THE NEW ZEALAND CUP. Chide just walked away with the Cup, comments “The Watcher,” who was in attendance at Riccarton on Saturday. He was never further back than fourth and, accommodating himself with ease to the pace set, he came on alone when challenged in the straight and won by five or six lengths and going away. He started a red hot favourite, partially paralysing the betting. Tcheka, Count Cavour and Money Mine were the first to break the line, and racing down the straight, Tcheka was showing the way to Count Cavour, Money Mine and Hoylake, with Chide, Yom a and Amor next. Passing Cutts’s Hoylake joined Tcheka in the lead, three lengths in front of Count Cavour and Money Mine, with Chide and Amor handy, while Concentrate and Spearmiss were last, with In tbe Shade and Historic just ahead of them. Tcheka and Hoylake were two lengths clear of Count Cavour, Money Mine and Chide at the mile post, where Black Mint started to move up. Hoylake and Tcheka had Chide and Black Mint as their nearest attendants at the six-furlong post, where Prodice was improving her position very fast. Hoylake and Black Mint led Chide round the home turn, where In the Shade had also joined in with the next bunch. When fairly in line for home Chide drew to the front and went on to win with ridiculous ease by four or six lengths. In a great finish for the minor places, Tn the Shade beat the fast-finishing Spearmiss by a neck, with Hoylake another neck away. Then came Prodice half a length further back, with Historic and Concentrate, Seatown and Piuthair heading the others. Yom was last. Chide accomplished a high-class performance, and. going easily all the way, won by running right away when called upon. His win emphasises the ridiculous conditions regarding penalties in the Cup. Ho scored two wins earlier in the season, and escaped any rehandicap, while Historic got a stone and Tn the Shade 61b. extra as they won over the prescribed amount of stake money. At the same time Chide could have won with considerably more in the saddle. Tn the Shade was responsible for an excellent race. Ho was in the rear early, and, not getting too good a passage over the last mile, he gave Chide a substantial start and came home well. It was his stamina that got him second, for he had made a great effort. He also carried 2}lb. over. His gallop would have won any average cup. Spearmiss came solidly from just ns far back. In fact she was still in the rear five furlongs from home. She just failed to get up. Hoylake ran n good race and was always dangerous, running up fra his best form below the dislane- - and before Chide was called on for tn's eflVrt. Prodice looked distinctly dangerous as she made her run from u good position and flashed up very quickly. However, she failed to See out the full two miles. Historic wa;i not disgraced. Tn fact, he ran a great race and with luck might haw been second. Ho was in the rein with In the Shade and Concentrate for a mile and did not got a good passage up. Every tipi? ho tried ic

go he got stopped. He finished at the head of the bunch about five lengths from In the Shade, Spearmiss, Hoylake, and Prodice. In addition to his bad luck he got galloped on. Concentrate was never dangerous He began to move up down the back, but at the five furlongs he had dropped right back again. None of the others ever looked like winning, although Black Mint showed up surprisingly well at the mile and threequarters. STEWARDS’ HANDICAP. The not infrequent outsider turned up in the Stewards’ Handicap in White Fang, who got up over the last fifty yards and beat the solid favourite Paganelli. Paganelli drew the rails and apeared to stumble at the start, but he was one of the leaders to the bend, where Havering and Freehold were actually piloting the field. Paganelli moved up entering the straight with Havering, the colours prominent of the rest being those of Freehold, Gold Cure, Aspiring, Meadow Lark, Hunting Cry, White Fang, Airow Lad, Red Heckle. Great Star, and Royal Saxon. So well up was the big bunch that the majority were forced off the course. Paganelli dropped Havering at the distance and was still in front with 50 yards to go. Here White Fang finished on, while Paganelli stopped to lose to the Gisborne horse by a neck. Havering was a length back, with Royal Saxon fourth and a big bunch close up, including Aspiring, Cimabue, Meadow Lark. Hunting Cry, and Great Star.—White Fang finished too stoutly for Paganelli, who died in his rider's hands. All the same it was a great effort on the part of the favourite. Havering was always there, and ran a good race. Royal Saxon and Aspiring wore handy throughout, but as so many came into line together those wide out had no chance, and possibly the form may not work out very well later. Aspiring was one of those who went out very wide. Outside of Pagapelli, Great Star, Cimabue, and Havering were the only ones at all well backed. WAIKATO DIVISIONS. Hamilton, Nov. 11.
