NOTES ON THE RACING. Arctotis Again. KaU' the field in tho Midwinter Han-j djeap broke at different stages of the race, but the winner, Arctotis, did not look like making a mi-stake at any stage and although bis winning margin was on]y half a Jeßgtb, he •won most comfortably. From the back mark, Arctotis was in sixth place at the end of half a mile, and passing the stands the order was Dolores, Arctotis, First Wrack, Todd Bingen. Great Amazon, Katute. Todd Lonzia, and Mountain Mist. Dolores led Arctotis along the back, with First Wrack, Todd Bingen. and Todd Lonzin in pursuit. Dolores, Arctotis, and First Wrack had opened up a clear lead into the straight, but Dolores broke 100 yards from the post when challenged by Arctotis and First Wrack Todd Lonzia finished very fast in the straight, to gather First Wrack, but he could not reach Arctotis Dolores was fourth and Mountain Mist and Todd Bingen were next to finish. Todd Lonzia broke early in the race, but even if he had gone correctly all the way he -would not have beaten Arctotis. Gav Paree broke at tho end of two furlougs. Katute and King h Voyage broke during the running. GemUght failed to move off correctly. First Wrack did not make a wista.tc on tin? occasion, but after bcin« prominent a 1 the wav she was weakening at the linisii. Todd Bingen trotted well all the way, but he was never a real danger. Dolores appeared to be beaten when she went to a break.

Ferfomance Repeated. Eureka Bov repeated his first day's performance in the Lightning.Handicap by beginning fastest' and leading all the war. Tempest was hi. nearest attendant for a wile and a quarter, whern Eureka Boy drew away and won in the easiest fashion by eight lengths. Holly Bank, -who was in third place throughout, finished six length, turther back Peter Locanda was a poor fourth and Aristotle next, -Nona Bingen and Wild Guv began badly. t The onjy surprising jVature abog» Eureka Boy's convincing mn was he was altowed to return a false divjdend in view of his runaway victory on Monday. Tempest raized well tor a mil a and a quarter, wh*n he began to tire, but he was so far in front ot the next horse that he still had a good

Qhainpion Returns to Form.

deal to spare at the finish. The favourite, Peter Locanda, did not look | likely at any stage. j

The National Handicap produced u. | most exciting finish in which the champioH, Harold Logan, triumphed after faltering in the straight when ho was fighting out the issue with Bed Shadow. A hundred yards from the post he went to a break, but he recovered Ins balance quick!v and came on to snatch success just on the post. Tho race was run at a muddling pace. Impromptu was soon in front, and at the halfmile, completed in limn lSscc, King Pointer, Red Shadow, Oicnrossie, Auto Machine, Lindbergh, Harold L°S au > and Free Advice were running,! ll tliat order. At the mile post, reached in 2min 19see, Impromptu was three lengths clear of King Pointer, with Red Shadow in third place. The order was unchanged until the field was going down the back stretch—the mile and a. half having becu covered in 3min 25sec—where C+lenrossie broke. Impromptu, King Pointer, and Red Shadow were practically on temn turning for home, with Lindbergh, Harold Logan, and Auto Machine next. Red Shadow appeared to be the winner halfway up the straight, but Harold Logan was putting in some very telling work and ongaged Red Shadow in a willing battle. He finished the better and won by a neck. Kingcraft came very fast in tho straight to gain third money by a .length. Then came Lindbergh and King Pointer, with necks separating them. Rollo was sixth.

No doubt the slow early pace set aided materially to Harold Logan's success, as he had made up nearly all iiin handicap at the end of a mile, and when it came to the fast run in the last half-mile, he was superior to the others. Red Shadow recorded an excellent performance in having to go down only to New Zealand's champion pacer. Kingcraft came from eighth position over the final quarter and his effort was full of merit. Lindbergh went a sound race, but King Pointer rather disappointed by weakening in the final furlong. Auto Machine went away correctly this time, but the best he could do was to finish seventh. Rollo ■went away badly and he was always near the rear of the field.

Won alt the Way. Great Parrisb made ameuds for his two previous defeats at the meeting by convincingly taking the Federal Handicap, of one mile and a quarter. On the earlier days, when the going was not at its best, he stopped at the cud of his races, but in the race under notice he took the lead at the start and won easily by two lengths from Dillon Logan, who was always in second place. Morning Sue, Nimble Direct, Wrackeen, Festival, Some Guy, and Grand Canyon were always handiest to the leaders. In an interesting tussle for third place Nelson's Victory finished a neek in front of the favourite. Gold Country, with Morning Sun. Nimble Direct, Pluto, and Princess Mauritius at the head of a bunch.

Great Parrish won ii» handsome fashion, and he demonstrated that he appreciates fast going. He was not troubled at any stage. Dillon Logan ran easily his best race at the meeting and stayed on much better than in his earlier races. Nelson's Victory came from a long way back to gain third place. Gold Country found the field and his handicap too much. Morning Sun was always prominent, but Wraekeep, Festival, and Some Guy dropped out over the concluding stages. Pluto and Grand Canyon were in the thick of it at different stages. The former looked as if he might have won rounding the final turn, but he did not. finish well. Aa Impressive Performance. In the Heathcote Handicap Wilma Dillon took the lead at the end of two furlongs and, except for being headed momentarily by Tamdale in the middle stages, he was not displaced. Steel AH, Somerby, Sir Guy. Gunfire, and Sunny Morn were always prominent in the leading division of the bunched field, but Gunfire was interfered with in the back straight the last time, when Tarndale broke, but he Mas soon going well again. Colorado was at this etago still near the rear of a closely-bunched crowd of horses. At tho three furlongs post Wilma Dillon had a slight advantage from Sunny Morn, Sunny Bob, Somerby,. Dillon Logan, Sir Guy, and Ayrmont Chimes. Wilma Dillon led Sunny Morn, Somerby, and Gunfire into the straight, and Colorado was moving up fast on the outside of the field, Wilma Dillon. Sunny Morn. Somerby, Colorado, Sir Guy, Gunfire, Sunny Bob, and Harvest Child nil participated in the finish, and necks only separated the first-named five-, Wilma Dillon heralded his return to form hv his second placing to Colorado on Wednesday and showing an improvement on that'form yesterday he was always master of the situation. The leading half do7en horses all went excellent races, but Gunfire was perhaps the unlucky one. Colorado, too, may have finished closer had he not had a large field to go round to renc.h a position from which he could strike.

A Spectacular Exhibition. ' Biddy Parrisli gsivo spectators a thrilling eslubitioii of trott.ng m the Addinaton Handicap, and on y wop ttA- 0 great battle with Wrackler in tto straight. Nelson Ata and Stanley rbeganW and AH Peters led out from Ambition and Quickhre. At tlie end of six furlong. All Peters «ti 1 held command from Ambition, witn Quickfire, Admiral Biugen, Gannonball, Biddv Parrish, Fifa, Wrackler, and Huon Voyage all within striking dis-t-xnee Biddy Parrish raced away trom the second bunch down the back, and she was in third place at the three furlongs post, to be in second place to Atnb fon tur'ni.ig for borne, All Peters having tired. Wrackler, Quickfire, and Fifa followed the leading pair into the straight, shortly after which Ambition tired Biddy Parrisli was then in command, and although Wrackler tried doWroinedlv to head .l«er, the mare was not to be denied, and reached the post n neck to the good. Four lengths further hack came Ambition, then l'iin, Huon Voyage, and Stanley T. Although Biddy Pnrrisl. did not he<rin very fast, and she had been praetienllv caught by Wrackler in the back straight, glio had too much speed, and her brilliant run along the bach the last time was a feature of the race. Wrackler also gnvo a very attractive nprformanrc, and he beat everything Hut the winner very easily. Ambition faiWl to stav. Great Way broke enrlv in the rnoo mid he was not nrtevwards nrominpnr. Huon Vovago. the fovonrii.« did not race -with any dr.sh. and Fifa «ave the best showing of the remainder. •

Tactless Prevails. When the held lor the Islington Handicap had settled down Nimbus was'in front, from Silver do Oro, Wild Guv Wrecker, Nelson inn. Tactless, liokenit, and War Paint. Down tlie back the second time Tactless ran- into fourth place. Xiinbut, still held command, with a round to gy, Irom Silver de Oro. Wild Guy. Tactless, Netta Oro. ami Wrecker. Going along the back Wrecker .sprinted to be hi third place at the three furlongs post IsmiI,u's' stopped shortly after tins, am Silver de Oro came round the last bend in front of Wrecker, with Tactless. Hokena, Wild Guy, and Netta Oro also in the picture. When Wrecker went to the front in the straight, victory looked assured, but Tactless, receiving u luckv opening on the rails, came through fast, to win hv a long h W 4>painfnnd Kelp finished well to fill third and fourth places respectively.

Awa-iti was next, followed by Rokena and the very tired Silver de Oro. Tactless shewed good form on the opening day, being narrowly defeated by Gunfire." He is an excellent stayer and this quality enabled him to make tbo best of the opportunity when it was presented. Wrecker paced nu excellent race. He was always in the leading half-dozen horses. War Paint showed her best form since she has been trained in Canterbury. Kelp and Awa-iti were not prominent until the final stagey. Wild-Guy again failed to stay, as did Silver do Oro. Nimbus began to tire when leaving the hack straight, and Jib broke a little further on and dropped right back.

yinal to Kingcraft. A good dividend was returned by Kingcraft, winner pf the concluding event, the Farewell Handicap, for which he was seventh chojee. The favourite, Oraulcigh, was .first to begin, but Colonial Boy soon took up the running, and at the end of half a' mile Muriel do Oro was on terms with him, with Craaleigb, Impromptu, Delightful, and Ena--wah comprising the first bunch, Rolla and Kingcraft were closest 'of the others. Impromptu had run up to Colonial Boy at the half mile post, where Muriel de Oro, Delightful, and Kingcraft were handiest. Just before leaVr ing the back straight Kingcraft nioved up fast, and ho was on terms with Colonial Boy and Impromptu at the straight. Muriel de Oro, Delightful, and Cranlcigh were next, the lastnamed being on the inside. Impromptu and Muriel de Oro were first to weaken, and immediately Kingcraft took the lead. Rollo and Red Shadow appeared on the scene, but Kingcraft managed to hold his advantage to be a neck in front of Rollo, who finished very fast, at the post. Cranleigb was a length away: then at short intervals came Red Shadow and Impromptu, King Pointer and Glenrossie. If Cranleigh had received a clear run he would probably have extended the winner. Coming into the straight he was badly placed on the rails and he had to be taken to the outside to gain a clear run to the post, which movement cost him considerable ground. In view of the good form shown by Kingcraft in the National Handicap, in which he finished third, he returned a surprisingly good dividend. Beginning ■well, he was soon in a handy position, and tho burst of speed ho showed in the back straight was too brilliant for the other? to withstand, and it was at this stage he was hailed as the winner. Rollo finished very well. He was on terms with Kingcraft with a round to go, but the latter left him in the bark straight, Red. Shadow, from tho back, did not tarnish the reputation he had earned ?vt the meeting by his performance.
