miss Mercia finished well back without being prominent over the last half-mile. ACCEPTANCES FOR TO-DAY.

White Doe was three lengths back, a nose ahead of Tariff. Then came J'ael. Gratton was last. June Trot. Lorelei,, La Binkie, Great Locanda, and Allanora were first to move. Coming into the straight La Binkie was in command from Lorelei, Great Locanda, and Dawn Sonoma. The last-named ran j out wide on the turn and lost a promising position leaving the straight, where Binscarth drew up with the leaders. Along tho back Allanora and Chancellor Boy improved their positions, the latter gathering up the leaders entering the straight where La Binkie and Great Locanda compounded. In a good finish Chancellor Boy, finishing on, won by a length from Lorelei, who, driven out, stalled off a challenge by Binscarth by a neck. Allanora was fourth, Dark Denver fifth, and Great Locanda last. A Good Eace. The Grandstand Handicap provided an interesting race. The early leaders were Kavine, Giggleswick, Eanelagh, CoomaSsie, and Eaton Hall. These positions were maintained passing the stand, but Eaton Hall displaced Giggleswick going out of tho straight. At the back Bavine was still in charge from Eanelagh, Giggleswick, and Eaton Hall, with the rest strung out. Straightened up for home Eanelagh was in charge and looked like justifying the public Confidence, but compounded to a strong I challenge from Coomassie, who went on to win by half a length in a punishi: g finish. Bavino was a neck away third. Then came Giggleswick, Eaton Hall, and Earthquake. Thursby whipped in the field. , Favourite Left at Post. Awamutu, a warm favourite for the j Flying Handicap, was left at the post and took no part in the race. After a dela. caused by New Boy, the field was | dispatched to an even start. Mataa soon took charge and was never headed, winning with ease by eight lengths from Quinola, who, after many disappointments, ran a good race and cut New Boy out of second money by two lengths. Full Crop was fourth, Subdivision fifth, and Quilfire last. Heads Between Three. The Winter Hack Handicap provided the best finish of the day, heads separating the placed horses, with the others all close up. Waraloon led from tho barrier to the head of the straight from Homecoming, Knocklong, Solvear, and Fortalice, where Homecoming took I charge. In a ding dong finish Fortalice I gradually worked forward to get his head in front on the post from Homecoming and Waraloon, with Knocklong close up fourth. Then came Jael and Solvear. A Close Contest. In the Kaita Trot Kokona led from the start to the straight from Great Locanda, Lorelei, and Sissisox. At the back Kokona, Lorelei, and Great Locanda were clear of Chancellor Boy, Binscarth, und Dillonetic.
