' The Spring Meeting of the Wellington Racing Club commenced at Trentham yesterday. There was a fairly largo attendance, the visitors including the Hon. J. A. Millar (Minister for Labour) and Sir Geo. Clifford (president of tho Racing Conference). Though there appeared to be fair prospects for fine weather in the morning, the sky gradually became overcast, and when the racing was half-way through the rain commenced to fall, and continued -in heavy showers during the remainder of the afternoon. In some of the races the fields were not large, but in the .Wellington Handicap, for which twelve starters went to the post, a particularly fine race resulted. Swimming Belt, the winner, was the outsider of the field, and was the biggest outsider that has so far prevailed' on the Trentham course. The Wellesley Stakes was won by Provocation, who put down a hot favourite in Elysian. Speculation on the totalisator was limited, • the total investments being over £4000 less than for the corresponding day last year. Twentynine bookmakers were licensed for the day, so that their fees would pretty well account for tho deficiency in totalisator . revenue. Details of the racing are as follow: — ' OCTOBER HACK HURDLE HANDICAP, of 100 sovs. One milo and threequarters. Mr. W..Smart's b.g. Libferator, by Freedom —Melba, aged, 9st. (T. Pritchard) 1 Mr. F. J. Attfiekl's Master Douglas, 10st. lib. (Jno. O'Connell) 2 Mr. W. Davies's Yosami, 9st.'(H.Cairns) 3 Also started: Gleam, list. (Stewart). Liberator and Yosami reached the first jump several lengths ahead of tho other pair. Passing the stand Liberator was a couple of lengths clear of Yosami, who was closely followed by Alaster Douglas, Yosami wont to tho front at the' mile post, but dropped back at the next hurdle, leaving Liberator in command. The latter was not afterwards troubled, winning comfortably by four lengths from Master Douglas, who was twonty lengths ahead of the other pair. Time, 3min. 21 2-ssec. RIMUTAKA HACK HANDICAP, of 100 sovs.. Six furlongs. 1 ' Hon. J. D. Ormond's b. f. Pellicle, by Birkenhead (imp.)— Film, 3yrs, 7st. 51b (L. Wilson) 1 Mr. W. F. M'Both's Crucinella, 9st. 21b. (Hatch) 2 Mr. A. R. White's Voetgang, 7st. 101b. .(Lowe) 3 Also started: Flintgun, 7st. 51b.- (Dcelcy): Bluo Ribbon, 7st. 41b. (Carroll). Flintgun was first away from Voetgang and Crucinella, but Pcllicle went to tho front at the haystack and led round tho bend from Flintgun and Voetgang. Crucinella ,ran into second place at the three furlongs post, but was unable 1 to make any impression on Pellicle, who won easily by three lengths. Voetgang was a poor third, Blue Ribbon fourth, and Flintgun last. Time, lmiu. 16 l-osce. HUTT PARK HURDLE HANDICAP, .of 200 sovs. Olio mile and three-quarters. Messrs. Bowen and Corrigau's . br. g.

(M'Connon); Snip, 9st, slb, (Pritchard). Passing the stand, Paparaehi, Exmoor, and Lyrist were abreast, two lengths ahead of tho other pair. At tho mile post Paparaehi and Lyrist had drawn clear of Exmoor, and Mahoe was' moving up ; Half a mile from home Paparaehi was leading from Lyrist, and Snip was third. Lyrist took the lead before the last- hurdle and won easily by half a dozen lengths from Paparaehi, who "had to be ridden out to beat Mahoo by a length. Snip was fourth. Time, 3min. 17 2-osec.
WELLINGTON HANDICAP, of 400 sovs., second horse to receive SO s'ovs. and tlie ■third horse 25 sots, from the stake, Ono mile and a quarter. Mr. H. Gaisford's blk. h. Swimming Belt, by Captain Webb—Chatelaine, syrs, 7st: 816 ; (Geo. Price) 1 Hon. J. D. Ormond's br. h. Zimmerman, ' by Birkenhead (imp.)— Solitaire, oyrs, 9st. 61b ;(F. D. Jones) 2 Mrs. M. Moore's b. h. Sir Frisco, by San Francisco (imp.)—Waitemata, 4yrs, Bst ; (R. E. Hatch) 3 Also started: California, 9st. 71b. (Whittaker) ; Gold Crest, 9st. 41b. (Jenkins); Goldboater. Bst. 31b. (I°. E. Jones); Irish Itifle, Bst. lib. (Oliver); Glenullin, 7st. 81b. (Deeley) ; San Julio, 7st. 41b. (Cress); Silken Rein, 7st., carried. 7st. 21b. (Wilson); Sandstream, Gst. 101b. (H. Price); Mallet, Gst. 71b. (R. Young). A good start saw Mallet take' the lead from Gold Crest and Irish Rifle. ' Going round the top the order was Gold Crest, Goldbeater, Irish Rifle, and Zimmerman, with Swimming Belt in the middle of the field, and California last. Near the seven-furlong post Gold Crest and Goldbeater were just ahead of Sandstream, Irish Rifle, Sir Frisco, and Zimmerman, while Swimming Belt had drifted back to last. At the haystack the first five still held their positions, but Zimmerman had dropped back a little, California was moving up on the outside, and Swimming Belt was still last. Entering the straight, Gold Crest and Goldbeater_ were just ahead of Sandstream and Sir Frisco, with Glenullin and California moving up, and Zimmerman and Swimming Belt coming through on the rails. Swimming Belt came with a 'great run from the distance, and, stalling off a challenge from Zimmerman, won by half a length, with Sir Frisco a length away third, Glenullin fourth, Goldbeater lifth, California sixth, Gold Crest seventh, and Mallet and Sandstream last. Time, 2min. 10 4-ssec.

The latter took charge entering the Straight,' but Sir Single finishing-fast; won by threeparts of a length, \Vith"Ukraine a couple of lengths away third, and Whetumarama fourth. Time, lmin, 5 4-ssec. NOTES ON THE RACING.. Waimaria and Tauira were,, withdrawn from the October Hack Hurdles,.leaving four starters. Master Douglas .was sent -out a much better favourite than,,-Gleam,:, but, never had, a chance withr Liberator who ,was in front nearly,all- the- way.v! v Pritch'ard handled the winner nicely^-kcepihg-him' well in hand with .the result that ~he . was.,able to stay the distance out. comfortably; and with his- suj>erior pace ,'lie; easily,', held; hi,s opponents safe at the finish. Yosami showed plenty of pace, hut does not jump sufficiently well to win a race yot. Master Douglas, too, is still green at, the game.- ..Ho blow freely when he came in and is evidently,not. at, his best yet. .... ~r, .... ' The : stewards called on''' J. > Stewart'to explain the maimer of : Handling Gleam. The jockey's explanation was that in keeping Gleam behind the leadoi-s"".in the' early stages ho was riding to instructions. Gleam is a small mare not' framed' on weightcarrying lines; and the. explanation was accepted as satisfactory. Only five horses went to the post: for the. Rimutaka Hackj for. which 'Crucinella;'was made a pronounced ''favoiintc.'.^, , ..The ' .San Francisco maro did not begirf'tbo- well,.ai)d, with her heavy impost, was'in "trouble, after going half the distance. "It almost!' looked as if Voetgang should have beaten-lie'r for second place.' l Voetgang,..however., , is probably better suited by a mile journey. Pellicle, the winner, is. a full-sister .to-Kairoma. Though not thoroughly .'sound,'- sho ,is ; very well at present, and had she - been pushed oould probably have registered better..time than sho did. ...'!.... All the acceptors went':to-the post' for- : the ; Hutt Park Hurdles. Lyrist was tlid'favourite sejcction, but Snip and Paparaehi -wero both fairly well backed. Paparaohi went to the front at the start and led till tliree furlongs from-home, but as soon as-Lyrist's-paco was called into requisition lio-went to the lead and won with ridiculous "ease. Malioo showed a glimpse of form by running Paparaehi to a length for second place.' - Exmoor's weight proved too much-for' him, and ho never once showed in tlie front. Snip was going well coming into : th'e" straight, but faded away in the last furlong.'• "
The withdrawal 'of King Post left tlife good field of twelve to , contosty.-the •."Wellington Handicap. The top-weight,.-California,: was selected as favourite, Sir .-Frisco," Sandstreahi, Zimmerman, and Glenullin' being next ■ iir demand. Swimming Belt was the-absolute out-' siderof the field. Some delay was caused .atthe start by Sir Frisco and: Swimming-Belt.-Tho latter, after making severa) attempts to bite Irish Iliflo, turned his attention to tho chestnut's rider, and Oliver made a hurried exit from the saddle. Eventually, tho field was lined up in good order, and an even start effected. Swimming Belt, after racing in the middle of tho field for three furlongs, dropped back to last, and half a milo from home he looked to be, hopelessly, out of it, but G. Prico was in his very best form, and, stealing through an opening at the .homo, turn, he quickly got to .tho front,-and, after a great finish, won by half a length. Though a trifle sore, the black horse- looked very fit, but ho is such an in-and-out performer that the public would not have him. The honours of the race reallv rested with Zimmerman. With his 9st. 61b. he began beautifully, and early had a good position, but going down the hack lie got a bump, and drifted back to the rear of the field. Jones, then kept him behinduntil the straight was reached. Here ho found an opening, : and tho big horso-finished like a lion, but was too late to overhaul Swimming Belt. Those who have backed Zimmerman for the New Zealand Cup must feel very pleased with his performance, for lie ran like a. thorough sta.vor.'and being such an.exceptionally brilliant horso (remember his Jubilee C\ip per-, formancc), tho 'long straight. at. Riccarton will be a good deal in his favour; His trainer has him looking very well, and lie was probably never sounder in his life before; Of California it has to be said that. ho. failed, and his failure was probably due to his .inability to commence well,"and to tho fart that lie raced on the outside of the field the whole way. Gold Crest and Goldboater ran well enough for seven furlong6j j
but dropped .clean out of it at tile business end. Sancktream was running prominently to tho straight, but just as be, should hare been moving forward with his light weight ho faded into tho ruck. The best of the others were Sir Frisco, who held a good position most of tho way and'fiiiished third, and Glonullin,. who put in a nice run over the ■last three furlongs and was fourth. In tho Shorts Handicap, Gipsy Belle wont to the front early with North Head, and getting a big break on the rest of tho field, ■lasted long enough', to win by a head from Truganini. The Stopniak mare was stopping, to a walk at the finish. Truganini was unlucky in iio't getting away too well, but she finished splendidly. l ' A field of nine turned out for the Wellesley Stakes. Xylophone went wrong, and has been sent home. I This left the Hon. J. D. Ormond without , a representative in the race. On tho strength of his two previous victories, Elysilin ' was installed a solid favourite, and' Provocation, was much better .backed /'than any of tho others. The raco was run,in heavy rain. Provocation and Elysiaii' ran right away from the rest of the field,' and the former, had matters all his own- way, when the last furlong was reached. Gravitation's brother is as fine a looking colt as 1 eyer graced.the racing' tracks, and is moreover.a beautiful-actioned,horse. He has suffering with shin soreness, and may not; be able to fulfil all-his engagements, but if lie, has to be' spelled, Mr. Bidwill has .another good two-year-old in Expansion to represent him. ■ Kiltie Lass, who finished just out of a place, is a half-sister to Playmate. She shaped very well, and should Be equal to winning before long.- Armlet's brother, Tawhaki, began fairly well, but never had a chance with the first two horses. • Tho Wainui Handicap was a real good thing for Vasa, though backers were unable to see it in that light before the start. The Finland _ mare is possessed of a rare turn of , speed, and now that she is quietening down she always gets away from tho barrier smartly, ancr her last three races she has won very easily: Diabolo.was the favourite in this race, but ho shaped disappointingly, and will want to • show improvement befora lie wins. San Fernando, who made the running for seven' furlongs,. had all but the winner 'well beaten. Sir . Single won the Spring Hack in fine style.. He did not. appear on the sceno until well up the-straight, but came with an invinciblo run when callod on. He is a halfbrother to Gold Seal, and should run out of the hack division very quickly. Cork and Advantage were both .well backed in this race.' The former never showed up, but Advantage, after making an excellent beginning, failed ignominioUsly, and cannot be anything but a very ordinary performer. Bracken ana Ukraine both shaped, well for maiden appearances. The former was out by himsolf at the end of four furlongs, and when ;he stays better should, .win .a race or two. .
