AT ADDINGTON

TERENCE DILLON'S SURPRISE

TAMERLANE A GOOD TROTTER

(By Telegraph,—From "Vedette.")

The usual holiday crowd thronged the enclosures at Addington yesterday, and at the half-sovereign totalisator windows there was plenty of congestion. A hot nor-wester prevailed in the morning, and although the wind swung to the south later in the afternoon, the day remained bright and-fine, if cooler. The track was not so fast as on the second day of the meeting. The totalisator returns for the day were £69,112, compared with £07,725 Jast year,, making the total for the meeting £201,312, or £25,301- better than last year. \ Terence Dillon, a fresh horse, beat the class horses in the handicap, and T<lmerlane registered' an impressive performance to beat the straight-out trotters. The Free-for-AH went to the Palmerston North owned and trained Padlock, who completed a North Island triumph at Addington in the class events. GOVERNOR'S HANDICAP. Peter Lin finished second to Lazarus on the second day, and went one BetteV by succeeding in this event, after leading the field practically the whole way. The South Canterbury trotter is in fine form at present, and as he is a good stayer he may win a two-mile race before long. Len Wood trotted a solid race. He was behind Peter Lin all ttie way, and he put in a\ determined dash in the last fifty yards, but could not quite catch his rival. Len Wood is by El Carbine, who was a good trotter when racing. • ENFIELD HANDICAP. Billy Sea has been racing very well of late over all distances. He showed exceptionally good, form at Greymouth on the second day, when he ran prominently in the class event won by Bessie Logan Nelson Price keeps up his reputation by ?ettmg old and somewhat unreliable horses to show their best form. Billy bea beat Loch Moigh, who is owned in Palmerston North, and for some time the J-,? ,?.?, rses were in tne same ownership till Billy Sea was sold to a Canterbury owner As Billy Sea is a very sound horse he may win more races for his astute trainer. Loch Moigh is a fine saddle horse, and speed is his chief asset. He put up a good race, but had to be. content with second to Billy Sea, who was in front all the way. Loch Moigh has some smart performances to his credit, and appears to be just coming to his best form again. CHRISTCHURCH HANDICAP. Kingcraft and Dundas Boy were both very heavily backed, with the winner Terence Dillon, at double figures. Roi \ ImPrint, Dundas Boy, and Kingcraft all began slowly. Daphne de Oro ed for a circuit from Terence Dillon, Roi I Ory Dundas Boy, Logan Park, Waitaki Girl, and Kingcraft. Kohara broke up m the straight and dropped back to the rear of jne field with Quality. Logan Park and[Roi lOr led passing the stands the ne^t time from Terence Dillon, Daphne vr\ • S? Dunda£ Boy» and Kingcraft. Roi lOr Terence Dillon, Dundas Boy, Kingcraft were the leaders at the half-mile: and pacing to the turn Terence Dillon went up to Roi lOr and'beat him home by two lengths. Dundas Boy was two lengths away third, with Kingcraft .a similar distance back fourth. Daphne de Oro and -bosan Park were next Terence Dillon and Roi lOr were the tresh horses of the field/ and this stood ■o them.Jor it was obvious that Dundas Boy, Logan Park, and Kingcraft were ieehng their earlier races. Kingcraft began well enough compared with the first <iay. but there was no ating in his finishl nf !rn°'i n?- in that of D™das Boy. Wairaces kohara, and Imprint went poor AUSTRALASIAN HANDICAP. After several disappointments, chiefly on account of his. failure to go away right at the start, Akron showed that his previous backjng was justified by winning in-good style, after bemg in front all the way He is a.big feelding; by Omako, a Harold JJUlon horse who has not had many of his progeny racing Aleron, like his sire, s a fine stayer, and: when he becomes rehable at the start he will win in much better company. He is trained at AdPg vP by r,G- M' Kendry, who drove him golden Ore "created a surprise by finishing second, in which he was running hVhflv fl 6 I 6", in, J - good style- He is E f™^ n £ shed Siding by Rey de Oro from Golden Pippin, and although somewhat slow at the beginning of his races he n P «rf «T°T'l 68 WHh eaee- Had he been hfmf fcf 6J eader T* the last half-mile he might have made him go faster. He paid a good dividend for second place. MIDDLETON HANDICAP. prn a v^eriane-' vk° finished second to Westto, & ** c ■ D°mini°n Handicap and e?ent ™ m th% ? ile and a half tfrn™ ? e -i Becond ■ dav > was made a strong favourite, and he won decisively He is a fast trotter by Petereta, and is owned and trained by A. E. Burrell, who drove him. For a long time after being first raced Tamerlane seemed to go very sore and great difficulty was experienced m getting him to stand a preparation. He now seems to be sounder than ever, and he should go on to further successes. Western Voyage put up another good race. Jie won the Dominion Handicap on the first day, finished second to Koro ifeter in the Sockburn Handicap on the second day, and occupied a similar position behind Tamerlane in his final effort. The Australian-bred trotter has never been m better form. 'HORNBY HANDICAP. Hector's Own paid a big dividend. She is by Sir Hector and must be about the last of that sire's progeny who is now racing. She. has a lot of speed, but is not a good stayer. For some time past she has been trained by'R. Townley, who is usually associated with trotters. Hector's Own has been racing for a long time, and has shown very poor form, especially in two-mile races. Granite City lost his position along the back stretch, but came fast over the last furlong, which gave him second place. He is a useful performer over short courses. Great Logan seems to have lost some of his dash over shor.t courses. He was well backed and had every chance, but could do no better than third. He is a strong powerful pacer by Logan Pointer. --. LYTTELTON HANDICAP. Muriel De Oro, who won the Riccarton Handicap the first day, and was second to Sunshower in the Metropolitan Handicap on Thursday accounted for this event m good style, and therefore has raced consistently at the meeting. She was hard put to it to beat Jean M'Elwyn in her final effort. Jean M'Elwyn, who finished secondV seemed to have, been kept too far back over the last mile. She had to make up too much ground over the last half mile and failed to catch the winner. Jean M'Elwyn has raced very consistently at the meeting. FREE FOR ALL. Peter Bingen naturally was backed as if the r*ce was all over, but Padlock lumped 01-t first ani led all the way. He was followed by Prince Pointer and Logan Park, with Peter Bingen, who was slow to move, at the stands. Peter Bingen was held in a pocket behind Padlock by Prince Pointer and Logan Park until right into the straight, and when he shot clear it was too late. W. Hughes on Padlock, was putting his whip away ds they passed the post to .beat Peter Bingen by two lengths. Logan Park was half a length away, third, with Author Jinks and Native Prince well back next. Padlock won well and the confident action of his driver at the finish, aroused much amusement^ Peter Bingen received a bad run, and possibly if he had received an opportunity' sooner he would have won. At the same time it is no certainty he would have beaten Padlock.

Logan Park finished well aud Author Jinks did well considering ho began slowly. Prince Pointer showed pace for a mile.
