PALMERSTON STAKES, BLACKMAIL:

.Unfortunately for.tho Manawatu Racing Uub the completo success of the second day's racing, held yesterday, was marrod considerably by the wet. weather which prevailed. Heavy rain commenced (before cjaV break, • and continued almost incessantly until noon,' whon it coased, making under-, foot conditions on portions'of tho lawn' and the saddling paddock unpleasant • The track was a trifle.heavy. .There was<agaih a. good attendance, and speculation was fairly brisk. Maniahera went out favourite in the To Matai Hurdles, and would have been either first or second had he not come to grief at tho last obstacle. Bonnie Maid put down two solid favourites in Isabel and Marqueteur in the President's Handicap, the win hriing popular. Affectation and Duncdin claimed most attention in*the Palmerston North Stakes, but the winner,; turned up in Blackmail, who beat, the' Hjghdcn-trained Warplano by a length.' The. latter is a magnificently proportioned animal, and, being by Martian—Adelicia, should win somo good races. Kuia, runnerup to Strategy jn the Highden Hack, paid' tho best dividend of the day, while Bonny Briar, who scampe'red away from the field in tho Awapuni Handicap, also awarded hor supporters with a remunerative, dividend. Following are tho concluding. i'6t ; suits:- /
