OTAKI MAORI RACING CLUB'S SPRINC MEETING. SECOND DAY'S RESULTS. JENKINS RIDES FOUR WINNERS. The Otaki Maori Racing Club's spring meeting was' concluded yesterday in iino weather, though a south-westerly breeze made matters rather unpleasant as the day wore on. Tho attendance was rather poor, and speculation on the totalisator was limited, the total investments amounting to £3644. Eight bookmakers were licensed, four inside and four outside. Tho fields throughout the afternoon wero on the small side, but the racing itself was interesting onough. C. Jenkins was on tho back of four winners during the afternoon. In tho hurdle race H. Cairns got a severe fall off Yosami, and received a slight kick from another horse whilo on tho ground, but was not seriously injured. The following aro the results: — RAILWAY HANDICAP, of 70 sovs. Six furlongs. Mr. O. E. Austin's ch. g. Toa Tulii, by Conqueror—Chainstitch, syrs., Bst. 41b (L. Lambess) 1 Mr. G."

Yosami fell at tho sefcond jump, leaving Waimaria iff tho lead from Hatley and Papatawa. This was tho order until two furlongs from home, where Lyrist moved up, and taking charge beforo the last hurdle, won by two lengths from Hatley. Waimaria was a fair third, and Papatawa fourth.

Just when Daisy Paul appeared to have tho race in hand' Probability camo with a fast run on tho outside, and won by over n ImiKth. Flotilla wan fourth. Tirno, liniu, 31 3-sseo.

NOTES AND COMMENTS. [By Glencoe.] Of tho four starters in the Railway Handicap, Ton I'uhi was selected as favourite. The Conqueror gelding, who was meeting Duart on 71b. bettor terms than on tho first day, was in a handy position the wholo way, and when the straight was reached, he won rather easily from Flotilla, who put ill a Jato run. Lord Soult ran an improved race, and another outing or two should sharpen him np for his Riccarton engagements. Duart got blocked wlien making liii; run, hut would have had 110 chance of catching Tna Tuhi. Paparaehi was tlio only withdrawal from tho Second Hurdles'. Lyrist was tlio best backed of the field, and Waimaria and Tho Dane wore the outsiders. Lyrist did not look quite as fit as on the first day, but he had no difficulty in settling the opposition, coming away after the last 'hurdle with ridiculous case. Hat-ley kept with his field to-day and comfortably beat all but the winner. Cairns sent Yosami along at a great pace from the start, and rode her hard at the first two hurdles, but she scarcely rose at all at tho second. fence, and Cairns was shot over her head right in front of the field. Luckily ho escaped with a rough shaking.

All tho acceptors faced tho starter in the Otaki Hack Handicap. Roosevelt was favourite, and led at half the distance,' but could only finish a poor third. King Post, who was not much fancied, was first away from the barrier, but Roosevelt chopped across him and Jenkins was bored on to tho rails and twisted his ankle. His mount then dropped back to last, hut came with a good run over the last two furlongs,, and won by half a length. Rangihaeta ran better today than lie has done for a long time; lie was taken to tho front at half, the journey but just failed to last the distance out. Bluebell, - who broke through the tapes at the start, is scarcely ready yet, but should bo hailed a winner in another month or so.

Reumac was the only withdrawal from tho Trial Handicap. Atom took charge of his rider before the start, and' bolted half a mile. Ho was left several lengths at tho start, and tailed tho field the whole way. Roosevelt, who'had the services of S. Rcid in this race, appeared to have benefited by the run in the previous event, and won nicely at the finish. Longner and Notorious made the- running from the' barrier, and Longner finishod very well. Clemency, the favourite, made a very poor showing, and never looked dangerous.

Only Irish Rifle and Swimming: Belt, were sent out to contest the Demonstration Handicap. There was very little speculation over the race, Irish Rifle feint; most fancied. In his preliminary ho moved short, and though ho led for the greater part of the journey ho was easily beaten nt the finish. Rcid brought him rather wide at the home turn, and both horses finished in the middlo of the course

Tho seven acceptors fulfilled their engagements in tho Rangiura Welter,' for which Flintgun, Scenery, and Zoraida were the favourito fancies. ■ Playmate, an tho outside, got a. little tho worst of a good start, but gradually worked his way to tho front, and won with something in hand at the finish. Buoyant showed an approach to form, and ran a really good race. He looks like winning again shortly. Scenery, who shaped fairly well in a three-horso raco on the first day, was very disappointing. ' Tho Trentham horse Flintgun was out in.front for six furlongs. but faded out of a place before tho judge's box was reached. ' .

Among tho competitors in . the Electric. Hack was Tho Saint, who won a maiden race at Bulls last month. When it was seen that Jenkins had tho mount on the Sylvia Park mare, she was installed favourito. There was some delay at the start, but when tho field was dispatched Tho Saint got all tho best of it, and, quickly getting into her stride, she soni{ had a break of -several lengths on tho field. Sho was steadied in tho straight, and. won with tho greatest of ease bv a longth. Whetumaranu was again badly left, and never got near tho leaders,, though ho was going-fast ovor tho last furlong.

Irish Rifle, who competed in the biff race,, was the only withdrawal from the Welter Handicap. Dnart. who; made his fourth appearance at tl|o meeting, had the services of Jenkins, and was fairly well bnelced. but towards the close of the betting Daisy Paul was a pronounced favourite. After gettinc away none too well, the chestnut mare looked all over a winner in. tho straight, but she stopped t-no soon, and succunib"d to a late run by Probability,. The.latter was the •W«?esfc outsider to win at the meeting—a disastrous .meeting for backers. The winner was ridden by R. Cameron, and that she carried 71b. over-weight probably accounted for tho fact that some of the bookmakers did not lay a. single bet against, her. Her victory was in some measure due to tho nice race which.Cameron rode. .

Winning jockeys at the'meeting, were:—C. Jenkins, five; F. Cress, two: C. Cochrane, two; S. Reid. two; C. Mitohell. W. Ryan, T. Carroll,-L. Lambess, and' R. Cameron; oiie each. . ,

The principal winning owners at the meeting were Mr. J. Bull, £145; Mr. H. Gaisforrl, £120; Messrs. Bowen and Corrigan, £120; Mr. J. 11. Prosser. £95; Mr. A. Jackson. £90: Mr. A. Lisliirk, £80*. Mr. H. Stent, £70: Mr. O. Austin. £70; Mr. J. iCoirin, M.P.. £65: Mr. T. Hall, £60; and Mr. F. G. Roe, £55. . •

Duart is expected to reach Trentham from Otaki to-morrow. ' He. will be ridden at the meeting by B. Deeley. . The Porirua team for the Wellington spring meeting goes across to Trentham tomorrow, and a number of other horses are also expectcd by to-morrow night. NAPIER PARK RACINC CLUB'S SPRINC MEETING. MORAL WINS THE HANDICAP. THREE WINS FOR DEELEY. (D* IEI.EGB4PH—I'KESS ASSOCIATION.) Napier, October 15. Beautiful weather prevailed throughout the second day of tho Napier Park Racing Club's spring meeting to-day, and there was a largo attendance. Excellent sport was enjoyed, for though tho fields .wero small some of tho finishes wero extremely close, and overy race was interesting. The totalisator investments amounted to £6057, as compared with £7510 on the second day last year. For the two days the money put through the machine amounted to £12,789, as against £17,048 for the last spring meeting. Thirteen bookmakers wero on the ground to-day, tho fees to the club amounting 'for tho day to £182 10s., making a total derived from that source for tho two days of £375 10s.
