JUBILEE MEETING

FEILDING JOCKEY CLUE GOLD CLP GOES TO BLENHEIM. WON BY RABBI CIAI.ABUE WINS STAKES SUCCESS OF THE RAIDER / / Though it, was inconvenient and might have been costly for the Feilding Jockey Club that the weather was showery and windy for the opening day of the Jubilee race meeting on.

Saturday, perhaps it may be conceded it was typical weather for Feilding at this time of the year, and more or less characteristic of our spring race

meetings. Those old members who had attended so many meetings could remember other days when the conditions were far worse, though there were many better. However, tlie

crowd was not seared off by the outlook in th e morning, for the gate receipts tvere up £-50 on thy corresponding (lay last year. The weather improved during the day and finished in sunny conditions.

Under Hie thorough and far-sighted Presidency of Mr. A. E. Sandford, with a competent and enthusiastic team of officials, stipendiary and honorary, the meeting was an unblemished success. Each steward and officer wore a gold badge, and carried his race hook in a special

cover with his name stamped on in gilt lettering. Thy official luncheon was quite a feature, the officers, members and guests having their lady folk with them, tin's graceful addition certainly increasing thy interest and charm of the reunion. There

were many distinguished guests, including the Vice-President of the N.Z, Racing Conference, thy President of the Manawatu Racing Club, representatives of other Clubs, and outside patrons. All owners, trainers, jockeys and visitors were courteously looked after, the officials leaving nothing to chance. The sporting writers who came from a distance and tliosy who were at home - each found a pleasant surprisy awaiting them. For each writer was presented with a book cover with Feilding Jockey Club’s. initials, the jubilee years figures and thy sporting scribe's name stamped on in gilt lettering. The press gang were grateful for this special favour.

At the official luncheon, the President made a crisp and characteristic speech. Air. Sandford said all that wa s necessary and no more. Tie welcomed the Vice-President of the Racing Conference, the representa-

tives of other Clubs, and was par-

tlcul'arly pleased to have the life members of the Club present jand all guests. He asked tin; gathering to drink eontimied success to the Feilding Jockey Club, which had enjoyed 50 years of unbroken progress. The toast was) honoured with enthusiasm.

Details of the racing show that there were good fields and interesting finishes. The gold cup presented by Mr, C. F. Johnston for the winner of thy Jubilee Cun goes to Blenheim, All* ,T. J. Curry's horse Rabbi, trained by R. Alexander and rubier by L. J. Ellis getting home by a clear length. The cup was presented by Mrs. Sandford, Air. Corry’ receiving the warmest; congratulations. Mr. .7. M. Dune's victory, in the Flying Handicap with The Raider was a very popular one, and Mr. C. F. Johnston’s win in I lie last race of the day with Juggle brought to the liberal owner rounds of cheers. The racing was carried through without a hitch, the services of the ambulance being not

required. The Feilding Brass Band was in

attendance, and in addition to providing a spirited programme during

thy afternoon, played in Rabbi to the strains of “See the Conquering Hero Comes," as J. Wahiin led that handsome chestnut colt to the bird cage after the big ; race.

Panther and Merry Mint had good positions, and, Iho Tali slier and Yortigoni bracket were also promi-

nent, Iml nothing had any chance with the winner. I

Paganelli—• certainly ! But the luck of racing was brought home to the hackers of the favourite. Slow at Itie start, which Is unusual. Kailiora taking th { . place. After a furlong Kaihoro had o'big lead from Arrow Zone, Ceremony and Paganelli. When they settled down to enter the straight Kailiora was still away in front and the public were shouting for Paganelli.

A VERY POPULAR WIN The Raider, owned by Mr. Mason Dime, of Feilding, uml well looked after by Mr. .Uurvey Fulcher, was one of the local sports hopes in the Flying Handicap. The race is easily described. Banket jumped out. followed by Llanore, First Money, Gold Cure and Aspiring. Once in the straight Tile Raider drew away and Avon by a length from locality owned Gold Cure, who beat. Llanore by half a length. Tii e third horse put in a great run and . had he been handily placed must liiive made a great difference. Arrow Had was a moderate fourth.

The Fitzroy Handicap was all over from the start. . - Clever jumped away, followed by the favourite Liniosin. Knightlike,-. Limosin, and Cuticle all had alehanhe entering the straight hut the leader (Clever) was going very well and Avon easily. Before the start of the Fitzroy Hack Handicap, Just So got aA\:ay from his rider, doing two--rounds of the course. The stewards agreed Avitli the trainer that iii tlie unfortunate circumstances, the horse could not bo expected to perform after such a run and permission Avas given to scratch the horse, and the 20 odd early investors on the machine had their money refunded.
