Jin- Mini of £oilO mum piib»ud tliiou^b Iliu lolulimitor, making a total of JJ9UIB lur the meeting. This amount is JD36I more thnii lout your. Tho munugumont of (ho meeting was veiy biiucessful, and Mr. (J. Death was an obliging Acting-Secretary. The starting wits very poor, and it is time the stewards got some one to do the starting who knows his business. Messrs Langly Bros., of Foxton, were deservedly well patronised at the luncheon booth, and Mr. J. W. Proctor, of the Club Hotel, Marlon, did good business at the grandstand bar. Tho sport was again very interesting, which reflected credit on tho club's successful luindicupper (Mr. J. E. Henrys). In the opening event IJimulaya got v break on his fiold at the start, and !cd all the way. There was v good fight for second honours between Gold Spue and Armadillo, the former just beating the Lukeshell colt. Aide-de-Camp, when holding a commanding lend in the Huia Handicap, shut up at the home turn, and the Taranaki pair, Loch Erin and Convoy, had the finish to themselves. Loch Erin winning with a 4 bit in hand. There van a rattling finish for tho Telegraph Handicap, Waitoa, Lissa, Nioiti, and Mussel being separated by noses. It appeared from the stewards' "stand, which is right behind the winning post, that I tho first two horsos wore. Waitoa and Lissa, but the judge placed Lissa first and Nioiti second. An outsider in a | neat Vanguard gelding (Aituu) triumphed in the Second Hack Hurdles, winning easily from Old Gun and Osborne. Mangaiera, tho favourite, may do better later on. Before the race started the club was served with a notice to withhold the stake if Mangulera won, a disI puto having arisen us to ownership. Hinetaura held Chasseur very safe in the last furlong of the Railway Handicap, the others having no chance. Katrioim [ had a runaway victory in the Ohau Han- ! dicap, her form being a long way ahead of that exhibited on the first day. Hard-, work was stopped on the post from gettint? third place. The favouiite, Blue Spur, got a break on at the start of the Scurry, but ho stopped coming round tho bend, and then got interfered with.
