Hystride ran another good race in the Aldworth Handicap at Wingatui on Saturday, but the journey settled him. Prior to the race he was sold to Mr J. A. Smaill, of Dunedin, and will be trained at Wingatui by him. Glentruin Dead. The English-bred mare Glentruin, who was considered one of the best mares ' ever raced in New Zealand, died at Otautau on Friday. She was retired to the stud in 1926, and her first production was Lochlaggau, while Mr A. Chisholm has a. yearling sister to that filly. Successful Mating. The success of Waterline and Past Passage, both by The Ace from Sailor's Hope, has emphasised the value of that mating, and Sir Charles Clifford has an idea of sending Sailor's Hope to that sire this next season.. The Ace was sold ffom Stonyhurst to go to Opotiki in tho Bav of Plenty, and transport would be a difficult matter, but if suitable arrangements can be made, the mare will be sent up. Since producing Fast Passage, Sailor's Hope has had two foals to Day Comet. The first of these had to be destroyed following an injury while being handled a, few months back, and the second, a yearling, will be sent down from Stonyhurst this week to be trained by H. and A. Cutts. This defunct youngster was considered the best looking of the mare's progeny, while the yearling is also very attractive, both in appearance and conformation. For the Market. Straighteonrso failed in the going at Wingatui on Saturday, and as ho is still suffering from his injured knee, in which a small bone was broken, it is probable he will bo retired from racing. His owner would have used him as £v sire/but for having Winning Hit, his half-brother at Stonyhurst, and Htraightcourse wilt bo placed on the market. A. 3>Uaj>pointmeht. Hounslow ran badly in his. two raves at Dunedin; and did not seoni able to raise a gallop in either. Owing to soreness which has usually affeeted him, it wsa thought that he required soft ground to be seen to advantage, but on last week's form it is certain ho is not partial to going like that provided by the Wingatui track. Trip. The Greymoutn-trained Miss Mercia looked well when paraded at Wingatui, but raced very poorly. She has evidently lost- all form, and ■will probably be retired to the stud this year.

A Sympathetic Hearing. -A novel line of defence was advanced at" an enquiry (it Wingalui on Saturday into interference met vrith by Traylavah in the Domain 'Handicap. Last '-March was following Kerbside, three furlongs from home, and Traylavah moved, up on the outside of him. A. E. DitlUtuW, Tider of Last March, fearing that he would be pocketed, steered hia mount across Traylavah, and sent Mdi back. Pidham, in explaining his action fullv to the stewards, considered that he was justified in crossing from the inside to the outside, but was debarred by the Eules from crossing from the outside to the rails. Ho stated that throughout his career as a rider he was under this impression and in spite of his mistaken idea being exploded by the 1 committee, he was not convinced that ho committed an illegal and dangerous act. After hearing other oyidonce, the conv mittee found that aa tho interference took place so far from tho finish, they were not satisfied that the result was affected, aid therefore would not alter the judge's placings, but susponded Bidham from riding for one month, Tho committee added that they inflicted a light sentence because of Pidham's apparent misconception of the rules regarding crossing, A Pleasing Change. Red Heckle made a ereditublo effort in the King George Handicap; at the Duueclis Meeting on Saturday, and gava evidence, that tho first day's hard raeo had not effected him, 4s would have been the ease twelve months ago. Tho heavy going was responsible for his failure to return a dividend, but when better conditions are in evidence, ho will have to be taken into account for some of the big winter handicaps. '* interesting Foal. Tho Demosthenes marc, Star Lady, dam of Star Stranger and Star God has running with her at Mr J. porter's stud at Akaroa an attractive-looking colt by Eaid, and will visit Martarma next term. Mr Porter bought this mare at Trenthani for 410 guineas.

More for Melbourne. Captain's Gift's displays at Wingatui exemplified his brilliance (over hurdles and there is no doubt he is one of the best hurdlers seen out for some time. His owner-trainer, D. P. Wilson, decided on Saturday to complete arrangements for the trip to Melbourne, and he will leave in a fortnight's time with Captain's Gift, Granado, and Kerbside. W. Cooper -will accompany them to do the riding, and Mr J, Richardson will also make the trip. Bright Prospects. Snowfall was not produced at Wingatui on Saturday, and his next appearance may be made at the forthcoming Meeting at Washdyke. Ho is undoubtedly in splendid order, in view of more important engagements later, and at this stage his prospects of winning his second successive Grand National Steeplechase look very favourable. Ho will be ridden by A. E. Ellis. TROTTING NOTES. Reminders. Acceptances for the Ashburton T.C.'s Winter Meeting close at 8 p.m. tomorrow. Nominations for the Auckland T.C.'s Winter Meeting close at u p.m. next Friday. At the same time entries for the Great Northern Trotting Derby, of 1933, will be taken. Will Reach High-class. Biddy Parrish, a double winner lit the Canterbury Park Trotting Club's Winter Meeting, on recent form seems destined to reach a high place in the ranks of tho uhhoppled brigade. She is now a six-year-old and as she had her first race only last season, sho has been given every opportunity to show her best. Her only fault is that sho cannot go away fast, and in her two recent successes she practically wttlked off the mark. However, she has improved a great deal in this direction as formerly she was apt to mix her gait at tho start of a race. *• Another Good Ttotter. Great Way is another trotter, who has become much more solid. After winning on the first day of the Easter Meeting it was thought that he had settled down to race more solidly, but on the second day ho performed poorly again. At Addington last, week he trotted two very fine races to fill second place on each occasion, and ho should bo seen figuring prominently in tho big events for trotters early 'in the approaching season.

Winning Amounts. Owners -winning upwards of iiluo tit. the recent Canterbury Park iixtivre were: Messrs S., A. Edwards £350; li. J. Barton £270; H. M. Allan £2-15; K. Frost £210; B. R. Revoll £210; C. P. Cameron £140; M. 0. Ho ran £130; A. Quigley £124; E. 0, McPermott £105; 1\ E. Sutton £lO5, ant] T. Smith £lO5. Successful Tracers, W. ,r. Tomltinson ami R. B. Berry, with three wins each, wore the must successful trainers at the Canterbury Park fixture. M. B, Edwards and L. Frost, with two. oatdi, were next on tlic list, and the following trained one winner: J, Behrns, E. C. Mcßermott, O. E. Hooper, E. J. Smith, C. S. Bonald, and P. U. Holmes. Brlviiig honours wore apportioned alike, with, the exception that M. Holmes drove the winner trained by J, Behrns. Axworthy Blood. - A notable feature of ihe recent nature at Aldington was the way in which representatives of the Axworthy Jinu raced, as no fewer than six of ti*e six'. teen races fell to their lot. Cranleigh (2), Biddy Parrish (S), am! Bomo Guy (2) were the winning represontative.s Cranlejgh tyaoea to Axworthy tlij-ongh Travis Axworthy and Billon Axworthy; Biddy Parrish through 0«y Parrisli and Gny Axworthy, and Some' Guv through Real Guy and. Guy Axworthy. Dispersal Sale.

Attention is drawn" to the. fact that. to-day at 1 p.m., Pyne, Gould, Guinness. Lad,, will conducts sale of Mr A. liendriksen's trotting stack, lit Uulswell. Included in the lots to bo submitted aro tho two imported stallions, Kuril Guy and Truman Direct. The former's stock raced well at the recent Addingtpn fixture, Some Guy winniug a double and Sir Guy nlso being successful, thereby placing Keal Guy on equal terror with Wrack and Guy Parriah as the winning sires at the Meeting. Gf«atly Improved Pacer. On his form shown during the past few mouths there is little doubt that Cranleigh will be a. contender in the Dominion's biggest handicap races next, season. He is a moat versatile performer, being good>t any distance. Since he raced unplaced, at the Metropolitan T.C.'s Midsummer Meeting ho has not been out of the money, a rare record of consistency. After running second to Impromptu, at Wellington early in March, he won the Timavu Cup, and followed this up by another win on the first day of- the Easter Meeting at Addington. On tho second day of the same Meeting he finished second to Satin King. His next start was in tho Ritchie Memorial Handicap, at Forbury Parle, which he won, and he wis twice placed third on the second day of that Meeting. His next outings were at the Canterbury Park Meeting just concluded, where he won a race each day, making his record five wins, two seconds, and two thirds in his last nine starts. To M. B. Edwards is due the credit of hav- , ing improved only a fair class port former to the high-class pacer ho is I to-dav.

A Jhirn of Luck. The New Brighton trainer, L. Frost, had a turn of Fortune's Wheel, which did not come out of plaoe, at the Canterbury Park fixture. Ho was seen to great advantage in the saddle, when steering Some Guy homo to victory twice, and he was twice in the money with his brother's representative, Dusolina. Another of his own team, in Morrison, raced quite promisingly on Saturday. RACING IN ENGLAND. THE OAKS STAKES. (UKMED PBBSJ ASSQCUTIOK—ST IMCTBIO TELEQBAPH—COPYRIGHT.) _ „ .

CANTERBURY PARK T.C. CRANLEIGH WINS HANDICAP. The Canterbury Park Trotting Club concluded its Winter Meeting at Addington on Saturday in fine but very cold weather. Owing to tho North v. South Island football match, the attendance was only fair. As on tho first day, the track was in excellent order p,n'd some very interesting,racing was provided, A feature of the Meeting was the consistent form shown throughout, three of the first day's winners, Cranleigh, Biddy Parrish, and Some Guy being successful agaiu on Saturday; while Colorado won two races on the same day. A fact appreciated by patrons of the club was that for those people interested in the progress of the big match at Lancaster Park, a receiving set was installed on tho course to pick up the broadcast from the lark. Tho sum of £14,007 10s was put through tho totalisator as against £•21297 on tho corresponding day last vea'r making a total of £81,875 for the Si" days, .? compared with £44 001 10. last year, a decrease ot jus. The secretary, Mr A. I. Rattray, and his assistants efficiently handled the Meeting, which went all without a hitch. Results:

NOTES ON THE RACING. First Wrack Scores. First "Wrack was basked down to little better thau oven money for the Yaldhurst Handicap, aud won narrowly, having only a head to spare at the finish. First AYrack was actually smartest to begin, but before going far Edith Voyage assumed command. First Wrack made a slight skip just inside two furlongs, losing a couple of lengths, and down the back straight JSdith Voyage, Todd Bingen, Great Amazon, and Meree Bingen were in front of her. There was not much change during tho nest circuit, but three furlongs from home the favourite was in third place, behind Edith Voyage and Todd Bingen. Edith Voyage- broke a furlong from the lost, and although Todd Bingen challenged very strongly, First Wrack held on to win by the narrowest of margins. Edith Voyage filled third place, followed by Great Amazon, Dark McKinney, and Radley, First Wrack, on this occasion, did ■■ not meet with interference and was

always one of the front division. Edith Voyage was in front most of the way, but a break spoiled her chance, although both First Wrack and Todd Bingen were overhauling her at the time. The last named did not put a foot wrong, and he was unlucky to have met such a good one as the winner. Great Amazon and Dark McKinney wero always in the running. Eadley trotted well all the way, but failed to stay. Modern Girl, Peter Fashion, Fairyland, and King's Voyage broke at the start and their chances were extinguished. Merce Bingen began fast and was soon in fourth place, but she tired at the end of a mile and a half.

Baokera on tho M&rk. The investors were correct in their summing up of the Peninsula Handicap held as the first choice, the ColoradoTempo bracket, paid tho dividend. Aristotle and Wrecker were best backed of the others. Guy Denver and Silver Bingen went away badly, and it was not long before Colorado, who began very smartly, was in fourth place to Donna Gulval'lis, Holly Bank, and Manoeuvre, Banffshire Lad having made a break in the first furlong. Holly Bank was in front going along the back, and he had as his nearest attendants Mancnuvre, Donna Gulvallis, Colorado, and Wrecker, the last-named being boxed in on thefence. The leading division was the same until the three furlongs post was reached, Donna Gulvallis retiring at this stage. Holly Bank stopped very quickly once tho straight was reached, and Colorado challenged Manoeuvre. He soon had her measure, and went on to register a comfortable victory. Wrecker, who was fifth at the home bend, did not receive an opening until well down the straight, but it is doubtful if ho would have extended Colorado. He was not troubled to gain second place. Kreislcr, who had not been favourably placed in'the earlier running, came strongly at the finish to worry Manoeuvre out of third money. Princess Thea also came with a belated run to be fifth, and then came Nona Bingen and Silver Bingen. Aristotle was always a good way back, but when he did have a chance to improve in the last part he met with interference. Colorado was always going like a winner, and he was much more solid over the final furlong than he was the first day. Wrecker raced very solidly, and Kreislcr surprised by his forward running. Manosuvre had every chance, but she did not stay on. Princess Thea and Xona Bingen finished very well from behind. Silver Bingen lost so much by -galloping away that he was never afterwards in a striking position.

Crsmleigji Again. I Tho race for tho Papurua Handicap hud not been long in progress when it I would be seen that tho favourite, Cranleigh, would have a l>i{? say in tho decision. At the end of half a mile lie was in sixth place. Araehne and Colonial Boy being in front from AVraekeen and Nimble Direct at this stage, while Uillon Logan, Delightful, and Wat-plane were the most prominent of the others. At the stands, with a round to go, I'ltito. Milo Miuto, and Bed .Shadow were just behind the leading buueh, and a little further on Impromptu moved up to be in iifth place at the half-mile, and in front three furlongs from home. Crauleigh was in second place to him coming round the last bend, and Nimble Direct was showing tho way to Pluto, Sunny Bob, and Dillon Logan. They entered the straight in this order, but Crauleigli, without much apparent effort, headed Impromptu and he was not further troubled to win. Impromptu had to be driven right out to secure second money, as Grand Canyon finished very strongly j in the straight and was within a length of the tiring Impromptu at the post. Kimble Direct, Muriel do Oro. Sunny

Bob. and Dillon Logan wero the next to finish. . - Cranleigh definitely proved Lis superiority over the concluding stages, and he must be acclaimed one of the best pacers in commission. Impromptu could not carry on when tackled by Cranleigh, and rather disappointed by stopping so badlv. Grand Canyon must be credited with a very good effort, as he came from nowhere to gain the minor prize. Nimble Direct, in spito of tho fact that he is now in the veteran stage, paced a really fine race. Muriel de Oro was closer at the iinish than at any part of the race. .Red Shadow showed a couple of brilliant bursts of speed, but lie was not seen on the last half mile. John Noble lost a good deal of ground at tho start, and Wraekler broke badly. Colonial Boy and Araehue, who were m tho lead for a mile and a half, stopped quickly after that, and Wrackceti, who had been in the leading half-dozen lor, three parts of tho journey, failed to stay.

Biddy Parrish Succeeds. Notwithstanding his poor form of the first dav Todd Lynzia carried the public's confidence in the Aviation Handicap, Biddy Parrish and Gay Puree being next in demand. The favourite trotted a much better race on this occasion and he was soon in second place to Gay Paree. With a circuit to go Biddy Parrish had taken up third position and soon after passing the halt mile post Great Way raced into fourth, place. Gay Puree capitulated at the home turn and Biddy Punish challenged Todd Lonziu. No sooner had she accounted for tho colt when Great Way put in his claim. .In an exciting race to the post she was equal to her task of holding Great Way off by . ],:l i u a ; l length. Todd Lonzia tinished third, ht. Petrox fourth, Great Nelson fifth, and Gav Paree sixth. The winner, benefited by her first day's race, was seen in an attractive light and went i l-ssee faster than on tho first day. She was not m real danger of defeat at any part ol the race. Great Way trotted another very honest race and 'ho now belongs to the select circle of trotters who have broken diniit ,'iOsec, his time in this raco being 4min 2flsec Ho was driven a waiting race and was not asked to go until the last half mile was entered upon. Todd Lonzia did not make a mistake, but he found the company tor. strong for him. fc't. Petrox showed sjieed, but several breaks probably cost him some of the money. Great Nelson galloped away from the barrier and He lost ground before settling down. AH Peters and Ambition did not stay and New Metford, when showing speed along the back the last, time, broke. Gay Paree stopped to a walk and Wall broke soon after a furlong had been covered , and drifted to the rear.

Colorado's Second Win. Penalised three seconds for his earlier win, Colorado, bracketed with Tempo, was onlv fourth choice in tho betting for the 'Ellesmere Handicap, for which Ximbus was made a warm selection from Travis and Cold Tinge, The favourite, who lost ground soon after the start,'did not pace kindly and never looked like a winner. After Tempo hail made the running for a round Gold Tinge secured the lead, followed Lv Tempo, War Paint, Gun lire. Hokena, and .Mountain Ore. Passing the stands fur the last time Mountain Ore was followed by Wur Pttini, Aleron, Tempo, Kokena,~Guv Denver, Travis, Nimbus, Colorado, and Lifebuoy, the last-named being hopelessly out of it. Gunfire was just showing clear from Gold Tinge at the half mile, hut the latter tired and lUouniain Oro and Travis followed (4unfiro into the straight. Colorado unwound it terrific run outside two or three horses down the back straight to be in fourth place, just ahead of Aleron,

An Exciting Tinish. *The Stewards' Handicap was productive of a most exciting finish, the posit oi.a changing frequently 1.1 the run ihe post. Great Parrish, Editor, and ho Sir l Guy-Morning Sun-Liudburgh bracket carried the most money. Somerby and Editor made all tho pace and were in first and second positions when the post was in sight, at which stage Brcntlight, Sir Guy, Morrison Great Parrish Cyone, and Golden Pedro were most prominent of the others, with Lindburgh coining fast round the outside of the field. Editor was first to weaken and then Somerby was headed Ijv Brcntlight, who was making a hold bid for victorv when Sir Guy and then Lindbergh Hashed down upon him. In ■1 desperate finish Lindbergh, who was hanging in badly over the last fifty yards, just -went under to bir Guy by •1 neck, with Brcntlight a length away. In a bunch right up with the placed horses were Editor, Somerby, Great Parrish, Ovone, Sunchild, and Morrison. Sir Guy was at no stage of the race •further back than fourth and when asked for u final effort responded in the gamest manner. It was his first success in approximately eighteen months. Always a. speedy pacer, he has seldom been'seen in such a generous mood as on this occasion. Lindbergh gave of his best. He had a great deal of ground to make up over the last three furlongs, and the big field did not aid him. It was a splendid Brcntlight, reliable pony that he is, seems destined alwavs to bo frowned upon by Fortune. He races well but without much luck, j Morning Sun, Wrackeen, Playwavc, and Avenger lost their chances at the start and Tfaydus was badly away. Great Parrish was not so prominent as on tho first day but he ran a vers- fair iitt-e. Cyone finish well, but ._Golden Pedro did not put much heart into his i final run.

Some Guy Wilis Saddle Event. Oh tlie time basis Roddy, -who had gone 2min 8 l-sscc in -winning on the first day. looked the pick of the Railway Handicap field from a 2min 14sec mark, and lie was backed accordingly. The .Nona Bingen-John Jinks bracket and Awa-iti were best supported of the others, but the public were astray, as the winner turned up in Some Guy, the fourth fancy. Pearl Logan and Princess Thea lost ground at the start, and Bingen Patch did not go at all. Salient, whoso gear broke in front of the stands, was pulled up. Country King led War Paint and Awa-iti, who had made a smart run round the turn out of the straight, past the half mile, with John Jinks, Travis, Nona Bingen, and Some Guy in close attendance. Awa-iti hit the front leaving the back straight and led for home from Hoddy, who had come with a strong burst from the three furlongs post, John Jinks, Country King, Some Guy, and Nona Bingen.

J lie llutiedin Jockey L'lub's Winter .Meeting was concluded to-day, under lavourable climatic conditions, but the grounds and track were soft as .1 reMilt of the previous day's rain. In spite ot the heavy going the racing was very interesting and the jumping events provided spectacular displays. Form worked out exceptionally well, and investors enjoyed a profitable day. Speculation, in consequence, was fairly well maintained, the sum of £10,805 being handled as against £12,221 011 the corresponding day last year.

NOTES ON THE RACING. His Third Success. From-li Fleet was sent <.ut ;i little less than even money favourite in :i pool totalling £245, for the Tahuiui Hack and Hunters' Steeplechase, anil his task was again easy. He thus established the unusual feat of winning three steeplechases at a Meeting. French Singer showed improvement by leading French Fleet throughout the first circuit, but the latter headed him two fences from home, and went on to win comfortably from Graball, wlto was several lengths in the rear at the halfmile post, and put up an attractive effort over the last couple of furlongs. Heather l,ad struggled on into third place, and French Singer was some distance in the rear. French Fleet seemed to improve with racing, and is undoubtedly made of tlie right material. Jle will be brought. up from Invercargill for the Grand National Meeting, and should collect some more money. Graball jumped better, but somewhat wild, and his finishing run was very impressive. Heather Lad made a promising move up to French Fleet, going to the last fence, but his effort was not long sustained.

High-Class Importation. The bracketed pair, Colonel Cygnus and Silver Salver carried over a third of the »aehino total in the Aldworth Handicap, and the former recorded another very easy win. Silver .Salver piloted the" field after half the journey had been covered and led into the straight from Ballance, Colonel Cygnus, Hystride, and Sailing Home. Inside the distance, Colonel Cygnus shot, to the front and won easing up by two lengths from Sailing Home, who finished on to beat Ballance and Silver Salver comfortably. Hystride beaded the remainder. Colonel Cygnus outclassed the field, and gives indication of turning out a high-class winner. Fast Passage Again. The smallest dividend at W'iiigutui for a long time was returned by Fast Passage, who was bracketed with Straightcourse, in the King George Handicap. The Chokebore filly had the race won after a furlong had been covered. She piloted Rational 11. and Straightcourse into the straight, and when Rational 11. and later Red Heckle made attempts to get up to her she drew away from them and won without any apparent effort. Rational .If. and Red Heckle had a stubborn fight for second money, the former getting it by a head. There was then a big gap to King Balboa and Red Racer, with Straiglitcourse in last place. Fast Passage under her handy impost was not asked to do her best over the concluding stages. She is evidently partial to soft going and should do well during the winter. Rational U. ran another solid race, and was unfortunate in encountering Fast Passage twice, in eaeh case with the weights very much iii favour of the latter. Red Heckle's display was very satisfactory. He drifted slightly rounding the far turn and was last into the straight, but put in a strong finishing run. The field was bunched for the greater part of the journey, but was spread out in the last furlong. A Spectacular Event. The Greenfield Hurdle Handicap provided a splendid display of jumping by Captain's Gift and Morena. who disputed the Jead from the first fence. They raced abreast for half a mile. Morena then forged to the front, but at the next fence Captain's Gift outjumped him and held bis rival safe for the remainder of the journey. Morena stuck to his task well for a novice, but was up against a too powerful proposition in the winner, who can be classed as the best hurdler in the South Tsland. Membo, Royal Limond. and Rameses were never within reach of the leaders, while The Sun, after dwelling at the art, finished a furlong in the rear. Favourite Fails. Mount Boa was a pronounced favourite for the Empire Handicap, but made a very bad showing and was the last to finish. Fair Weather and First Money carried the field along after two furlongs had been covered, and the former bad a slight advantage from First Money entering the straight, with a gap to Gold Pit. Fair Weather drew away in the straight and was not troubled to beat Gold Pit, who headed First Money a hundred yards from the post, while Taboo, with a characteristic finishing effort, got to within a length of Gold Pit. First Money was fourth and was followed by Crubenmore, Enwood, and Taku Tama.

Tito winner. :i Itttlf-brotlier to Tray I Bond, was ;i consistent perfiriner durj ing tlio greeting, willt one win and. two second i)!ttcings. Gold Pit rail'her best nice for some time mid finished on well. | Taboo is gradually getting back into j form and will have to be more seriously reckoned with later in the winter. Mount Boa's performance was hard to account for. He was hard ridden throughout, but did not seem able to muster up any of his proved pace, and was evidently suffering from the effects of li is previous races. Valves Wins. The withdrawal of Snowfall, Umtali, and Deportment left only four runners for the Dunedin Steeplechase, Valves being made a slightly better favourite than Nvlotis, and the pair fought out the finish. Valves went to the front from the start and, except for The Babe having temporary control front him commencing the last round, he was always in the van. lie was well clear of Nvlotis and Matu at the concluding fence, but had a close call over the last hundred yards as a result of a belated finishing run by Nvlotis, and was all out to win by less than a length. Matu, who was close up entering the straight, drifted in the run home and was about ten lengths away, with The Babe tailed off. The last-named ran a good race, losing ground at some of the fences and making it up again on the flat, but he was done with two furlongs from home. Valves gave a clean display, but is only a useful plodder and is not likely to win in good company. Consistent Performer. The best finish of the day was staged in the Domain Handicap between Last March, Kerbside, and Traylavah, who comprised the leading division throughout. Kerbside had a length's advantage from Last March entering the straight, with Traylavah, Thornton, and Monastic in close attendance. Last March gradually drew up to Kerbside after passing the distance post, and tho pair were engaged in a gruelling finish when Traylavah joined in. The trio crossed the line in a bunch, Last March securing the verdict by a neck, with Traylavah half a length away. The fourth horse, Monastic, was over three lengths back, and then came Prince Tractor and Solanau. Last March, who is now trained by his rider, A. E. Didham, has developed into a solid performer, his three starts at the Meeting resulting in two wins and a dead-heat, lie, was much better handled than Kerbside, who also appeared to be unlucky in stumbling Hearing the post. Traylavah did well to get up, as lie lost about three lengths through being crossed by Last March at the home turn. Monastic ran well enough to suggest that with a little better treatment, he would have taken part in the final tussle. Outsider Wins Final. The only two-figurei dividend of the three days' Meeting was recorded in the Farewell Handicap, the littlefancied Ooiisono winning very easily. lie worked his way to the front half o mile from home anil increasing his advantage as the race progressed wa« well clear of Witter Power, IJascal, Inevitable, and Pakitere entering the straight. Water Power threw out a challenge commencing the run home, i and Koyai Saxon put in a solid finish- j ing run, but neither had any chance with the leader, who had three lengths j to spare at the finish, while Water \ Power lasted long enough to stall off Koyal Saxon. Taboo wu.s close up j fourth in front of Kaseal and Miss ] Mo re iu. j t'onsono was in strong demand in I each of his previous races at the .Meet- j ing, and in spite of filling third place on Friday he evidently lost most of his southern following. Water Power ran a creditable race and will do her owner good service this winter. Uoyal Saxon j was given every chance from a weight viewpoint, and would have been more dangerous if he had made his run earlier. Taboo was again in evidence at the right end, while Uascal showed further improvement by acting as pacemaker for the first half of the journey. .Miss Mercia gave trouble at the post and missed the jump-out. occupying last place until the last furlong. Winsome Hind was one of the leaders rounding the home turn, but was done with soon after reaching the straight.

[THE PRESS Special Service.] Keen racing was featured in the second day of the Auckland Racing Club's Winter Meeting at Ellerslie to-day, and the favourites fared fairly well, three winning, and another running second. Two of the first day winners—Royal Gallant, and .Sunny Sky—scored again, Royal Gallant returning another doublefigure dividend, while Sunny Sky made a better return than in the Cornwall Handicap. Town Beauty was a solid favourite for the Hunt Club Cup, and he led over the last two miles to win handsomely from Royal Visitor, who ran another good race. Haakon finished on to get third, but the- others were well beaten. Royal Gallant just defeated the favourite, Puss" Moth, in a hot finish in the Ranfurly Handicap. Puss Moth was not well ridden, and McDowell, on the winner, outrode Bentley, even though he lost an iron in the straight. Hawthorn, Beacon Fire, Grand Talk, Valueless, and Princess Bede all finished close up. High Pitch was the favourite for the Remue'ra Hurdles, but he lost his rider after jumping the second fence, when he was interfered with by Fernden, who had fallen just in front of him. Arch Eagle, an outsider, tried to win all the way, but after Advance Camp had kept him at it in the middle stages, Lucess came along at the last fence, aniTjust beat him home. Lucess jumped splendidly, and was well ridden by A. E. Ellis. Cruachan went a fair race but did not fence quite as well as usual.

Good. Race for Steeples. | The Great Northern Steeplechase was a remarkably good race. Mangani toppled over when leading at the first fence, and Make Up took up the pacemaking. The field raced in close order, and before a round had been covered Billy Boy assumed command with around to go. Billy Boy fell back, and Make Up just led Nukuraai and Copey. Everything was close enough to have a chance when the hill was reached the third time round, and it was here that Copey took command. Make Up and. Isukumai fell at the first fence on the hill, and Copey turned down the decline a few lengths ahead of Claremore and Callamart. Copey just led Callamart at the last fence, and stayed on to win by a length. Claremore was a good third, with Billy Boy and Paris some distance away. It was a triumph for a genuine stayer with a light weight, and he gave a fine display of jumping. Callamart swerved right out to the outside rail at the finish, otherwise he may have been closer to the winner. Billy Boy and Make Up were made too much use of, and it was surprising to see the top weights out forcing the pace. Landmark fell when going well in the second round. It is unlikely that any of the fallen horses would have beaten Copey or Callamart with a stand up. Sunny Sky Buns to Form. As a result of the heavy support for True Shaft and Manawhenua, Sunny Sky was at a good price in the King George Handicap, and she ran. right up to form to win nicely from the fastfinishing Historic, who came from a long way back. Huntingdon was third after making practically all the running from-Consent. True Shaft was always fairly well placed, but could only finish fourth. Manawhenua did not get a good run, and Arikira was badly left. King's Areher finished well just behind True Shaft. Full Measure won the Panmiire Hurdles by four lengths, but was ridden right out to win from Trowbridge, who was at long odds, and Appledore. Arcade was going well behind the winner at the second to last fence, where he interfered with Appledore, who may have won if he had not been stopped. Biform and Cargen did best of the j others. Imamint attempted to win the Fitzroy Handicap from end to end, , but Seneschal, who followed her into the straight, was just too good at the finish. Glenrata, Catch 'Em, and Grand Talk all finished on. Nightguard was sixth. Nightguard was not sighted early, but was up to seventh at the turn and just made up a little ground from there on.
