TIMABU BAOES. [Special to tub ‘ Star.’] Tho Timaru Autumn Meeting was hold in fine weather, and on a very hard course. L. C. Hazlett’s horses narrowly missed winning three races, and had; M’Mullan, on Hereweare, not pushed Lomagundi put in tho run from the last fence tho treble would have came off. It was a surprise to most people present that tho stewards did not take action. Loughrca’s and Palencia’s wins wore well merited, and the former’s performance stamps him as ono of the best handicap horses in tho South Island. He was always well placed, and when called upon for a final effort won vexy easily in fast time. Pnlencia was ridden very judiciously in the Steeplechase, and much credit must bo given to Ellis for his riding. Pull Swing was badly galloped on in tho Electric Slakes, and the injuries received may necessitate her retirement from the track for a year. Avispado’s win in the final event* was full of merit, and placed most southern owners in a good financial position for the dav. Warhaven went down very scratchily, hut ran a very honest race. Glenshine’s breakdown is serious, and will necessitate a long spell. Rorko’s Drift end Almoner were always tailing oIF in tho Doncaster Welter, and finished 100yds behind the placed horses. Glenshino was favorite in the Tekapo Hurdles, with Apex next. Then came Meteorite, Lofraagundi, and Hereweare (Campfire —Matator mare, A. M’Mullau) next in order. Hereweare led Bod Pal to the stand fence. Then Apex and Meteorite went to the front, the latter losing his position at the hurdle near the seven-furlongs post, and falling at the next. At the far turn Hereweare went, to the front again, and led Bed Pal and Lomagundi by ten lengths into the straight. Lomagundi was within two lengths of him at the last fence, Ellis taking him up on the inside of Herewearo, but got blocked at the distance post, and had to come on the outside of Heroweare. Lomagundi just failed to get up again by a short head, Mandrake’ three lengths off third; Orange Bitters, Bed Pal, and Apex next. Glenslnno broke down after going five furlongs, and was pulled up.

After going two furlongs Carmine took charge, and led Linhope and Contempt to the far turn, and just a little further on Linhope got chopped back.

Aimclo led Boadicea passing the stand, and going out of the straight Ixmglmsa got a gone! nm on the rails, and turned into tho bade stretch just in' behind Angelo and Castellan, who were in charge. This was tho order all along tho hack, tho favorite, Loughrea, haying home Kid and Boadicea on terms wita him, and the leaders ran in this order till heads were turned for home, where tho favorite headed .Some Kid and Boadicea, and, leaving iho rails for tho first time, headed Angelo and Castellan at tho distance post, and went on to win very easily by over a length from Angelo, who beat'Castellan by a neck for second money; Whipping Boy, Some Kid, Miss Camouflage, and Boadicea next.
