RACING AT TRENTHAM

SPLENDID WEATHER A BIG ATTENDANCE Although a few clouds hung about this morning they mattered little to the army of Wellingtonians and visitors who wero bent on seeing the race for the "Wellington Cup and ether interesting events of the Wellington Racing Club's Meeting. Quite early a move was made to Trenthani, and it was evident tLats. the attendance was going to bo particularly good. Tho grounds and enclosures show decided signs of improvement and care, and before very long Trentham wilVnot be all efficiency in its buildings and course, but it will have a reasonable amount of floral decoration as well. The course was hard and fast, and trainers looked long and often at the clouds. Following are the details of the racing up to the time of going to press: — TRENTHAM HIGHWEIGHT HANDICAP, of 260. soys; second 40 soys, and third 20 soys from the stake; minimum weight 9.0; one mile. 6 J, J.

First Sight was a very pronounced favourite, with Airtight, the eventual winner,. at a good price. First Sight delayed the start, and was slow away, Amorist leading out with Flying Shot from Airtight, Botowhero, and Greengrocer. Amorist and Flying Shot led across the top from First Sight, Botowhero, and Airtight, with Sneerer losing a good position. Amorist, Airtight, First Sight, Botowhero, and Flying Shot were the first to turn for home, and Amorist failed under pressure, Airtight coming on to win by half a length. Amorist just beat First Sight by half a head for second, with Historic fourth and Greengrocer, Botowhero, and Mandarine next. Time, 1 mm 42sec. , . (Winner trained by J. Fryer, Hawcra.)

Paganelli and Childsplay, from, the, extreme outside, were soon in front,'and they led on to thecourse proper from Prince Humphrey, Staghunter, Golden Armour, and Baskiex. Childsplay was under pressure to go with Paganelli at the false fail; and a little further on the was beaten.: Prince Humphrey then ranged up with Paganelli, and Gascony put in his appearance. Paganelli lasted long enough to beat Prince Humphrey by a.neck, with Gstscony half a length away third.: Childsplay "was two lengths away, just ahead: of Golden Armour and Staghunter. Time, 59sec.

Lady Limond, of course, was favourite, with Goshawk the only other backed solidly. Goshawk was rather slow to find his'feet, and Blimp showed out first from Amor, Wild Work, The Swell; and Lady Limond. Lady Limond waa soon ridden to tho front and led across the top from Wayward and Starflight, then at intervals coming Goshawk, Wild Work, and Ladykiller. Lady Limond was lengths clear at the turn, and her youthful rider, using his whip all the way to tho post, kept his six lengths advantage, and Lady Limond won, or rather spread-eagled her field. Goshawk finished on to beat The Swell by. half a length, and then came Arikiwai, with Blimp, and Wayward next. Time, lmin 25Jsec; (Winner trained by A. M. Wright, Foxton).
