NOTES. ■Eolus and Pretty Maid were .equal favourites in ; tho Ngarara Hack. ,Hurdles in .i field of four. ,On.his running tho previous day it 6eemed'that /Eoliis <jouid hardly lose, but he ran disapjidintingly. ' Pretty Maid bad no difficulty in 'disposing of Dulciiiea 'arid TiiSoiij wlio word manifestly outclassed. , 'Chatterer, Aboriginal, Platypus, and'Sherlock Holmes* were withdrawn from the <Rototawni Handicap. Simplex, the favourite, repcatd his performance in the Wardell iTatidicap. of. yesterday by getti'ug away, with: a gjootl'load..- He was never-headed. Merrie Rose was socoiid all tho way. Merrie Zealand was prominent with Waicola for half way, and, then died away and -ran :last..-

There were ho . scratchi.ngs in the Moroa Hack .Handicap . in a field'of twelve, which produced one of the. Best finishes of the day... Kelso was favourite," 1 witli ,Strathcona next. Mania was fairly well backed. . Tho : start was a good onej exccpt' for Consolation, which' lost two lengths. Kelso had 'slightly the best of .itj when the barrier wemt Up and led nearly all tho way, but found.tho weight too union, wheii tackled by Osiris and Lochidla, Sjjratheona came up on the outside with a lat.6 inn, arid jtist managed to reach second ■ place.- Kelso was fourth. Kelso was jitllled out -of the Taulioroiiikau Hack'.Handicap, the'field being reduced to six. Lucretius was tho fancy of tho public. Wailotho bad a bad start, losing fully a length., Buoyant ran well for the, first half mile,. with Diplomatic ill: close - attendance. Anomolws was fast nearly ail- tho wdy.'Vniky the had her field beaten when she reached the turn for home, and won with something ifi hiirid. Sail Fciriando was fourth, Aberration 1 fifth, San Julio sixth, 'l'oa Tiihi seventh, and Elfrida last. ' Consolation was. scratched in tlio Juvenile Handicap, , reducing tho field to six. .Ponates , was made 'favfturite. 'Naumai 'did not run kindly.' Ho was in the lead almost all tho way, but- did not finish with his usual strength. Penates, 1 who was very well ridden i caliifl thf6u[!li from the, eorlicr, and won by. half a length. S[)lnsli .ran a good race. Frisco finished last. Aboriginal was scratched iii tile Stewards' llandicap, for -which tho venerable Platypus was favourite, with Slicrlock Holmes and Widfckilra.'next oh the list. Platypus fulfilled iiir cipectatiGiis,. being well ridden by 0. Cross. Ho, occupied n,..good' position throughout, and jtlist beat .Whajokufa b". a,

short neck, Sherlock Holmes being a length away third. Wharekurn looked vbrjr rough, but he is improving, and should win races bofore long. Prism ran disappointingly, while Bonriio Doon's chances were spoilt b.v a bad start. Scotch Keel was a failure, and ran last all the way.

Penates, Wonderbohm, Nitchcvo, Sedgemoor, and Iranui were withdrawn from tho Waiohine ■ Dash Handicap. Out of tlio six starters it was generally considered that Naumai would havo to fall down in order to lose, but_ the fast flying' Tnmut was accorded a fair ,miount of. public support. Naumai wont aiyaj* as usual in the lead, with Tuinut in hot pursuit a,nd Conquer, a couplo of lengths away third. It was seen that Tuiri'ut was drawing upon Naumai, but Prit- . chard shook his mount up half-way down tho straight, and appeared to havo the race nicely in hand. M'Grath was riding Turnut desperately fifty yards from the winning ]>ost, and was half a length behind when F. Cross brought Conquer along with a lato run. It sCetued hardly possible that- ho could reach tho leaders in time, but lie passed tho winning post-galloping much faster than anyflimft clso. The' judge awarded him first place; Tnmut second, arid Naiiinai third. Tho public mado a demonstration against tho judge's verdict, and hooted for fully half an hour. Pritchard, tho rider; of Naumai, was certain that'he won by half a neck, but Mr. Thomas, who was 1 handicapper for the second day in tho placo. of Mr. Henrys', declared tho verdict was correct. Mr. ■G. Donald, who was in tho judge's box with "tlio deputy judge (Mr. J. S/Cundy) - was also sure that the placing was correct, but therei is a general opinion that 'Naumai was either first or s&jorid. CANTERBURY JOCKEY CLUB'S AUTUMN MEETING.
