NOTES ON THE SPORT (B* TILIGBAPH-SFrclll, TO THE POST.) DANNEWRKE, 6tli March. The racing was considerably more interesting than that seen on the previous day. Backers were remarkably successful in selecting winners, four of whom returned less than even money, whilst the only one that gave its supporters a moderately handsome return for their investment " wds Ascalon. The dust nuisance was again present, and horses lying in behind others suffered considerably. There was no unpleasantness, but Montreal's owner (Mr. M'Donald) lodged a protest against ICitia, the winner of the principal event, on the ground of interference. ' The incident referred to occurred about 100 yards from the winning post, and when the case WasVgone into it was elicited that Vi left the rails arid. carried Montreal out to Kitta. The protest was then dismissed. The steVai'ds also enquired into the running of Caher Devon, who when ridden by L. Wilson on the previous day, failed to gain a place, whereas to-day, with Deeley up, he won. The explanation tendered wag quite satisfactory. , Even to-day the gelding behaved erratically for some time after leaving the mark, but Deeley eventually got him balanced, and with his previous, day's experience of the rough going to help him; Caber Devon i put in a good run in the stiaight, and got up in time', to beat Axis. Many practical racing men expressed sympathy with Wilson, who was irt t no way to blame for the gelding's failure on Wednesday. Mr. M'Mahon questioned 1\ D. Jones and J. G. M'Cracken in regard to the form shown by Teviotdalo iri the Telephone Handicap. '• The Great Mogul was rather 'bettet fancied than lnvaladdo for the* opening event, and after being one of the first to move he quickly took command, and Went on to score easily by a length. Marble Head was a poor third.- The winner was subsequently purchased by Mr. K. 'Wolland, a patron of Jamieson's stable at' Awapuni, ' tor £200, a price ,-at which he should Wove." "Well bought, for he has size td sflkre and oughfito develop into a g6oA hurdlei* next season, ; "The many fljho noticed that Kitia' r got aii unlucky run on the previous day made him a hot favourite for the Adtumn Handicap, and he duly landed the money. After being the first to-Be-gin Emerson allowed him to drop ■ back third, and Montreal showed the way until about three - furlongs from home, j whefl Vi took charge*. The last-named looked a winner at the distance, but" she i ailed to stay on, and Kiha ran up and beat her decisively by a length and a half. Montreal was three-parts of 'a length away third. Caller Devon and New Guinea gave trouble at the post for the Telephone Handicap, and as the latter would not face the barrier, the others were despatched without her. Martlet led down tile back from Axis and Caher Devon, but she tired when the straight ( 'was entered, and Axis took charge. Deeley then brought tile favourite along, and I got him up in time to win by half a J length. Martlet was, a length and a half further "back. Prior to going' to the post for this event Courtley took charge -of <Bell,.and careering, round the weighing enclosure he bumped into' the side of, the Weighing room, and nearly upset the, judge, , Mr, Hartgill. Fortunately, hdWeVer, no damage -was done. ;The Juvenile Handicap, as anticipated, proved - good 'f6r' Mr. Highde'S's representative, t Betrada, who commenced smartly, leU throughout; and won easily by two lengths. The Summit was three lengths' "away. - When called upon to line«up for -the Mangatera Hack Handicap HaUtU threw her rider (E. Lowe) twice, knocked over A. Hathaway, who kindly assisted to control her, and Anally refused to r allow Lowe to remount. This , performance lasted four minutes, and the remainder of the field were then despatched without her. Eesonant and Crown Battery led until three furlongs from home, when the former drew clear. Settler, who was a screaming hot favourite, was always handy, however, and Deeley brought him along to ■ win very easily. Master Malachi, who bled at the nose' shortly .ai'ter doing his preliminary, Was last throughout. On returning to the paddock he bolted with young Bell, and tho clerk of the course, Ml. lA. Hoake, CjUickly sized up the situation and, after warning those in the. straight, set his horßO going and, catching hold" of Master Malachi's bridle as he t came alongside, assisted Bell to pllll his Wount up. It was a very smart- piece of work and Mi. Roake was applauded. The field for"- the Kaitoke .Welter proved a most unruly one', Nu.umai,,Our Qileeti, and ■ Vibration each giving trouble, whereas .for onco in a <way Ascalon stood; up quietly. There Was a delay of ten minutes, then they v/el'e straightened ' up, arid when i set . going Ascalon moved 'off first, while Naumai got a slight disadvantage.' Going up the back Our Queen ran to the head of affairs with Ascalon:, Vibration, Crown Pearl, and Mon Ami, who was very sore, next in order. Our Queen still held the advantage *-up to. the distance, but Ascalon then sent in his .claim and "won easily' by a length and a-half. The honours rested; of course, with Crown 'Pearl, who did remarkably well to finish a' good' •third under 10.9. Heather went amiss during the race and was eased up. ■ ' ' • The meeting concluded with the Tapuata Hack Welter,- on 'which more money was invested than on any other event during the two days.' Awahou, who stripped Very fit, was -backed first choice, whilst Misty and Huia were well fancied. Top Note and Otama carried on the running down the back and two and a-half furlongs from home they were still in o-ommand, with Misty and Awahou as their nearest attendants. When fairly in the straight Misty ran to the front, but Oliver then moved the top-weight up and landed him a winner

by a neck. Hula was four lengtho away third, and Leonta fourth. E. Lowe leaves Wellington this afternoon for Sydney, With the object of riding E. M. Cameron's horses, Seatondale, Golden Glade, «find St. Elm. Owners and trainers are reminded that entries for the Feilding Jockey Club's Autumn Meeting are due this evening. Jessamiiie, who contested tho last event at t)annevirke yesterday, was offered at auctiorij but, although she was said tc* possess lnrtunierable good qualities, nobody seemed to want her and she was passed in at 25gns. Whilst recounting her excellence the auctioneer (Mr. E. Roake) reminded his audience that in tho concluding event she vrould have the services of the well-known light weight W. Bell, who had been engaged to ride her and woold bo on ber bark. A smile went round and people naturally wondered where els*e Bell was likely to be, but perhaps the remark was intended as a sly piece of sarcasm in respect to the crouch seat. RACING AT FLEMINGTON LOCH PLATE WON BY PIASTRE. By Telegraph.— Press Association.— Copyright. FLEMINGTON, 6th March. The V.R.C. Autumn. Meeting was continued At Flemington to-day in cold, dull, ehoWery weather. There wa6 a strong wind, and the record attendances of the first two days was not repeated, though there was a good crowd in the enclosures. The course wae heavy. Both Government House parties were present. The short races were run on .the turn instead of up the straight. The two most interesting races were the All Aged Stakes and the Loch Plate. Eudorue, who is considered by R. Lewis to hi/ the fa-stest horse the latter has yet ridden, was reckoned to have a mortgage on anything up to a mile. After that his performances are disap- ■ pointing. To-day it was considered that the only horse to have any chance against him in the All-aged Stakes was Cider, if well. It proved a one-horse race, for Eudorus led to the straight, spread-eagled the field, and won in a canter. In the Loch Plate, the meeting of Piastre and Wolawa created intense interest^ the Sydney people hotly favourhag Piastre, and the Melbourne "eports" championing "Wolawa. Piastre's tactics itt the Eesendon Stakes were repeated, Offa being cent out to take up the running, and Piastre running last for about three furldngs. He got the measure of the field at the end of a mile, and led into the straight, Wolawa before that stage being in difficulties. The Sydney horse won ■ handsomely, and Wolawa, who was struggling, failed to gain a place. Sheriff Muir ran a good race. In 1 the River Handicap, the conditions provided that the - lowest handicap weighfc*-be, 7."7. Through an oversight, Mr. Menzi-ee 'adopted the 6.7 minimum, co notices w^re posted notifying that all Weights wereraised a «tone.
