COMBINED HUNTS

STEEPLES TO RAZOR

FLAT RACE TO ORAPAI

(Special from "Hurry On.")

NEW PLYMOUTH, September 1

There was a large attendance for the concluding clay of the combined meeting of the Taranaki and Egmont-Wangamu Hunt Clubs, though not so large as there woukl have been had the morning been more promising as regarded weather. There was a thick misty rain in the morning, but it cleared away,/ and the afternoon proved fine and pleasant.

The totalisator returns wore £7102 10s, against £6434 10s, for the Taranaki Hunt Meeting last year. The aggregate for the two days was £ 13,176 10s, compared with a total of £9026 10s for the two meetings held separately last year. « After being well back in the early stages erf the Hack and Hunters' Hurdle Race, Ruanui moved up at the half-mile, and joining Silent Bill ia the straight outstayed him in the run home. Silent Bill was always nicely placed, and took charge -three furlongs from homo. Count Lendroff was a poor third and Harvest Moon was fourth. . War Eagle fell at the last fence and Ruaform came over on him. Jumping out cleanly, Gold Mission led all the way in the Scurry to score nicely by half a length from Colossal, who put up a solid performance, as he drew one of- the outside places at the ppst. Bay Sand ■ :\vas always in the ipictm-c, and finished a.good, third. Rose Ray,, halfsister to Kiosk, was fourth.' . The favourite, Eara, half-sister to .Awaken, was disappointing, but the race should improve her. , After being m second.place behind Silk Sox nearly all the wayy Tahurangi took charge at the distance in the Waihi Hack Handicap and scored in good style. He is a. half-brother to Mprena, and distinctly promising. Spearform ran a solid race, and Silk Sox hung on well for third place after making- all the pace, laitoru, who was unlucky, was fourth, and St. Glnra,' fifth. .' CUP FAVOURITE FAILS. Currajo.ng was installed favourite in the Hunt Cup, but he was never going kindly, and finished well back. Razor, who fenced, splandidly, took charge live furlongs from home, and stalling ott a ciiailenge from'.'•Lucew won by two lengths. Lucess made; a much-improved showing, and may be coming back to form. -Don Erma was a fair, third, and Sleepy was fourth. Hard Gold fell\when going nicely just .commencing the second round. ■ \Orapai -put up a !fine performance to win the Stratford Handicap. He was lost at the half-mile, but put in a great rim to score narrowly. Cartes -was a little crowded for. room in the straight, otherwise he might have ■ won. Korokio acted as pacemaker, and hung-on. fairly well to get third. Aga Khan, whe-ran a great race into fourth-place,' is rapidly getting bncU to form. .■■■-..'.■ HUKEMANU WINS WELL. Well handled ' by Atkins, Uiikcmami won the Hunters' Flat in good style. He enioyed a good run on the rail?, ;»id came through in the straight to. score ironi. Cynical Kid,,who had run through to the lead five furlongs from home, bttntoft,. •who was not well handled, ; was finishing on in third place. Mnvch Alone was fourth and Bumwodd fifth... ; ~v ■ Superior was a hot order in Uie ; lin.4i, event; but after'.being,in front trom, tlie rise of the barrier was narrowly beatenby Leo Colossus, who finished ,well from fourth place at the turn.'
