BOOSTER COMPLETES SOUTHERN DOUBLE

It:, is.' doubtful if weather conditions could, have been improved upon yesterday ;at Trentham for the opening of the Wellington Racing Club's Summer Meeting. .A light breeze from the northwest was almost imperceptible and would probably not have been noticed but for tho smoke blown across the course from a nearly chimney. The racing track was hard: arid fast and improved by a heavy shower.: of rain which fell early in the. morning. Although there appeared to be a 1 yery;. good attendance, the tqtalisator' business,'showed a decline of from £48,819 last year to £47,193. Possibly three big dividends may have accounted for this, two of them in the two biggest betting races of the day. Altogether a sovereign invested on every winner would have shown a return of over £73. "

Mr; H. Coyle's handicaps in addition tovpuzzling backers, set the judge, -Mr. W-. P; Russell, a stiff task, and there were a number of cases of margins o£ inches 0n1y,.-;/;;'. ... _ ' \ . Rapier, although he Bprang a mild surprise inthe Wellington Cup, was not by any means absolutely neglected, and it was'evident by the many Southerners who- supported him that his win was freely anticipated. From all the „news that has been received from Southern .training tracks during the past week or two the general public had little encouragement to be on Rapier. ; However, he appears to have a weakness for Trentham whether it be as hard as a board or if there is mud to his knees. ' He won two races last July at Trentham, one the Parliamentary Handicap, in Very bad ground, while yesterday's conditions were the complete opposite.,; After his failure in the Manawatu, Cup he went on and scored: at Feildihg, and despite a reported cold'.rthat form was not encouraging for a Wellington Cup., W. Brown rode him yesterday like a veteran, from -start to finish". 'This is the lad who scored on Comic-Song in the.C.J.C. Stewards' Handicap/'^vhen he returned tHe sensational dividend two years'ago. Rapier is about the:.best of Greyspear's stock to race. Booster, who won the Telegraph' Hanv diejipjrran a great race into fourth place in :the.i-Stewards' Handicap at Riccarton last November,'' and although he has shown; fan*: form'>einpe then, yesterday-was the. ;,fir,st* ; time, he.r quite repeated ■ it.:, He .is. a. useful'looking gelding by iSolferino .from Pace, andone who should:go on and do better things yet. He is yeally a West. Coaster, which reminds one of the!> representative nature of the winners, ini'addition there being Outfit from Tren-t-ham,' Limited ■ and Thaw ' from Wanganiii, Stormy,land- Ring: the Bell from Auckland, Rapier from: Christchurch, and Starboard- Ligh'tfrom Hawkes Bay.

;-.. B. Browne, the apprentice' rider of Pangolin, was ; suspended. for a , month for careless riding in the Apprentices' Plate. Nothing further was reported to the Press in connection with this or other matters. Under, the'present system of control the way of the. apprentice and unfashionable jockey is hard. '

Meetings at tTrentham stand out in most respectß as models^ of management, but the delayed action in regard to the closing of the totalisator is -unbecoming for a big metropolitan club with!an electric machine. '•'■ '-.■'.''■ '■-...'-.

TRENTHAM HIGH .WEIGHT.

Track work at Trentham pointed red hot to Outfit being hard to beat, and after being nicely placed all the way he scored in good style from Oriflamb, who appears to be an improved gelding. Oriflamb had been out forcing the pace with Alaric practically, all the way, and this enhanced the value, of his effort.' It is worthy of nbte\ that according to the official timekeeper Outfit, 9.12, went half a second faster than Ring the Bell, 8.2%, the winner of the Anniversary Handicap. .

Mint Leaf was most unTucky. He jumped out well, but immed::iely was cut right back to last. He finish :i at a great rate and may make amends ■•later- at'the meeting. ..;"'■■.■ ;/ , ' , ;; .'., •, rah a useful race, and both he; and Bennanee were showing -up more at the end than at any other part of- the race. Alaric and Kilmiss botHfaded put when serious business commenced, Tannadice ran quite a fair race after beginning' Blowly. : ■ ■ . ;- . . "■ -.'■'. .

WELLINGTON STAKES.

•Making Lysander such a decided favour-, ite with 9.6 to carry did not appear sound; judgment on the part of backers, .for.it" seemed fairly obvious that; he had not. quite recovered from his hard race in the Great Northern Derby. In addition he, had to give away lumps of weight to 'somesmart gallopers. He failed to begin;with his usual brilliancy, and although V he might have \Yon at six furlongs, he had no chance with Limited and Silver 'Mine at five. .■'..■■■ '■. . ,'■-."

Limited won his second Wellington Stakes in record time for the race, the 58% seconds being,a fraction better thau the 58 3-5 seconds of Gloaming and Eational. He began well and had too much in reserve for Silver Mine, who ran an excellent race, under difficulties at the end. His rider, T. Tito, broke a stirrup leather, and naturally was of not much use to his mount,-.but despite this Limited pVobably would have won anyway. High Finance was unlucky. She provided some excitement by bolting prior to the race, and then at the actual start appeared to be hampered by Lysander. Contrary to custom she was ,practically last ■ away. . '■ Sir George Clifford has a very promising two-year-old in Sudden Storm (Autummis—Helter Skelter). She was having her first race, ylet, showed a ton of speed. Auratutn faded out at the end, and Lorna Doone was never in the pictura. .'■:■■

APPRENTICES' PLATE.

The only remarkable feature of Stonny[s victory was the liberal price, for his chance was in reality an odds-on one. At no stage of the race did he look like getting beaten, and although Assurance and Queen's Choice closed on him in the straight, one kick from his rider and ha was going away again. He is too classy for hack fields at set weights.

Assurance and Queen's Choice were both unlucky.. Assurance was sent back from No. 1 at the barrier and Queen's Choice also was in the rear division r early in the race. Both finished well ajjd Queen's Choice in particular looked as if the race would improve him. He might be a decided Douro Cup possibility.

Battle .Colours held a prominent position all the'way and should win a hack race before his return home. At the false rail it looked. ns if he would come on, but he weakened again and finished a very fair fourth. Horomea was more prominent at the end than at any other stage. She is a-smart galloper. Aston is not quite seasoned enough yjjj;, but there is no doubt about his galloping * ability.'

Bank Note was beaten by the distance Black Mint was noticed going well crossing the top, but he is not a boy's horse.

FITZHERBERT HANDICAP,

Thaw was responsible for a really good performance. He drew No. 16 at the barrier, and was very wide out at the start. He did not come into the picture until very late, yet was going great guns at the end.-He stayed on too well for Melissa, who was more advantageously placed at the barrier"! Melissa showed plenty of pace and stuck on too well for the rest of the early leaders.

The Paper Money—lsabel gelding Otairi ran a very respectable race, and almost beat Melissa. He looks like being above the average, foi; he was not sighted early. Panther;; Polydectes, and Eeckless all ■stopped over the last .furlong. Panther befing the'only one to finish up close behind

the pladed horses. Tone and Chips ran fair races, but the most Jik'ely^orie to improve is Otairi.

WELLINGTON CUP,

Rapier appeared to be favoured with a good run right through the race, and it must!be said he stuck on very well When tackled by Te Monanui. ■ Te ,-Monanui, on the contrary, did not have such a smooth passaged He made a fast run round the top tnrn, and Momentarily at the false rail it looked as: if he would come on ■and win.: The effort was just too .much at the end, and Rapier held him off to win by inches.^ Te Monanui should be a better "horse next time out." .

Rapine:ran, a great race -with his 10.2, and soundly.. defeated his bracket mate Star Stranger,:-who' gave an inexplicably bad performance. Rapine was still practicallylast iwith little more than two fur-

longs to go, so some idea can be gained of how'he finished, v

Footfall appeared to be one of the unlucky ones; and he finished, too, with plenty^ of'dash. He had a good position early, but losCit, and this might have cost him the race. '

Hynanna was not sighted early,: yet finished well in fifth,; place, showing that therev was nothing misleading about his good ;'track form. . Piuthair finished up in sixth,place, after being, sent back to the rear in the scramble in the .first two furlongs. Mask appeared to be ridden withi poor judgment in being asked to force.the pace .with Fresco nearly all the way.. Under the circumstances he ran a good face.. ' . : ......

, Count Cavour failed miserably, ..for at the turn he was beautifully placed; yet when it came to racing home ho dropped fight, 'outof the picture. Civility, Merry Bay,; and Mandane always occu-

pied rearward positions. Clarinda faded out in the last two furlongs, up to which point she had run really well. Fresco had the usual fate of a pacemaker, and Eoyal Mint was too impatiently Handled. He went from last to the:leaders*in*twq furlongs. ' ' ; ■" ■

ANNIVERSARY HANDICAP.

King the Bell changed J. T. Jamieson's luck, and moreover he won rather •well, always being nicely placed. Penman stuck on, but had no chance with the winner, while Joy Bird rattled on at the end. ; Decoy Bird" was a quiet tip.'^but he is a big gross horse, and maybe he will be better next time put, preferably at seven furlongs. Centrepiece rah well to the false rail, where he was be"aten, and probablyhe will do better later at the meeting. The race should improve him a good deal.

enviable.ten minutes. It is to be hoped that he is not "given any further opportunity for demonstrations of this kind. What the people who invested £863 on his chance thought can be left to the imagination.

The three placed horses, Booster, Paperchase, and Corn Money,; drew Nos. 14, 4, and 17 at the barrier respectively. N The luck o£ the race seemed to be with them, however, for there seemed to be some crowding near the rails, from which Paperchase escaped, and, the other pair were, naturally^ well clear .of it. Booster still had. a fair amount of leeway to make up over the last furlong, but he settled to his task in great style, just getting up to beat Paperchttse by a head. : Paperchase vran another of her solid races, reminiscent of her dam. Corn Money showed remarkable brilliancy to get so far •in front at the juuetion of the course proper from No. 17 at the barrier. More patiently handled he might have won. . ■

Shirley ran a great race all the way. Reremoana was going on at' the end, and so was Grand Knight, the latter particularly so, and his prospects o£ a win at the meeting look bright. Lady Cavendish and The Hawk did not really threaten danger,. while Royal Damon lost his chance at barrier-rise.

Mimetic ■was with tie leaders at the tur-n, but punctured badly. As he look-

Ed and appeared to pull up well, his complete failure is hard to understand.

High Pitch was going on at the end, and possibly he suffered, when L'icinius met trouble. Deluge and Cawnpore were not sighted, and Benzora did not take a prominent place at any stage. The English mare Ballymoy 11. was the worst victim of the scrummaging, for she had a tendon^practically cu t through, and only with difficulty could be removed from the course. According to report it will be a long time before she races again, if ever.

Starboard Light has been heralded from Hawkes Bay for some time as a really good galloper, and No. 16 at the barrier did not prevent him from winning easily. On the contrary, it is certain that the inside running did much to secure second place for that great beginner Lady Ideal;

Vesperuß was noticed-running on well at the end. .'He might be worth rcmernbering for a hack race at the meeting. Kosenor and- Great Day both ran very fair races.' Gold Mint finished -very fast,' and King's Folly was not disgraced by his performance, for his cerise jacket was: prominent from, stant to-finish. Not much can be-said for any.of the others, except that Dimmer showed some speed early, .and Kilmezzo met with plenty of trouble, and might 'do a great Seal better very sbon.^ . . . ■ ..■•'.,:

CONCLUDING- RESULTS

Following are the description of races decided after yesterday's "Post" -went to press:—. ' ' /'■ ,

The Kapine-Star Stranger bracket was a good favourite for the Wellington Cup, being .supported by nearly 500 tickets more

than Te Mpnanui. Rapier was at a joy price. Piuth'air, Civility, and Bapine show-: ed out first, but some of the outside horses closed in very quickly, and there was a scrummage opposite the. main stand in which, the early leaders suffered, Fresco .and Mask taking up the running from .Count Cavour, Clarinda, Footfall, Piut,hair, and Bapier, with Star Stranger, Eapine, and Eoyal Mint last. At the mile post Fresco and Mask were showing the way to Clarinda, Count Cavour, and Bootfall, with Eoyal Mint moving up fast. Six furlongs from home Mask and Fresco were clear of Eoyal Mint, Count Cavour, and Clarinda, with Eapier hat-dy. Eapier moved up crossing the top, and then Te Monanui came into the picture, Eapine and Star Stranger being last of the main body, and Star Ranger tailing off. Eapier ran up to Fresco and Mask at the turn, and came away with. Te Monanui in hot pursuit and I®.#ff c WJ^^giP great work on the ont•side togero'er^wifliTFqqtfaH.' In a great

finish Kapier beat Te Monanui by a nose, with Racine two lengths away third, a neck in front of Footfall. Hynanna was fifth and Piuthair and Mask next. The first half-mile took 53sec, and five furlongs lmin 6sec, making Rapier run his last seven furlongs in lmin 26see. •

RING THE BELL AT LAST. Inferno enlivened proceedings prior to the Anniversary Handicap by-bolting three miles. He was then taken to the barrier, but whipped round and took no part in the race. Ring the Bell wound up a slightly better favourite than Centrepiece. Centrepiece, was the 'first to move from Ring the Bell and Decoy Bird, but racing down the back and across the top Penman led King the Bell, Centrepiece, Decoy Bird, and Joy Bird. Penman still led at the turn from King the Bell, Decoy Bird, and Centrepiece. The last-named was beaten a furlong from home, and King the Bell beat Penman to the post by three-quarters of a length. Joy Bird was three-quarters of a length away third, and Perle dc Leon, Decoy Bird, and Centrepiece followed at intervals. ANOTHER FOR THE SOUTH. High Pitch was always favourite for the Telegraph Handicap, but it was a good, betting race, with the eventual winner, Booster, at a very long, price. Corn Money, on the outside, began best from. Paperchase, Shirley, Mimetic, Licinius, and Booster, with Royal Damon last. Licinius was interf ei ed with and sent right back, and racing on.- to the course proper Corn Money led' Paperchase, Mimetic, Shirley, Booster, and High Pitch. Mimetic was beaten at the false rail, and Booster went in pursuit of Corn Money and Paperchase. Paperchase headed Corn Money, blit Booster finished best, and beat Paperchase by a head. Corn Money was half a length away third, with Shirley right up fourth. Then came , Grand Knight, Reremoanai High Pitch, The Hawk, Royal Damon, and Mimetic. A COMPLETE SURPRISE. , Kflmezzo was a good favourite for the Ruapehu Handicap, with good support for Royal Picture and King's Folly. Dimmer, Lady Ideal, and King's Folly began best and led on to the course proper, with Starboard Light, Minotug, vesperus, and Kilmezzo handy. Starboard Light came fast in the straight and beat Lady Ideal by a length, with Vesperus half a length away third. Gold Mint was fourth and King'B Folly, Rosenor, and Great Day next.
