PETER BINGEN'S CUP DERBY TO PURSER (By Telegraph, from "Vedette.") A brilliant day and great racing rewarded patrons o£ the New Zealand Metropolitan Trotting Club at Addingtoii yesterday IE the preliminary heats for the Aew Zealand Trotting Cup were poor aftairs, the final provided a wonderful contest and saw Peter Bingea establish a worlds race record for two miles He showed phenomenal speed over the last mile. All three placed horses strangely enough are owned by North Islander/, but only the winner.is trained in the Aorth He won the New Zealand Trotting <->up lag; year.

At Oamaru on Labour Day he put up quite SnHn Wa ° r H° ' Was unlucky in the Spring Handicap on Tuesday, as he rt' blocked at the start. Lazarus is a good stayer, and he will be found racing well m two-mile events later on. . . Peter Lin, who like the winner, comes lrom bputh Canterbury, was a trifle unlucky in-having to put. up with second Place in. such fast lime. Lazarus and ±;eter lan,,, arc-both by Pctereta, who sired a number of good trotters.. NEW ZEALAND DERBY. Purser made a slow beginning, and was several lengths behind the leader at one stage. Ihomas was content to let him get properly on his legs before sending nun at top speed, and this method proved a wise one Purser is a fine stayer, and this gave him the victory. His s ; re , Alan o War, was one of the gatnest pacers who ever raced in the Dominion, while Pursers dam, Succeed, • could also go two miles. Purser showed line form in his ™e. s as, a two-year-old, but in the Sapling, btakes he refused to leave the mark, and took no part in the race. He is a quality looking pacer, with plenty of stamina, and with age he should make a great two<i?°Pi\ S}-k Put "P a fine race. He led Ine held till near the winning post, when he was jnsfc headed by Purser. Royal Silk is by the American horse, Silk Thread, whom he much resembles. He was bred trained,, and driven by his owner Great Parrish hardly raced up to expectations, or-else he is not quite sue* a good colt as Aucklanders claim.

AxT, Orthy was a good favourite with pilworth at a longish price. Maiwhariti and Travis Axworthy began very smartly and Dilworth was slow to move going right back to^ast.

J. Kerinerley. He paced his first hall-mile in approxima'ely lmin S 2-ssec mile in 2min 11 4-ssec, and mile and a half m 3min 15 3-ssec. His time for.the journey, 4min 18 4-s.»ec,- eclipsed Great Bingen s placed record of 4mjn 19 2-ssee. Logan Park, admirably driven by Tomkinson, just failed over the last bit, and paced a sterling race. Dundas Boy improved on his first day's effort, and finished too well for Imprint. Kohara and Padlock had no chance on the day, and Prince Pointer .was not persevered with over the last part of the race. Kingcraft showed exceptional ppeerl. and had jie gone away correctly there is no doubt he wouM have set the winner a big task. NOVEMBER HANDICAP. Rear Light, the winner, is in C, S. Donald _s stable. He is one of Nelson Bingen s progeny, and he showed early speed,

but was inclined to be very fractious For this reason he has not been raced much, but with age he is improving in his manners. He is a bold, free.pacer, and possesses plenty oB? stamina.' C. Ki u ™ who docs some driving for C. S. Donald' wasiseen to advantage in the aulky. ' Genuine has never looked better'than at present. Until he went wrong several monthsifaso. Genuine gave promise of reaching the best class, and now tl»t he is keeping sound he may go much faster He paced a fine race in the November .Handicap, anff finished with plenty of de termination. He is a half-brother to 1 ursor, the Derby winner, being by Brent Jjocauda from Succeed. Vendome iS a particularly well-mannered mare at Jhe barrier and a quick beginner but she is somewhat deficient in stamim' ahe was driven a very careful race by ■ J. Kennerley, being in front most of the way, but she failed badly in the last fiity yards, finally getting third after looking a certain winner till a few strides from thp post. ■ METROPOLITAN HANDICAP. Sunshower finished second to Muriel de Oro in the Riccarton Handicap on the first day, but sHe turned ihe tables in this race. She came-on the scene in the last lialt-mile, and won impressively Sunshower is owned in Auckland and is train- ' ed here by R. B. Berry She is bred on staying hne 9 being by Sungod from a mare by Wallace L., an American horse who spent most of. his stud life in. Southland. , , . Muriel de Oro put up anothe#good race in finishing second to Sunshower. There were several horses in front of the Rey de Oro mare, and she had 'to fight all through the race for a good position. She finished up well once she got clear in the straight, and h«rs raced very consistently at the meeting. ; SOCKBURN HANDICAP. Koi-o Peter won in brilliant style. Audommiou went away with such a long lead • that it seemed as though he would never be caught. Koro Peter broke once dur- i mg the race, but otherwise trotted very solidly. He is only a four-year-old, and he is likely 4o do a long way better with age. ' Like the previous swinner.. he is owned in Auckknd, but is trained by R. B. Berry at Templeton. Western Voyage, -who won the Dominion Handicap on the first day, showed that there was no luck about his performanej in that event, as he trotted a great race, finishing second to Koro Peter and doing, the two miles in 4rnin 30sec. SPRINTERS' HANDICAP. Jean M'Elwyn, Tom Thumb, Maiwhariti, and the Brentloc-Final M'Kinney bracket were solidly backed. Brentloc jumped out first, and led- all the tray. He was stopping. badly over, the last halffurlong, but hia advantage secured him the race. • Jean M'Elwyn finished on well, and Bessie Logan went a good race. Logan Hanlon, Tom Thumb, and St. Maura collided at' the Btart, and Maiwhariti and Talent were in a mix-up two furlongs from horna. Maiwhftriti was in trquble throughout. He should soon atone. .. ji Bonny Logan was flashing 'up at the finish in fourth place^and Native Prince and Native Chief went sound races.
