NOTES ON THE RACING [By St. Cl.uu.] For the concluding day at Addington there was bright_ sunshine with a north-wester which raised a little dust, and it was found accessary to Irequently water thc_ track during the afternoon. The going was again last, and the racing was interesting, though the holds were not as large as on either of the preceding days. The attendance was very large, and again southern visitors 'were very prominent in the big crowd. The form shown on Thursday worked out well, and three horses—Koro Peter, Padlock, and Maiwhariti (a very much improved horse since going into Tomkinson’s stable) — were again returned winners. Great interest was taken in .-those horses rac-' ing for qualification in the New Zealand Cup, and the three who did will add interest to that race. The wagering was heavy throughout the day, and this was no doubt assisted by all tiie winners but Money Spider being well-backed candidates. _ Mr G. J. Barton scored two good wins with Wilma Dillon and Maiwhariti, and has commenced the present season well, having won three races at the meeting.

Koro Peter, with two previous wins nr the meeting to his credit, was installed n warm favourite for 4he Midwinter Handicap for nnhoppJed trottors, and despite the fact that he put in a bad break for nearly a furlong half a mile from homo he did not lose much ground, and though still about sixth when lie turned into tho straight he buried the others for pace in tho run home, and won a good race by a .length from Duke Bingen, who just beat Young Carbine by a neck tor second money. Tho latter was a good second favourite, and Herhilwin, who acted as pacemaker till a furlong ami a-hali' from home, was third in demand. Tho winner is easily one of the best young trotters seen in the dominion for some years, and his winning time—3min 22 2-ssec—works out at a 2min lusec gait. Investments, £3,043.

The held in the Lightning Handicap was reduced to seven by the withdrawal of High Jinks-mid Nelson i\l‘Cornmck, and the betting urns confined to Chef and Lingfield, the former having just a .slight call when the machine closed, and "Harvest Child was a good third favourite. ' -The latter began tho smartest of the limit horses, and after going a furlong was a couple of_ lengths in front of the favourite and Lingfield. After passing the stand these three ran together into the hack stretch, just in front of Logan Hanlon. Going down tho back Chef dropped back to get from between the other two, and then ran round them and led round the far turn and across tho top. lie was four lengths clear of Harvest Child at tho home turn, and ran in an easy winner by three lengths from Bessie Logan, who beat Logan Hanlon by a length. Lingfield was well beaten three furlongs from home, the early pace being too much for her. Investments, £5,1263.

Under the new system of handicapping Padlock, who won in 4min 21 sec on Wednesday, could not be penalised more than 3sec, and starting off the drain 24sec mark in the National Handicap he was naturally sent out a very hot Favourite and carried considerably more on his chances than either Kingcraft or Terence Dillon, who were evenly hacked, and (Hideaway was. nearly as heavily supported.. The start was a bad one, (Hideaway ami Kingcraft losing a lot of ground; and the favourite went in on the move and was'almost on top of the limit liorses at the end of half a furlong. Daphne dc Oro was the first out, and she led; Terence Dillon, King Pointer., Imprint,, and the favourite over the first lap" ; Then Terence Dillon assumed the responsibility of pacemaker, there having been none on in the first mile, which took 2min 16 2-ssce. Terence Dillon was showing the wav to King Pointer, Imprint, Daphne do Oro, and the favourite at the entrance to the last lap. Once in the back stretch .Padlock moved up into third place behind Terence Dillon and King Pointer, and at the far turn was on their

wheels. ; Terence Dillon was beaten afc the homo turn, where Padlock ran up to King Pointer, who was joined by Quality, and though Padlock only won by a length he appeared to have something in reserve. King Pointer broke' just on the post, and Quality beat him by half a length for second money. Kingcraft, who appeared to cover a lot of extra ground, was fourth,. and Glideaway and Terence Dillon finished together nest. King Pointer, by going 4min 25 2-ssec, also qualified for tne New Zealand Cup. The last mile was run inside 2miu 6sec by the winner. Investments, £7,5645. Padlock pulled up lame after the race.

Only High Jinks was withdrawn from the Federal Handicap, for which the Aucklander, Carmel, was made a very hot favourite, carrying much more than Wilma Dillon and Dilwortb.. Of the others Genuine and Zenith were the best backed. The favourite, who started from the: outside of the limit horses at * the barrier, lost several lengths at the start, and Wilma Dillon afc once went to the front. At the end of a mile Mr Barton’s mare'was three lengths dear of Granite City, the favourite, who had been driven fast to recover the ground lost at the start, and William the Great. The favourite ran into second place going along the back, and at the far turn he looked like a winner, but Wilma Dillon easily held her own and led him into the straight. At the distance post Carmel was in trouble, and Wilma Dillon went on to win nicely by four lengths from Zenith, who beat Dihvorth by two lengths. The latter was lame on pulling up. The favourite was fourth, and Bessie Logan and Downcast next. Investments, £6,8981.

Carmel was the only ..scratching in ilie Heathcote Handicap, and in close I vetting Travis Axworiihy was sent out better supported than Zolla or Linkman, with heavy support also forthcoming for Harvest Child and Glenclg. Jolly Ret failed to go away, and Rebel led out from" Baynut, Desert Star, and Zella. Tho favourite ran up into fourth place at tho end of half a mile, and then there was no change amongst tho leaders until after turning into the straight going along the back the last time, where Harvest Child went up fast on the outside, and at the far turn the favourite, Zclla, and Harvest Child were on even terms. Zclla dropped out before reaching the home turn, and in the run to the post the favourite was inclined to bore in, which made it easy for Harvest Child to beat him by a length and a-half. Linkman, who got a very interrupted passage in the middle distances finished fast mto third piaco four lengths behind the favourite. Aero ami Zella were next. By running third in 4min 25 2-sscc ha qualified for the New Zealand Cup. Investments, £0,7255.

Western Voyage started a few pounds better backed than Bingen Starr in the Addington Handicap for unhoppled trotters, the pair carrying over half the investments on the machine, and Engagement and Native Star were the only others well backed. Bingen Starr went away slowly, and Nisbboru led Le Todd, Bingen Starr, and 'Western Voyage at tiie end of half a mile, witli the back-markers quickly closing up. Thor© was no change in the order of the leading division in the next mile, and entering the back stretch Native Star and Money Spider moved up, the former getting iji'oekoted for a furlong. Then" Engagement went to tho front, and led Money Spider, Lo Todd, Western Voyage, 'and Native Star across the top. Money Spider shook Engagement off at tho top of the straight, and in a splendid finish stayed driven right, out, to heal, Western Voyage by a bare length,, and Native Star was half a length away third.. Engagement, Kemptou, and Lo Todd were next, Bingen Starr, who broke two furlongs from home, being last. Tho winner qualified for tho New Zealand_Cnp by going the two hides in 4miu *25 l-Ssecv Investments, £6,281.

In the Islington Handicap the Uam-am-traiued Nelson dc Oro was made a better favourite than Great Delight or Grand Light, who were evenly fancied, and Sunny Boh and Delightful wore the next best backed of the others. The favourite began tho best, but Nelson de Oro and Delightful van past him after going a couple of furlongs. After passing the stand (half a mile) Delightful went to the front, and led the favourite, Grand Light, Lady Cello, and Curlew Boy. The latter ran up into third place going to tho milo post, and entering the last lajv' tho leaders were Delightful, Nelson do Oro, Curfew Boy, .Lady Cello, and Erin’s Lynn. Great Delight put in a .splendid run along the back, and at the far turn Grand Light and Great Delight ran up to Delightful, and the three ran into the straight in close order, the latter being a little in front. Then Grand Light drew out, and stalling off a good eh alien go from Groat Delight heat him by two, lengths. Delightful was six lengths away third, just in front of Sunny .Boh, Lady Cello, and Locanda Boy. Divestments, £C,BISi-

Only Gilicleaway was withdrawn from the Farewell .Handicap, and in a _good betting race the Aucklander, Native Prince"was the subject of heavy wagering, and the Black Admiral-Western King bracket was a good second choice. Maiwhariti, Jean M'Elwyn, , and the coupled pair, Imprint and Ahuriri, were next fancied in a heavy pool, tlolden Devon Jed out from Black Admiral, Jean M'Elwyn, and Maiwhariti, and excepting that Logunwood ran in to third place at the end of the half-mile there was little change in the leading division, but at the end of the next two furlongs Maiwhariti shot to the front, and before reaching the far turn the race, looked to be all over. The favourite _ was handily placed, being on the outside of three or four sulkies, and the hot pace set by Mr Barton’s gelding made it impossible for Native Prince to get a position. Jean M'Elwyn and Bonny Logan followed Maiwhariti into the straight, but they could make no jin-, ijvre&siou on him, and he won well by four lengths in the fast time of 2min 42sec, better than a 2min IQsec clip. Bonny Logan, desperately driven, just beat‘Jean M'Elwyn for second; money,! and Loganwood and Logan Chief were next Investments, £7,815.

HEAVY-WEIGHT BOXERS HEEMEY AGAIN BEATEN A TECHNICAL" KNOCK-OUT tm» Ansawiilioii—By Telegraph—Copyright NEW YORK, August 15. Campolo (Argentine) weighed in at 2231 b, and Tom Heeney (New Zealand) at 2041 b. Campolo was favourite, Heeney started an immediate body attack, and Campolo retaliated with three hard upper cuts to the heart. They then settled into a fast and furious pace. Campolo rocked Heeney with lefts and a right to the face. Heeney rushed the Argentinian to the ropes. It was Heeney’s round. In the second round Campolo appeared to bo leg weary. _ Heeney,-re-sumed his t boring-in tactics, but the. Argentinian drove a hard right to the face and another that put Heeney on his heels. Campolo was carrying the attack to the New Zealander, and it was his round.

In the third round they were punching hard all the time, both assimilating much punishment. Heeney was rod under the heart from the Argentinian’s punches. The crowd was on its feet applauding the Now Zealander’s mauling of his opponent. It was Heeney's round.

;iu the fourth round Heeney almost floored the Argentinian with a tremendous right to tho chin, Compolo holding on. Heeney kept following his man, who was apparently groggy, and punished him viciously. U was Heeney’s round. In the fifth round Heeney lost his balance and almost fell. Campolo was fighting hack. Both seemed tired. The Argentinian was rocking his opponent, who took everything to get to close quarters. Heeney was bleeding from the loft ear. It was Campolo’.s round.

The sixth round was even, the same exchanges of heavy punching predominating. In the seventh Campolo was scoring with both lists ‘and carrying the attack. He took the round.

hi the eighth round Heenoy's body was badly bruised and be had a slight cut on Ins upper lip. Campolo floored Heeriey with' a right to the stomach, but the latter was up without a count. He was iii bad shape. The Argentinian, however, was slow to follow up the advantage. It was Campolo’s round. In the ninth round Campolo rushed the New Zealander to the ropes with a series of punches lo the head. Tleeney tried boring in, but his punches were very light. Campolo landed a low right and the crowd protested. Tom was very tired and had trouble in staying on'bis feet. Campolo floored Hoency with a bard right upper-cut and nine was counted. He arose and staggered helplessly round the ring, and the referee stopped the bout. The New Zealander’s face was gory as ho was helped through the ropes. Campolo won on a technical knockout. Although 'Heency fought gamely and put up an excellent showing against his towering opponent, the New Zealander seems to be definitely eliminated fnnn the. so-called come-back for the heavy-weight title, according to the consensus of opinion among boxing experts, and Campolo becomes an important factor in the heavy-weight elimination bouts.— Australian Press As,social ion, LAWN TENNIS EASTERN CHAMPIONSHIPS Presi Association —By Tclegraph— Copyright.
