THE SUMMER MEETING

CONTINUED

SECOND DAY'S RACING

,GOOD FIELDS IN ALL EVENTS,

The Wellington Racing Club's Sum-

iner Meeting is . being continued at

Jrentham to-day under conditions that v Jiiffer considerably from those of ■■ the

Bpening day. In: place of hot sunshine, \ihe weather is dull and on the cold side, but the change is not likely to have any disagreeable effect on the day's sport, for the conditions at Trentham this morning were more favourable than in town, and the little rain that had fallen was beneficial rather than harmful to the lawns and track, giving them a fresh appearance without making them sodden and heavy. As far as the racing is concerned the going is improved. The Attendance is far short of that recorded bn Anniversary Day, but it is quite food for an "ofi" day of the Week. The elds are.again large and of good quality, arid prior to the start of the meeting the prospects were, that excellent racing would be witnessed throughout {he afternoon. A number of fresh

horses were engaged, and their presence

Jri the various events gave added interest to the racing and served to make the lot of the speculator more hard.

,T The events to-day included the Wei

lington Racing Club's Handicap, for i there was a splendid acceptance, and the Douro Cup contest, the prin- ' eipal hack event in the Dominion, for "Jphich"there was also a large field. •";'. Music by' the First Battalion .Wellington Regimental Band again added to ■ She enjoyment of the gathering. s"Results of racing up to the time of going to press are as follow: —

Enare, Eonmark, Cara-, wock, and Vagabond '.were also well supportedf After a little uneasiness at the barrier, the field was got away,jin good order, Palamon and Vagabond being first to move.

Much confidence was placed in the. top weight, Kinsem, while Prince Ferouz and Ardour were also' well fancied. Kinsem drew nuhiber 2 position at the barrier, where there was<a little delay before a. good start was effected.. Ardour and Passionless were the first to show up, and the latter quickly assumed • command,, with Koa Tane and Ardour ' 'leading the rest of the field. The positions underwent little change till the field came across the top, where Prince Ferouz and Ardour moved up to the ,-leader;--' Passionless. • In the straight Gray's, ■m.punt^stili had charge, but was called .:;updn' to meet challenges from Prince; : Ferouz, ; Ardour, and Kerb.

For the Trial Plate, the nine acceptors went to the starting post, where Ajax and Sir Pam were nearest the rails. There was fairly good getting, Kaouau, Glimpse, Hall Mark, and Ajax receiving most support, in that order. Ajax jumped out from .the start, but his lead was only temporary, and several horses Were on terms along the back and across the top, among them being Ajax and Sir Pam. Before the straight was reached Hall Mark moved forward and established a good lead, only to lose it through running out wide on entering the straight. Sir Pam and Entre Nous were then best placed and both finished on well to keep clear of Glimpse, and Sir1 Pam won by one and a half lengths. Glimpse was a similar distance away, third. Hall Mark, on the outside was fourth, with Koauau almost on terms. Time, Imin 27 l-ss'ec. ' .
