Favoured by a good run tho whole way lip camo very fast in tho straight, aud won decisively. Tho crowd recognised the merit of tho purformauee. and gave him a good reception. Lord Ainslie, Toki, aud Kicomar wero scratched for tho Hack Hurdles, and Coalition was mado favourite. Golden Glade, Maractolara. and Castalia wero showing out when tho field settled down, aud they soon had the others strung out. Down the back Golden Glado went out by himself, and though ho fenced badly ho had too much foot for tho others, and ivu., easily. Maraototura- waß in second place at the last fence. In the run home Oiara looked certain to get second pthco, but his rider took matters easily, and M'Sweeney camo with a rattlo on Coalition, ami beat him on Iho post. The latter should do a lot better to-morrow, and so should Otara.

Tho acceptors all started in Hie Open Hurdles, l'ursefiller took up tho role of pacemaker at tho start, and. atteuded by Bou Rcve, she ran nast the stand with a big break on tho others, while llraeburn whinned tho field. Down tho hack Idealism ran into second place, but at the six furlongs ho struck heavily aud got rid of his rider. Purscfiller continued on in front, and though challenged by Hon PiOve in the straight sho won easily onough by lengths. Record was twenty lengths av.'.iy, and then came fit. lilinn, liraeburn, and Dkivolo.

Cyresian was a better favourite than the bracketed pair, Karo and Love Match, in the A'ursery Handicap. The start was a straggling one, and Manila slowed a lot of pace in front with Tho Speaker «iu] Cherry Mart next. Marula was in command at the distance, but then Cherry Hart took charge. The favourite tlicn came through, and was immediately challenged by Kavo. Tho pair fought it out to a limsh, and the Yaldhurst gelding had a lengta to the good at the post; Karo just beat Cherry Mart, aud then camo Marula and Taunaha. A Add of nineteen lined up for the Poukawa Handicap, six furlongs, i'oralino was a better favourite than Coolnan and Wapping, but the others wero neglected. Pao led Cooipan and Formlmo into thb straight. Ooolpan took charge at the distance, but immediately, Wapping, Gold Shot, Multive, and Formlmo joined in. A great race to the post saw Cooipan win by a head, while Gold Shot was a length away had a head clear of Multive and Forniline, who finished together, aho winner stripped well, and hi 6 viotory under such a weight was full of merit. Estland and Seadown were withdrawn from the Cup, which was one ->f i'io best races ever seen on the Hastings cc-UT6e. Client was the favourite, with Tesa ana Bonnie Maid next iu order. It w»s a record field in point of numbers, anil u new tiino record was established, Hythread M a hunched field juismg tne stand, with Client bringing up the rear.

Insido tho distanco Client camo fast and soon had coaimand. lie passed tho rest a. length to tho good of Dusky Lve, wliilo Tressida finished fast in third place. Then came Bonnio Maid, Menelaus, liuoednient, and ilythrcad. Whakahoki whipped tho The two-year-olds monopolised the betting in the Maiden liacc, and filled the places, though not in tho ever predicted on tho machine. Tlentya and Maioha had an advantage rounding the railway bend, but in tho straight Tig-rit-ya gave way, and Maioha went on to win easily from Matatua,.who rnly beat Kilmoon by a head. Tignlya was iourtlt, and the others strung out. Tho Autuirii Handicap was a pood betting race, nearly a dozou Of Uio rtnners coming in for strong support. Perfidy closed up favourite, but at no si ago of. tho race did she threaten Sanger. At the start Glorify and Comment led Hydius and Sweet Corn, with tho others strung out. Bounding tho bond the field closed „ P , and Beveral.of the ™ nnc VfsKe to possess winning chances.
