HAWERA TROTS

/* OPENING DAY’S EVENTS.

CUP TO DAPHNE WIUDWOOD TOTALISATGR FIGURES INCREASE. Patrons of the harness sport were well catered for on the opening day of the Hawera Trotting Club’s annual meeting on Saturday, large fields of good performers with close finishes characterising the events throughout the day. Despite the threat of bad weather which loomed in the sky during the morning, the attendance was practically on a par with the numbers present at the opening day last year, and gave evidence of the growing popularity of this class of sport throughout the district, while the big influx of visitors from all parts of the North Island illustrated the importance of the local meeting in the estimation of f/otting followers outside the province. Dull and cold weather prevailed throughout the day, but no rain fell, and the track remained in excellent condition.

The honours in the Hawera Cup race were contested by a good field of 18, the trophy being annexed by the Ash-hurst-trained mare Daphne Wildwood after an exciting finish with the local trotter Kokiritea, which, starting from the same mark, had to cede first place by a bare head. Directly after the conclusion of the race the cup, donated by Mr J. R. Corrigan, of Hawera. was presented to Mr R. Vautier, the owner of Daphne Wildwood, by Mrs B. McCarthy, wife of the club president, the latter extending suitable congratulations.

The various departments were in first-class 'order, efficient supervision being conducted by the president, Mr B. McCarthy, the .acting-secretary. Mi E. P. Cox. and those associated in the administrative work. Mr A. Mora* officiated as starter, and despatched his fields with a minimum of delay, while at the home end Air J. Gray hoisted the results vrith promptitude, and certaintv. The? discrimination used by the han-dieapper, 'Mr F. W. Edwards, in discharging his duties was evidenced by the closeness of the finishes throughout the dav.

. The tota'isator staff, under Mr W. O’Callaghan gave efficient attention to public reauirements. The sum of £18.214 went through the machine., the total being an increase of £2096 compared with the corresponding day of the previous year, when £16,118 was handled. The Hawera Municipal Baud under Conductor H. C. A. Fox was in attendance throughout the day and rendered an appreciated programme of selections. Results not already published were as follow: HAWERA TROTTING CUP (Harness), of 600 sovs.; second horse 100 sovs., and third horse 50 sovs. out of the stake. 2 miles. 7 DAPHNE WILDWOOD: R.
