THE I-lAWKE’S BAY MEETING

(By “Escapade.”) Auckland noiuiualions -went in cm Enduy. This meeting closes the trotting season in the Nortu island. Canterbury Tars meeting, held at Jnr.SLeiiUr.il last ween, wua 'cry smcess.nl. i oLroleusc, an cx-Mawora mare, won tlie big trotters' race in tlie smart time oi l.d'J, Tile Pu.erley horse Hue Coronado, trained by it. AicdJermoU, ran \ ery disappointing!,). ifaWuC's Pay meeting was held in ane weather, the track was exceptionally liea.y owing to the continuous wet spell. The coaler non the big handicap ■ civ liicoii, and by winning three races on end proved that bo is a good sort. Ghnd Audubon won the last mile ana a furlong by a bare head. Horsemanship wou the race. Hal lluon .vita Letter handling should ha\e non. I unity, IKy, who was beaten by Electric Gold, has been com cried from a trotter into a pacer and it seems to suit turn El Direct is a good sort, but lie seemed to get mixed up at the start. With a. more expci lencod driier bo will win. Mohuunu, owned Toy j. ,J{. Corrigan, won a double. As he is only a young horse be may still improve. Pangitero is useful. With more condition lie will win good races. Air. Mitchell, or Lougburn, gave a big price for him recently, and was nnlunity in meeting Moaanna on his best lcluu iuur. Pangiteix* ran second both times. Aiienchi, the much-boomed horse tr. in To Awamotu, had tlie services of J. T. Paul, but rated very greenly. Phil Green seemed to understand Tui Pells, as she is not racing for oilier trainers as she did for him. call Boy did not show bis correct .orin at Hastings. tie seemed to do e. ery tiling but trot. Ce Advaneeur stopped badly after going a mile. Jasper was lucky to get second. Ho is not of great quality. Hostess lias gone off; she raced badly. J. Landers left Lady Kevin in Hastings. She was no better with a change of trainers. Koliara. who won tlie last New Zealand Cup, arrived in Ilawera last week. He lias been leased by Mr. Corrigan, and will join •}. Bullock’s team. Koliara is a line black entire, and, only being a young horse, may still race well. Me lias a tine record, lie won the Sapling Stakes at two years, the Derbies at three years; qualified for tlie" Now Zealand Cup at four years, and won the Cup at live years.
