FORBURY TROTTING CLUB

First Da?.~-Wkbsx3lMY. Fiti* flrea&aer, but the wind was chilly, And mm« important, it did cot *eem to have much drying powei, for the course w»« dead and a bit- stick; in place*. The gate returns showed « larger attendance than on ihe cnsrresponding day of last year. This was a pleaeant surprise to the club. Ii had beaj. feared that the absence oF sportsmen at Timaru i»nd at the Territorial camp »©r'd have caused a reduced minster. Tha totali*ator takings also shaved, an increase, the figures being, £13,587 i, as against £11,4361 last year. Rostrebor, a Waimate hosee that had pre- ■ viously never won anything, got out smartest in the Amateur Handicap, and * after lighting clear of the other limit horses ■ he was never anproached. Nerval King, the favorite, beat all the others about as easily. Bacchus and George M, Junior werei competing for the lead all the way in the Pacific Handicap Bacchus picked up » the (faec he was conceding, but tould not then get clear of George M- Junior, and as they neared the and Bacchus tired, leaving George M. Junior, patiently driven by Mat Dawson, to win easily. The winner is a particularly good-looking horse that may yet do sorcething better. When Knapdale and Glenfoot were collared by Regina Bell© and Kinetic three furlongs from home in the Beach Handicap it seemed any odds that one of the lasrmentioned pair would win. But Knapdale got up « very fine spurt on the top sttuteh and led into the straight, and Begin* Belle's chance was apparently gone, wh*n, six stride* from the post, Knagdale flowed ahncst to a stop, and Hcgina Belle got home by two lengths. The evidence it the htaring of the protest explained Knapdale's peculiar performance. Rejrina Bejle was heW to have interfered with him, and the stewards disqualified her for the **o6> Yarravjlie's backers were unIwcky, for this, horse fiddled away his chance at the post. The Presdertt's Handicap was simply a match between Fr«ndoci» and Bright, and the former, helped by having the inside berth, outstayed the favorite. It was a close finish between them, but many think that Bob Allan on Frapdocia had a little in hand. This gelding trotted very iteadily throughout- The well-backed Dr Chutney reared up and jihbed at the start, and got right in front of Prince Alert, ihe latter getting mth a severe check as to throw- afCarra out of his sulky, but he leaped in 'again like a circus performer. The Trial Handicap brought out a large. ai*d likely field, and produced a surprise. The tjwe-year-ajd "Dot Bobbin* lay handy in all the early stages, and with three fwhmfs to go she cleared out for a Bfck}, landing the biggest dividend of the day. ' The concluding events resulted thus:— 'ST. CLAIB HANDICAP, 110sov»; secend 16|aovs, third &§sovs. Dnhoppled trotters only. 2m. & W. Holmes's Armamenter by Rothschild —Eos, 9sec (A.

Time smin lGsec Boyal Bothschild was the hottest favorite of the day.
