" NOTES ON THE RACING. . Oorrespondont.) - l" ;i /: : :'T ; ''::'" Hastings,- October 6.. ■Some remarkable' changes occurred s in the/betting' Hack. Hurdles, but a'l public, form worked "■■ out cor- : rectly., ■:. Te: Whetu"; opened up favourite, but, at ; ,tba. eleventh .hour, money poured a.;for .Captain ...Tingle;-and. he went to the post a sound favourite; Te Whetu ■;■ did:not..begin very, well, but,''at:the first ;lence,^he. was level _with Captain Jingle. : lThe Tedding horse- made : a beautiful jump, •Awhilst' Captain Jingle' Struggled Clover. Appin fell tere, aM Whakawlira :;Came down on top of him. Following close behind was Pikopo, who cut tho fence, right out, and broke his leg. This necessitated hi 3 destruction. Te Whetu went on', with a strong load,'which Captaih Jingle was unable, to reduce, and the Daystar gelding won by a chain. Tho downfall, of the favourite was a severe blow to' his backers, who thought him : incapable.of losing. .: ' ■.

■•■The New Zealand Cup candidate, Cullman, .was saddled up in the Hack Race, and, -after . opening up at quite' a good price, he finished up a strong favourite. He .was.first to move, but was soon chopped out; -It made no difference to him however, as,- down the: back stretch, he van .past everything and, at the. half ©lie, was in a winning • position. He

oame into tho straight first, and won fairly comfortably.. Idealism was a long way clear of the others, and then came Mediterranean and Entente. ■

As all records were going by the board, it was confidently expected, that the winner of the Guineas would also put up a. new record, and the expectation was realised. Nothing moved bettor than Tribulation in the preliminary, and Birkdale f.lso went pleasingly, but Lord Kelvin appeared, sore in front. At the start Lord Kelvin, on the. rails, moved first, but .Tribulation- took charge, from .Cheddar and Birkdale, with Lord . Kelvin next. With, half the journey, gone tho positions were .unchanged, except that "the nearest to. the.favourite-was-Lord Kelvin. Entering tho straight, Birkdale ran up. to Lord Kelvin, and this. pair challenged 'Tribulation, but made, no impression on him, though ho certainly appeared to bo doing his very best as they passed the .post.'. .. ' . '■-

..::Centaur was supposed 'to .be' a better horse to-day, and ne .was made favourite in the Open Hurdles. Rangihaeta. went out iu front, and. forced-the pace. Longner headed him at. the stand; but Centaur .was always thereabouts, and, down the'<back, : he took the lead, and kept it. to the finish, though Rangihaeta.had him -doing his best in the.run home. Whatakura was last. ~' '~

, Bellah was the only'horse with a race in the Juvenile Handicap.field,.but sunporters of: the Ormond colours heeded not this^'.and.betted solidly on Bootle.. F. D. Jones on'the.favourite: was very.alert at the .barrier, ■■•; and, getting .out first, let nothing near him. Belkh easily beat. the', remainder. ..'..:-

Kopu v;as the only withdrawal, from the Spring. Handicap.. This left seven runners,, and 'great difficulty was experienced in finding :a favourite,-. Sandstream,- Ainato,' Sir" Tristram, and'Merriwa all- being at the same price. ■ The lightly-weighted ■ Spate 6opn rushed to tho 1 front,, and nothing .was able, to reach him.. 'Hescranibled'home :a winner by .'a long- neck from Sandstream.'; . Merriwa. got a lucky Tun on the'rails, and just failed to catch. Sandstream..; Separator and' Parable finished .together.in fourth position...

.Another surprise was in store for punters; in the nest race,' which ; went to fhe'little-fanoied.'Ainaru/.- -The Karaniu filly,. Falsetto,; was, made favourite in- a big field;:'but;she was evidently 1 feeling the ;, effects of. a. rather;, hard time.of it. having raced: twice .at Wanganui last week. The favourite began first, and led :to the; turn,- wheTe she, was in ■ trouble, aaid then Amaru.came away, and, after a>good. finish with. the':.placed.horses', she won :by, a length. Merne Valet "and Scots Fusilier, .bolted: once ..round' before ..the 'start;-, '-:>'"'-':■•■ ■.'.'■.'''■''..:-

-.There'were.' only -.five .runners', in . the ■Fmal .Handicap; .'and..the public .fined it down to Multiple."and Huinming:vßird, though probably more, money y-ent'on Humming BirdJwith.the ring. The start was-, a;/splendid one, the whole of, the runners being .in a, line • for nearly a'furlong.. Then' Lady -Rohina - forged : ahead from Multiple and.Humming Bird. Across the. bottom, Multiple, went to the front andled into.the'stfaight from Huminin" Bird. ;.Voetgahg then challenged; and in a-' hard finish ,Multiple woii by half a length.--:;':.'.>•' : : - , '■>,- .■'■ ■■-~,-'.-' ■■ -..::.-'
