WAVERLEY-WAITOTARA RACING

CLUB

Weather conditions were excellent for the annual gathering of the Waver-ley-Waitotara Kacing Clul> on Labor Day, and a very large crowd was present. The fields in all the races were good, and speculation on the totalisatcr was animated, the sum of £23.100 going through the machine, an increase of £4777 over the amount handled last year. The racing proved interesting, the finishes for the most part being very close, and not one first favorite prevailed throughout the day. Back--1 ers' judgment, however, was"not altogether astray, as five events out of the eight were Avon by horses ranking as second favorites. No accidents nor protests marred the harmony of proceedings, which were capably managed by Secretary W. Macfarlane and his assistants. The only Hawera-trained horse to win a race was Munition, who was also v second in another race, but Veto, Fidelio, and Henry Clay finished m second berth in various events. The most successful jockey was W. Young, who rode three winners, whilst X Lanibess, A. Gordon, A. McMillan, J. Cathro, and 0. McCarten each rode one. Details of the racing are as follow : BREWER HANDICAP (open) of £180, second horse £25 and third £15 from the stake. Six furlongs. 2 T. Long's br m Interlude, car 8.3 (W. Young) . 1 0 M.

When the field settled down from a good start Interlude was in front from Astor, with Gayeium and Glenroy next m order, and when the home turn was rounded Interlude was still going easily in front, while Gaycium and Astor were under pressure, and Veto was making a forward move. The lastnamed disposed of all the others, but failed by a couple of lengths to reach Interlude, Lady Middleton finishing third a length away and Glenroy close up fourth.' Gaycium and Astor were the last to pass the post. Time, 1.16 1-5. . MORTON MEMORIAL MAIDEN of £105, second horse £10 from the ■stake. Weigkt-for-age. Seven furlongs. 4 G.
