The coing waß on the heavy side, but though there were several falls no serious accidents occurred. That consistent performer, First- Line, was again seen to adva-ntago in tho bi<» r.toenlechaEe, in which ho wbb capably handled by H. JtSweeney. Locholla wafl well fancied in the Final Hurdles, and after a great finish he scored by a narrow margin. . The totalisator nut up record figures for a winter meeting at Trentham, and when the machine closed for the last race there was over £16.000 invested. The total for the day was £96.139, which is a record for the course. For the two dayß the Him of £164,623 went through the machine, compared with £112,889 4 on tiifi previous year, • when tho gathering extended over three days. _ There wcro 16 runners in the Talavera Hurdles, Otnuru Kid being favourite. The chestnut booh took charsrc, and: with Trontham -Rose, he strung out the field. Goia» down the back Falstaff, Ethiopian, and Golden Petal were nearest to the leaders At the half-mile the last-named ran up to Otaura Kid. but a faulty jump caused him to lows ground. Otaura Kid led over tho last fence, but in the run home Kerehone challenged him. and tho favourite only won by a head. Golden Petal was two lengths away, and then came Sir Agneß. Tho Liverpool Handicap saw several 01 the runners well in the market. Eymarty waßitho favourite at tho finish. Sho bo gan smartly, and led Astinomb and Royal Exchange into the courao proper. Parisian Diamond then appeared on the outside, and in a good finish ho beat Royal Exchange by a neck. Orowhurßt was a length away, and then came -Hymarty. Thero were seven runners in tho Hack Stueplcs, Bill and Sturdeo being the favourites. The race was a chapter of accidents. aa Notability ran oft and Mattock. Mead, and Ngakanui fell. £iHand Sturdeo wero clear of the field over the last mile, and though Sturdeo outjumped his rival, R. Thompson persevered with his mount, and after a creat finish he won by a head. Nicomar finished, third a furlong away, and beat Ngakanui, who was ridden home by an outsider; , Molyneaux and Utuwai divided favouritism for tho Crofton Handicap, for which Sir Fanciful was the only withdrawal. The Digger led for two furlones, when liltlera took charge and led Morthencs and Ben Bolt into the straight. Two furlongs from home Printcmps moved Into the lead, but over the last fifty yards he had to bo kicked right out to beat Molynoaux, who finished within a neck of the winner. Ben Bolt was third, and then carae Bitters and Utuwai. The brncketod pair saw a very short prtco in the Steeples, in which Lochclla, Sturdee, and Wirokino were withdrawn. Harbour Light and Foeman made the running for a mile, when Foeman got. rid of his rider. At the wator jump the field was bunched, and Gladful took charge golnir out of tho straight, with First Line handy, and Guanaco moving up. Jlowti tho back the two- were together and were all hard at it. First Lino had tho mastery an tho-last fcnco was approached, and after a good finish he won by a length from Guanaco, with Gladful well bs.ck. Ormeßbj' fell. Dainty. Stop was favourite in the big handicap, but there waß plenty of support lor Gold Kin and soveral of the others. Prince Hal led a bunched field down tho back with the two favourites and All Over in tho rear. At the halfmilo Bagdad and' Goldshlne ran to tho leader. Entering the, straight Arch Salute took charge, and a.' furlong from homo he seemed to have the race won, but Gold Kip finished very fast, and the judge a.warded'ft 'dead heat. All Over came from a loner way baok and got third place. Goldshlne was the next to finish.

RANCITIKEI STEWARDS' APPEAL. Thu Judicial Committee of the Racing Conference last week considered an aippcal by the Eangitikei Racing Club against a docision of the Wnneanui District Committee. which held that the Rangitiitei stewards made an error of judgment irydebarring Yankee Jack and Hauta.wa from starting in the Maidrn Hack llaco at, the club's meetini; on March 25 last. The .iudges (Sir George Clifford, the Hon. E. Mitchelson. and the Hon. 0. Samuel) ruled that as the race in question was n, flat race, the fact that- each of tly. horses had won an advertised stake exceeding 25 sovs. in a hurdle raco was not mater, la]. They, therefore, dismissed the appeal, and affirmed the decision of tb.o Wanganui District - Committee.
