What, for example, could stand more pleasantly opposed, in the capacious and retentive memory of the sporting man, than the Cup and Derby Days of the C.J.C.’b Spring Meeting of 1887 ? The first a chilly, grey, and gloomy season; a time of great coats and grumbling at the weather: a day of slanting, pelting ram, shrouding the far-off side of the course m mist, and driving the ladies to the shelter of the stand. The second a day when a dear expanse of bine spanned the whole bright, sunny heavens: when Nature seemed bent, like the great crowd, constantly congratulating each other on the fineness of the weather, on keeping holiday herself; and when scores of gay toilets decorated the grand stand, or were displayed to full advantage on the soft sward of tho lawn* In feet, the fat and jovial ’bus driver who volunteered to his appreciative "pal” the weighty remark that it was “a glorious racing day,” and added oracularly, “and, mind yer, Jimmy, a tip-top out-and-out New Zealand morn in' takes a deal o’ rubbin’ out”—if he did not draw his inspiration from the purest well of English undefiled, at least expressed the prevailing sentiment with pith and fervour. In every respect, almost, the Derby Day stands out before that on which the Cup was run. The attendance was far larger. Tho railway—unnecessarily crowded at times the carriages were, it seemed to ns transported a larger number, as compared with 2300 to the course; the drags and ’busses, and private carriages, were packed more closely in the enclosures; the stands were better filled, and the totaliaators did a roaring trade. No less than £13,673 were put through the three machines. As for the racing, that was equally interesting with that of Tuesday, although perhaps not quite so exciting; and, considering the marvellous run of lack which the yellow jacket and black cap commanded on this ibright day, “ Happy is the Stead that the sun shines on” should pass into a proverb in the sporting world from this time forth. The course was in much .better order than on Tuesday, and towards the close of the afternoon the bright sunshine and drying wind had left very little to be desired in this respect. Proceedings commenced with the Handicap Hurdle Race, for which Irish King, looking wonderfully bright and well, and none the worse for his exertions on the previous day, yr&a again entrusted with the public confidence. Garibaldi, who was generally supposed to he capable of something rather better than his performance in the Spring Hurdle Race, was second in demand, and the brown son of Barwon, making all his own running from end to end, just managed to get home by a hare half length, the light-weighted Teddy and the improving Marmion being his nearest attendants. The favourite was in a good position as they made the top turn, but from that point took no prominent part in the race, and only headed the pulling up division on sufferance. On paper the Selling Race appeared to be a very simple thing for Melville, and for once in a way paper probabilities were borne out, as the favourite took up the running at the five - furlong post, and cantered home the easiest of winners by a length. Kingaak left the paddock lame, and was unnecessarily punished when his chance was completely extinguished by the superior pace of his opponents. The Derby candidates were saddled up in good time, and a lengthened {>arade in front of the stand permitted a eisurely inspection of the quartette. ftTn.-nm does not seem to have grown an inch since he won the Champagne in the autumn, and although ho appeared well enough, he was hardly so attractive-looking as when he closed his two-year-old career. There was, too, the least suspicion of lameness about the colt’s peculiar gait as he walked down the straight. However, his friends were very confident, and he never wavered in his position of first favourite. Sextant was certainly not at his best, and the great muscular power which characterised the colt last season has almost disappeared. This it must be hoped is the result of only a temporary ailment, as the big son of Robinson Crusoe is undoubtedly fast, and the way ho finished under the whip showed him to be a real game one. Gipsy King had fully recovered from his exertions in the Cop, in fact he looked all the bettor for his gallop on the previous day ; but Cruchfield was obviously suffering from the great race he had run in the big handicap. Mr Campbell lost no time in getting the field away, and Gipsy King at once made the running at a terrific pace. Maxim, however, never allowed O'Brien’s colt to get away, and when Clifford moved on the favourite he at once shot to the front, and came into the straight with a clear lead. Gipsy King seemed to be going up as they approached the distance, but )VTn.TiTn shook him off in a dozen strides, and finishing very strongly won by a bare Tapgt.li- Rnssley had no sooner made his appearance in the paddock than he was voted the good thing for the Stewards’ Stakes Handicap, and with a bit the best of the weights the bearer of the yellow jacket won just as he liked at the finish. Forester got well away, and appeared to have his field in trouble at the half distance, bat directly Russley challenged, the big chestnut refused to try a yard, and was beaten on the post for second place by Bard. Russley was saddled up again for the Epsom High Weight Handicap, but was snob a notorious non-stayer that Mokoia and Moana were both made better favourites. But Mason seems to have accomplished what half a dozen sporting writers have recently told us, in discussing the ability of another horse under his charge, is an impossibility, namely, endowed a non-stayer with the power to get over a distance of ground. On this occasion Russley made all his own running, and might, if Hnxtable had been so inclined, have won by twenty lengths. Sommeil was made an even money favourite for the Juvenile Plate, but the ■ Yaldhurat stable’s run of success was not ■ yet over, and although Chic, a compact undersized filly, was the least fashionable looking of the lot, Mr Stead’s colours, were not without followers. And these again proved correct, for after Sommeil, ■ Red Ensign, and Adulation, had made alternate running to the distance. Chic came through and won very easily by a 1 couple of lengths. Half a dozen amateurs sported silk for the Ladies’ Purse, and so convinced were the public that ■ the Yaldhurst stable was irresistible on the day that the head-strong Securus was most fancied in a fairly strong field. The favourite, however, ran out at the first turn, and took no further part in the race, and after a capital set-to between Ravenscraig and Wairnna, the former wpn by three-quarters of a length. The Post i Stakes, which attracted a field of eleven, and the usual amount of totalisator wagering, concluded a lengthy card just in time • for the visitors to reach town before dark, i The following are details of the day’s rao ine- > THE HURDLE RACE HANDICAP, of 2 sots i each, with 100 boys added; second horse 16 mm and third horse 10 sots out of the stake.

Passing Cutt’s, Garibaldi was still in front, with Mainboom and Teddy at bis quarters, while Irish King had fallen back and Marmion was beading the ruck, of which Secretary and Golden Butterfly were already tailing off. Going along the bock stretch and past Ford’s, Garibaldi and Teddy drew clear of the rest and Irish King moved up, but the latter immediately retired, and Mainboom and Marmion went on in pursuit of the leaders. As they swept into the straight. Garibaldi, Teddy, and Marmion singled themselves out from the rest and ran a great race home under the whip. At> the rails it looked for a moment, as if Teddy wonld get up, but Garibaldi stayed the longest, and got the best of a magnificent struggle hy half a length, the same distance separating second and third, Irish King fourth, Mainboom fifth, and Mammoc sixth.

(Thompson) 0 Gipsy King rushed to the front immediately the flag fell, and made the running at a tremendous pace round the turn and past Cutts’, with Maxim a length away second, and Cruchfield and Sextant following at similar intervals. Approaching Ford’s Sextant moved into third place, and Cruchfield at once commenced to tail off. At the Kennels Maxim went up to'the leader, and a furlong further on was a length clear of Gipsy King and Sextant, who were running heck and neck ten lengths in front of Cruchfield. As they made the top turn Gipsy King drew up to the favourite’s quarters, but at the entrance to the straight Maxim again got clear. Two furlongs from home O’Brien’s pair were under the whip, but Maxim always had a little the best of the struggle, and ran homo an easy winner by three-quarters of a length, Gipsy King beating Sextant by a neck for second place, and Cruchfield a dozen lengths away last.

Forester and Meteor were the first to show in front, and this pair were followed by Regina and Russley, with Bard at their heels. Forester was a couple of lengths clear as they swept into the straight, and going on appeared to have the race in hand at the distance, but Russley coming with a run on the outside, challenged the leader, who refused to try any further, and allowed the favourite to win by a length ’ and a half, Bard beating Forester by a ■ neck for second place.

As they made the top turn Eussley was still in command, while Mokoia, Patrician, and Marlborough had taken up better positions. Coming into the straight Mokoia retired and Marlborough showed in front for half a dozen strides, bnt it was only on sufferance, as directly Eussley’s head was loosed he came away and won with ridiculous ease by four lengths from Marlborough, Patrician third, and the rest following m straggling order.

At the four-furlong post the colours of Adulation, Sommeil, Eed Ensign, and Chic were most conspicuous, but when in the straight Sommeil fell back, and Adulation and Eed Ensign carried on the running to the distance, where Chic shot out, and taking command, was never headed, and won easily by two lengths from Eed Ensign, who was the same distance in front of Adulation.

[Bv Beokt Siiaep.l I had intended to write a full description of the many beautiful dresses prepared for the Cup Day, but although there were more ladies than I expected to see in the stand, of course the dresses did not appear. Everyone was most sensibly clad in winter gowns, warm jackets, and ulsters. The look of the stand was certainly as unlike a New Zealand Cup Day as it was possible to imagine, and I have no- pretty toilettes to chronicle. Yesterday, however, made up for all, and many were the exclamations, “What a perfect day,” &c., which resounded on all aides. The drive through the pretty suburb of Fendalton was most enjoyable, the rain having laid the horrible stifling dust, which nearly always epoils the pleasure of an otherwise delightful beginning to the day. The look of the lawn from the stand was particularly pretty in the intervals of the races. Many red umbrellas caught the eye, and several dresses —notably the exquisite pink satin of Miss Thierens, and the heliotrope blended with moss green of Mrs Pitman’s—made bright spots on the green turf. First and foremost among the married ladies was Mrs Stevens’ dark heliotrope cashmere; a plain pure white watered silk en tout cas completed a most tasteful toilette. Mrs Alan Scott had a handsome dress, green velvet and gold embroidery. One of the most striking dresses on the ground was Mrs C, Strachey’s electric blue satin, bonnet trimmed with red currants. Mrs Mur-ray-Aynsley, dark red silk ; Mrs Ehodes in handsome black satin; Mrs Studholme, navy blue and red; Mrs Palmer, black silk j Mrs Stead, white silk with collar of electric blue; Mrs El worthy, a warm shade of brown, were some of the many noticeable gowns. Mrs J. Greyson, an exceedingly pretty black costume with panel of pale blue covered with jetted lace; Mrs Garrick, grey cashmere and brocade; Mrs C. Hawdon, most tasteful electric blue with silver braid; Mrs Efaind, blue satin body and coffee lace skirt. Among the young ladies white, as usual, was in the ascendant. Miss Elworthy, the Misses Ehodes, Tabart, Murray-Aynsley, Nedwill, Maude, Harley, and Palmer all wore this most suitable attire for young ladies. Amongst others, were Mias E. Moorhouse, in blue; Miss Miles, in pale peacock blue; Miss Eeeves, figured blue dress and sash, dark red bonnet; Miss Webb, navy blue silk, white hat; Mias L. Murray-Aynsley, lovely blue and cream embroidered dress ; Mias Garrick, cream and brown bows; Miss Lance, apricot, with brown velvet bows; Miss Studholme, in blue striped tailor dress, sailor hat; Miss Way, striped blue dress; Miss Greenwood, blue and covert coat; Miss Hawkins, brown tailor dress; Miss Le Cren, lovely pale pink embroidered cambric; Miss Gerard, cream dress and apricot hat. These were among the many pretty costumes displayed yesterday; to describe them all, or even one-half pf those worthy of notice, is impossible. I can only say that the ladies of Christchurch never had a more lovely day for their annual visit to Eiccarton, and their efforts were in keeping with the delightful weather.
