'V'l NOTES;ON; THEVRACING.'. (By .; .Masterton, March 17. Gold Bird was allowed to pay a false price 4n the Hack: Hiu'dles, though he etarted actual favourite. He was never troubled, and had tho raco in his keeping at any part of the journey. ■ Millpond,: wno s a d a stable boy in the saddle, was better than Pakau, though ■the machine indicated that the latter would run well. Straban was outclassed, as was Garrison, who ,was tailed iff the whole way. -.: ..■ The March Handicap was a good betting race.' Naumai delayed the dispatch, end was the last to move when the barrier went'up. Taitoko led for a short distance,. and then-Ballarat took charge. She entered" the . straight with a good lead,-.but;was not kept going, and Sunboriiiet, who came from last place, got •up;ih : time to make a dead heat of it. Teßoti' was a.couple of lengths further . back-jiist in front-of Taitoko.who finished well. . ■•■■•■'.-.■■- :. : v'; •■;■•'•■. :. As ushal'the public were, able to say •what-would win, the Maiden Race, and their choice won without being extended, This. was.'Penzi,'who is rather •a well-bred mare, .being by Finland from La Gloria—a fair, winner in her day, and.a.full sister .to"Nonette.. The Sivourite iumped r off in front, and was

iibt ■ headed. The Auckland-owned Maykoff ran , a fair race to the turn, but she stopped after that.

; In. the Mile Hack Eace a Tory weak held turned out, and tho public selected Afterthought as tho best. Memo .Land led to tho distance; and appeared to bo going very easily" in front, but ho stopped badly after seven furlongs.- Afterthought theii looked like winning, but First - Battery put in a .determined fun audwoii by a couple Of lengths.. First ..Consul began slowly as' usual, but he was finishing strongly.

In the Clip the scratching of Osiris and Taitoko (the forme'er ofriiig:io tho iiSar' approach of a. riiors valuable engagement,- and the.latter because h<j had fun earlier in the day):left Irariui in a class above, the 'others.'." Sho was iuadn a sound favourite, arid won easily in time that could havo been considerably improved ,' had necessity .arisen. Swimming, Belt.led .bn'snfferahc'e for half a mile,' when the favnnrite went. to the front, and was not again headed. Hilarian whs the best of the others, but he was a trifle &>fe;

The Bracelet seemed to be a good : faco for Waione;, on. paper,- and so it proved in running. He was ridden by. Mr; J. E. M'Dhhald,: jitii.,and: won comfortably. At different liafts of the race-he was nnder punishment, and seemed to be'doing-his best, but he putstayed '.- the, field, nnd won by several lengths. Merrie Emerald,, who' was, a quiet paddock tip, finished last.

.Judging by the ..betting market .in the Dash Handicap, the race was a gift to Kina. who drew Ntn-2 position, and had Jenkins in' the saddle; but. on this occasion, backers were h-i'fault. The start was a.straggling one,, but the favourite was. in a haritjv position had he been brilliant t ehonglii •, Hiriekorangi beiran very smartly, and set a solid pace, which quickly had most of the field in trouble. At the distance, ihp.,leading horses were till, bunched, and Kina was being proclaimed the winner'; but. he died awav, and Hinekorangi just beat Curator, who finished very fast; ;

rain set, in before the Open Welter Handicap, when once more the Porirua stable turned out a favourite, but again it was. beaten. This time it was Lsiiu'sj the full-brother to Tumut. He was badly placed at the'start, and was never dahgerousV-Wniata-won comfortably at the finish, and gave the fielder's another rare. turn. up... Specula-tion-was, however, very limited during the day;. ■ ••: ■■• <. "
