TO T A LIS ATO R R ETL ,'RNS EASTER’S BIG INCREASE .£275,340 HANDLED The big sum of ,£275,346 was handled b> the totalisator staffs at the nine race and two trotting fixtures held during the Easter holidays. Although a decrease was witnessed in live instances, they were recorded at the smaller country meetings*. The tv.U day hering oi the .Auckland Racing Club alone saw £82,678 invested, which represented an increase of £17,829 1 oson the 1932 figures; while l the Canterbury Jockey Club fixture put through an aggregate of £43,887 los which was £5152 10s greater than last year. There is an indication that the Now Zealand Metropolitan trotting meeting - will like" iso record a substantial for on the one day so far held the totalisator returns were £3344 los greater than for the opening - day hi 1932.

-WIN AND PLACE Totalisator returns are frequently adjudged to be the financial barometer of the country, but probably the increases registered are due more to the introduction of the win and place system, for the new system offers bettors additional opportunities of participating in he disU bution of the dividends. In respect to this betting system the returns of the Auckland and Feiiding Clubs for the second day’s activities 'furnish an interesting contrast. Whereas at the northern fixture tlu*. place machine was the more popular, the position was reversed at Feiiding-. On Easter Monday the place machine at EUerslio handled £28,994 10s as compared with £14,796 los on the win machine, where.-is the former handled £5657 1 <»s at Feiiding as against £9200 on the win machine. With the execution ; of ti c* opening event at Ellerslie, when the place machine did not operate owing to there being only two runners, this totalisator handled almost twice as much as the win machine in every race, but the reverse was witnessed at Feiiding when the win machine held the advantage in every event-

THE A.R.C. MEETING THE AUTUMN HANDICAP Describing the running of the chief event on Monday, the Auckland Star say; : Merry Damon was the only withdrawal from the Autumn Handicap, for which Gold Trail and Manawhcnua divided favouritibni. Manawhcnua was lir stout, but when the field settled down in tho run up the straight the first time Eager Rose had taken the lead, and she led past the stand from Manawhcnua, Knight of Australia, Yalroc, Royal Artist, Sunny’ Sky, Seatown, l lying Prince and Master Brierley, who were racing in that order. There was very little alteration in the positions along* the back, and when the field raced across tin* top Hager Rose was still I,he leader from Knight of Australia, Sunny Sky, Royal Artist, Master Brierley and Manawhcnua. Eager Rose had a fwo lengths’ lead entering the straight from Knight of Australia, with Manawhcnua, Royal Artist, Master Brierley and Sunny Sky following*. In a good finish Master Brierley came along and overhauling Eager Rose won by a head. Manawhcnua was two and half lengths away. followed by Knight of Australia, Seatown, Gold Trail, Sunny Sky, Flying Prince, Royal Artist and \ alroe. The sec tional times we re : F our furlongs, 5— sec ; five 1.4. 3-5; s»x, 1.16 3-5; seven 1.29; mile 1.41 4-5; nine 1.54 2-5; mile and a half 2.32.

THE STEEPLECHASE Backers summed up the Autumn Steeplechase correctly when the favourites —Callamart, Simeon, and Billy Boy- tilled the places in the order supported. At the water jump in front of stand, Simeon, C tina's King*, Neil, l.ucess and C alia matt were in line, with Absent, High Pitch and Billy Boy following'. Going up the hill the first time Lucess led Callamart, Creina’s King, Neil, High Pitch, Simeon and .Absent. At the first- fence of the double Callamart led l.ucess, C rcina s King, Simeon, Neil llig’h Pitch, Billy Bov and Absent• Creina’s King came to grief at this fence*. Up the* hill the last time Simeon,Callamart, l.ucess, Billy Boy, Neil and High Pitch were racing in close company , but once over the two fences on the top Callamart and Simeon drew clear and down the hill were six lengths out in front of Billy Boy , with Lucess next about a dozen lengths away. Callamart was first to hit the straight and he Ed the way home to win by alength from Simeon, with Billy Boy a dozen lengths away third, l.ucess, Neil, High Pitch and Absent ’followed. PASSED IN Mr J. M. Samson's horses, Admiral Drake and Gold l)rcs s , were offered at auction, states an Invercargill writer. The former was pass-

ed in at 240 guineas, and the latter at 220 guineas- It is understood that there is a reserve of 250 guineas on Admiral Drake.

K. YOITRE AT TAUHERENIKAt

A feature of the racing* at Tauherenikau on Easter Monday was the riding of K. Voitre. Commencing with a win on Arrow Kad in the third race, he rode April Fool a dead heat in the next event, and then won three more in succession oil King Thomond, Lucky Alice and Courtyard- As a dead heat counts equal to a win Voitre reached Ins .tooth winner for the season, a fact which received due recognition from the crowd as he returned to the birdcage. Voitre has every prospect of reaching and beating TI. Gray record of 116 winners before the season ends on July

The only occasion on which the judicial stewards at Riccarton were called together by Mr Sandiland* was to enquire into the accident in the Papqnui Handicap and after hearing evidence they decided that Scarlet Robe's fall was not caused through the fault of any othc» horse or rider in the race, and cor. sidered that the- occurrence was purely accidental.
