The following accounts of the second day’s running are taken from the “Dominion”— GRAND NATIONAL HURDLES. Peter: Maxwell, Bonena, Captain Sarto and \ exatious were the course scratchings for the big hurdle race. Wharncliffe was a substantial favourite, over £2OO ahead ot Perle de Leon with the bulk of the remaining money on Beau Cavalier and some support for Kaikahu. Beau Cavalier and Dubious showed out from the start, but when settled down over the first fence Beau Cavalier hit the front, the others being bunched, except Coastguard and Wharncliffe, who tailed off. Perle de Leon crashed at the second fence, and there was little change m the order until commencing tile last mile, where Beau Cavalier led Dubious, Kaikahu and Rangitahi, with Wharncliffe moving up. Kaikahu headed Beau Cavalier justsafter passing the seven furlong post, with Dubious and Wharncliffe well up. At the half-mile Kaikahu and Wharirclilfe were beinning to draw away from Dubious and Beau Cavalier, anil although Kaikahu jumped the last fence first, Whancliffe outstayed I and won easily by four lengths. Eight or nine lengths back Beau Cavalier was fourth, followed by Rangitahi and Coastguard, with Kawini a long way back. The latter came in very lame behind. AUGUST HANDICAP. In the big field of 23 for the open sprint Solrose was a good favourite from Volant and Solferite, with betting taking a wide range amongst the others. Although drawn on the extreme outside Nadarino began best and was quickly in front on the rails, leading into the straight from Moorland, Arrowmir, and Whenuanui, with Tuahine leading the second division. Once in line Nadarino shook off his nearest attendants, but Tuahine challenged in the final stages, Nadarino getting home by a length from her, Horomea coming well at the finish into third place, nearly two lengthe back. Whenuanui, Royal Game, Moorland, and Huikai finished in line just behind the placed horses, and the bunch was headed by Cassolite and Birthmark. ISLINGTON HANDICAP. Royal Mint finished up favourite in th e Islington Handicap from Chickwheat, Nukumai, Black Mint, and Taboo. Taboo led all the way, and was closely attended to the straight by Indan Sage, Shandie, Beau Geste, Passionate, and Soltoe. Taboo held his place comfortably in the run home, and score by two lengths from Indian Sage, who beat Beau Geste by a length- Royal Mint was a head behind Beau Geste, and then came Black Mint and Nukumai together, the bunch being leaded by Chickwheat.
