BIG DIVIDENDS RETURNED. MUDLARKS HAVE DAY OUT. The Wellington meeting was concluded on. one of vtho worst'days imaginable. Conditions were nearly impossible and big dividends resulted. New Hurdler Wins. Morrath, a. novice, to hurdling, who won the Talavera. Hurdles .all the way, was ridden by W. J. McDowell, who was having his first, ride in a . jumping event. Knollmere was with Morrath till they wore five furlongs from .home. There-a bad jumped settled Khollmere. Eamuna, who. had . been - lying: third, challenged Morrath, but..was, half a length; to the- bad ■at the finish. J die do. Val; finished, on in third. place, but was seven lengths away,, and Sir Musk was fourth. Park Acre, Currajong and Vitaphone fe11..... .. . ■ .

\ Big Dividend, ■ The; Novice Stakes , was little, more than- ar three-horse race. Tavern. Knight, on the inner, and* Grand Score, on the outer,: were always prominent, and Grand Score- finished best to win by half a- length., Cyclonic was a fair third. Heather. Glow, -Korero, Mercian Prince and Epigram followed. The winner, a, half-brother, to Paddon and Chang, hurdled the ground. well. He paid a big dividend. Chapter of Accidents, The July Steeplechase was a real chapter of accidents, den lost his rider at the second fence, Omeo fell at tho first of' tho stand double, and High Pitch, Billy Boy and Acervate camo to grief at the board fcnco along the back. Copey hit the front and led till half a mile from home when Make Up challenged, Make Up. was toe good and finished an easy winner/half a dozen lengths in front, Copey, with Callamart, who had como from a long way back, ten lengths ''away, third. Quinopal, ‘ Kaokaoroa and Tunbridge were the ouly others, to finish. . Once moro Make Up -made it.dear he is good. Ho went better on Saturday than on tho first day. Foreign Queen’s '. ability in . soft ground enabled her to lead all the way in the Croi'ton.Handicap. Dram Fire was always handy, but- he could never get to her in tho straight and she won three lengths clear at the finish. Pango improved. He was always prominent and finished third, but was six lengths back. Shootist, Tea Garden and High Grader were next, but were not possibilities. Ebeum ran below expectations.

Adventus endeavoured to, win the Winter Hurdles all the way and nearly did so, but iu the end ■Paddon’s ability isrthe mud-pulled Dim through and at the' business end he won .going away by two lengths. Gold Knight rau »■ gQod'race in third p]aco, : three lengths baok, Hounslow was fourth, and Emancipation, who. was the-disappointment oftthe race, was fifth. •Playground, owned- and trained; at,, Awapuni by Mr. S.. J. - Silvers, won- the ."Winter Oats from; onu to end: and - paid a sensational dividend.: He .wont to the front at-the outset aiid though All Humbug made a desperato attehipt to wear him down ho resisted the challenge and .won by a length, Chang did well to run third as-'he'was badly placed early. Gcatown

came from the feck to run fourth. Little Doubt nowcr iooked likely' to win.

Curie, roveiling in the mud, won the Onslow Handicap at the right end. Boacon Dire, despite a big weight, hotly challenged, but Curie’s ability in the going pulled him by a length. Slippery was always in the picture and finished third, half a length away. West wore The Tiger and Normandy.. Normandy fell after passing the post. When the Kia Ora Handicap field turned for honno in the Kia Ora Handicap, Repudiation drew away and looked like winning, but Woodful, who had boon well .placed at the straight entrance, came on to win by a length and a-half from Hunting Lodge with Eopudiation a good third, and Errantry and Maypay nest.

A PHILANTHROPIST Touching. upon people who drew Hyperion in tbo Irish lottery, a London paper says that Mr Samuel Foux, of Stoke Newington, sold a half ahaire in Ms ticket for £2OOO, and, after a trip round tho world, will build cheap houses for poor people. ■ Eight prizes of £30,000 were drawn by people living in or near London, as were six second prizes of £15,000 each, and seven of £IO,OOO each. Some of those who shared in tike various prizes were people who had. been out of employment for some time. MAIDEN WINS A DERBY, It rarely happens that a Derby-is won by a maiden, but Broker’s Tip was one up to tho time of his success in the 50,00,0 dollar Kentucky Derby, ■and ia also, the first foal thrown by his dam, imported Fortcrcsse, a daughtor of S-ardauaple. Forteresso, who was purchased abroad by Colonel Bradley as a yearling, developed influenza on arrival in America and, :as she was never trained, it must have loft something behind. The year following Broker’s Tip her foal was a filly by North Star 11., and as a yearling it was sold at Auction at Saratoga for £lO. . Fortcrcsse was barren in 1932, and again this-year,, but she is now believed tp bo in foal to Black Toney. HIS BEST DERBY WINNER. Relative to the .Derby winners the late B. Marsh trained for King Edward, a London paper says Persimmon was incomparably the greatest of-the trio, and- ao.great was -Marsh's opinion i of him on tiho day that he won. the Ascot Gold Cup that, he asserted he ; would not havo been afraid to run him against the mighty Ormonde. Diamond Jubilee was a good clas3 of ■Derby winner; .but Marsh rated him • 111 b. behind •■Persimmon. ‘ln another way, however,' he. regarded Diamond Jubilee as better, for ho claimed that ho was the only perfect racehorse he over saw—one that could not be faulted. Tho lute Lord Chaplin bet Marsh

£5 that ho could find a fault; but his silent confession of failure was clo- j quently expressed by simply handing over the “fiver” without comment. Marsh was outspoken iu his con-

demnation of the modem jockey seat, and was out-and-oufc for the old English stylo of longer leathers, while ho looked upon George Fordham as the greatest of all jockeys. '
