A SOLID PERFORMANCE

-■? Acrowrtilla put up a solid perlorm- '• ance in winning his second race at meeting to the Macara Hack Han- . ;dicap. He was last to leave the barrier .:4rom the-.outside marble, but at the :■ end of a furlong he moved up smartly and was already on the outer of two leaders, Le Toquet and Aube, r-as they swung into the straight. Le '..Toquet contested every inch of the ".long stretch home, but Arrownilla had •his rival measured at the last furlong and he stuck on to beat him by a head. Arrown|Ua's trip north, from Christchurch turned out profitable for his '"". connections, who may be a long time in receiving such an opportunity again. j; He. is a typical son of Arrowsmith, low set and not very big, and he gallops ' .underneath with the smoothest of acv.tion. It would not surprise to find him -rising to open class at the smaller X meetings before the season closes „,■; Le Toquet improved with his first . race, being in front at once and '-'fighting to the death. Golden Ridge, wh6 appeared in trouble on the fence ..after, a furlong, attempted to come "' through on -the* inner in the straight, ■ : but he-later tired and was beaten for ~4hird money by Mister Quex. Aube = -dropped out in the home run. In the •- prelfminaiy Hunting Spy broke down ~ .ana permission was secured to take •„. her out of the race.
