AUCKLAND RACING CLUB'S AUTUMN MEETING.

THE OPENING DAY'S RACING. . ADVANCE WINS THE EASTER HANDICAP. The good fortune (hat has stood to tho A.8.0. in the matter of weather for so long a period was yesterday again in evidence, when the metropolitan body inaugurated their autumn meeting under tho most favourable auspices. Tho day might be spoken of as an ideal one of tho genial Auckland climate, thero being just sufficient of the sun's rays to brighten up the scene without causing any discomfort. Tho autumn gathering is looked upon as one of the most pleasant reunions of the racing season, and it only requires fine weather to attract a splendid attendance. Yesterday's gathering was rendered noteworthy by tho presence of the vice-regal party. His Excellency the Governor and Lady Ranfurly, accompanied by Miss Richmond and Captain Dudley Alexander (private secretary), arrived on the course shortly beloro tho starting of the principal race, and the party was received at the entrance to tho main enclosure by the president (Mr. L. D. Nathan) and stewards, who conducted the party to the vice-regal box. The Hon. C. Hill-Trevor, A.D.C. to the" Governor, and the Hon. J. Carroll, Nativo Minister, wore also present. Tho vice-regal party remained 011 the course until well on in the afternoon, and tlioy were given a warm cheer 011 driving away, just beforo the last race.

Tlio attendance of the public is estimated as the largest that has over assembled at Ellcrslie at the autumn gathering, and the enclosure during the afternoon bore a very attractive appearance. Tlio light rains that had fallen at intervals during the past few days had revived tho grass, and the picturesque surroundings were seen pretty well at their best.

Owing to the military manoeuvres claiming his attention, Colonel Banks was unable to take his placo in the judge's box. The Hon. Mr. Mitclielson was requested by the stewards to act, and that gentleman performed tho duties during the afternoon. Mr. Georgo Cutts manipulated tlio starting barrier with success, and in almost every instance he got his fields away 011 even terms. The meeting was, 011 the whole, well managed, but there was 0110 mattor which gave riso to loud and deep complaint, and that was the fixing of the last race for so late an hour as half-past five. The shades .of evening had crept in before the'horses were despatched 011 their journey, and it was a matter of somo difficulty to pick out the colours borno by the horses. It may, however, be taken as quite certain that this little matter will be remedied 011 the remaining days over which the meeting extends. Speculation was brisk during the day, and the fields proved so strong that last year's record (£9766) was rather badly beaten, the amount handled during the afternoon being £12,443, an increase of £2677 on tho corresponding day of last year. • The musical portion of tho programme was rendered by the fine band wider the leadership or Mr. J. Impcy. Mr. A. F. Stilwell conducted the catering arrangements at tlio grandstands in a manner that reflected credit 011 bis establishment.

There were a couple of accidents during the afternoon, but fortunately they were not of a serious character. In the Hurdle Race Korowai camo down, and Favona, win was running immediately in her wake, galloping into her, lie was brought to grief. Stewart, the ridei of Korowai, got off scathless, but Burns, the rider of Fuvona, was not so fortunate, the plucky little horseman having one of his knees injured. He was, however, able to walk back to the paddock with assistance. In the concluding race—the Railway Handicap—Arcvlo, who had been very unruly (at the post prior to the start, fell, and his rider, W. Sceats, received ft rather severe shaking. THE RACI.VG.

The programme opened with the Tradesmen's Handicap, for which tho nine horses coloured on the card went to the post. The field saddled up was a fairly good-looking one. Daystar was ono that was quickly disposed of, for in addition to his being in show condition, he displayed weakness in his forelegs. A favourite was made of tho Gisbornoowned mare En Hakkore, a neat daughter of Hotchkiss and Tasmania,, and after her St. Jack was the one' most in favour. The latter boro an improved appearance, but as both his forelcs were encased in bandages, there was evidence of a weakness. As Air. CutL despatched them on their errand, tiio colours of Knight of Athol were the first tc. be picked out in the van, and tho grey son of Cuirassier showed tho way to the bottom turn, where Cadiz took command, The son of Nelson held his own all the way round, and he showed tho way into the straight, and with a two lengths' lead at that stage he looked like a winner. Howevei, when it came to real business'at the distance, Cadiz swerved badly under punishment, and Laetitia coming along very straightly unde\ pressure in tho centre of the course, she got home first by a length from Cariopus, who just l>oat Cadiz for second honours. The winner is a three-year-o.d daughter of Seaton Delaval and Miss Letty, and she was bred at Sylvia. Park by nor owners, the Messrs. Nathan. ■ The owners of Laetitia did not support tho filly to any great extent, as is fully borne out by the amount of tho dividend.

The field for the Champagne Stakes was reduced to seven by the withdrawal of Hengist, St. Amy, Aleger, MatamataharakiKi, Lady Avon, Rosipliele, and Paul Seaton, As the youngsters were being saddled up they were keenly scanned. Vol Rosa was one that was early in the paddock. The son of Seaton Dclaval bore a well-trained appearance, but the disappointment about him was that he had not grown a bit since the spring. Paphos, a black son of Robinson Crusoe and Aphrodite, though a bit plain about the Jie.ul and neck, bore an attractive appearance, as ho is a colt of good size and powor. Beddington's appearance was somewhat marred by the fact that he broke out into a profuse sweat, which caused some to waver in their support of the bearei of the blue jacket black sash. A rumour being current that Formula had shown her party a, good trial on the private track at Mangere, tlio sister to Multiform was one who claimed a large levee. The daughter of Hotchkiss appeared somewhat dry in her coat, and as she had not furnished to any extent, there was no great reason to go into ecstacies over her chance. St. Olga, Balbirnie, and Zcalou;. looked well, but they did not receive much attention, as tlioy were considered to be moderates. \N hen the preliminaries came, to be undertaken, nothing pleased bo much as Beddington, who let out with a fine sweeping stride, which was in marked contrast to the gait of his opponents. Mi. Cults did not experience much trouble with his field, and ho succeeded in getting them away well together. Balbirnio was the quickest into her stride, but the favourite was also smartly on his legs, and he was in a good position as they moved off. Balbirnie soon lost her place at the head of the field, and Zealous showed the way into the straight, closely attended by Formula. As Beddington was being ridden with the whir at this stage,' matters did not appear to bear a hopeful appearanco for hnn, but the son of Seaton Dclaval struggled on most gamely, and Gallagher, getting ft clear run next the rails, Beddington came on and won by a length from Paphos, who finished very straightly under pressure, iiio paco was pretty solid throughout, tho last five furlongs being run in lm. 3. 4-55., and the last four in 50 3-ss. Beddington, like his full sister, Lactitia, tho winnei of the preceding race, carried the colours of Ins breeders, Messrs. L. D. and N. A. Nathan, and the Auckland" nportsinon, it is hard necessary to say, were tho recipients of quite a host of congratulations on the successes which had fallen to their popular colours. The next event was the big raw of the afternoon, the Easter Handicap, and when tho numbers for that raco went up it was found that the field had lieen reduced to 13, the absentees being Coronet, Box, Okoari, Oingo, Autaia, Hastings, St. Jack, and Mantle. The pronounced favouritism displayed lor Advance's chance all through tho initial stages of the betting, caused tho son of Vanguard to be eagerly sought lor, and he was quickly picked out. It did not require a second _ glance at Advance to proyo that his traine. had h |in in great buckle, for his jet black coal fairly glinted in the sun. The top-weight, Record Roign, bore a healthy appearance; but in his case it was argued that he would have been all tho better for an extra gallop or two. Rosella, who appeared to have quite got rid of her unsoundness, bore a well-trained ftppearanco, its also did Miss Dclaval, Holioro, and Minerva, This trie were all well fancied. As they filed out of tho paddock to undertake then preliminary gallops, Advance was tho first on to tho course, but Rosolla led off tlio gallop. She moved very nicely; but when Advance dashed past the tongues were again set wagging, and there was aoonsonsus of opinion that the son of Vanguard would stand in need of a deal of beating. Though Mr. Cutta oiporionccd some little difficulty in getting tho field into line, no breakaway occurred. As . tho barrier shot up, Holioro, who had a most favourable berth next tho rails,' shot into the lead, and he had twe lengths' advantage as they sped across the bottom stretch. Advance was, however, within half a-leng';h ot his bay opponent as

they entered on the back stretch, and lie was level with him as they dashed past the sixfurlongs post. The two leaders raced stride for stride, through the cutting and up to the half-mile post. A little further on Advance began to leavo hie opponent, and as thoy rounded into the straight, the black son of Vanguard was seen bowling along with a good hold of his head, and his victory was loudly proclaimed. Drawing up to the Derby Stand, however, Rosella, who got a good run in tho centre, put in a sharp challenge, which caused Jenkins to take out the whip to tho favourite. For an instant thero was a hush, but it was a solitary voice that was heard to exclaim, " Tho favourite's beaten !" Advance answered the question most gamely, and, shaking himself clear of tho Auckland filly, he drew away and won his race comfortably by a little over a length, amid a hearty round of cheering, which was renewed as ..Tonkins brought his colt back to tho enclosure. From 'the

instant that Advanco set foot oil the Auckland convincing ground it, was recognised that lie was a colt above the average, and though in being required to carry 9st 61b it was recognised that the colt had a big task beforo him, the confidence in his ability to succeed was very pronounced, It was undoubtedly a high test to which Advance was submitted in the Auckland race, and it must be admitted that ho answered the question like a racehorse. He was practically engaged in forcing the pace the whole way, and that there was no loitering on the road is proved by the fact that the journey was got over in lm. 425. The official timckcper struck tho concluding stages of the race as follows:—Six furlongs, lm. 15 4-55.; fivo furlongs, lm. 3 l-55,; four furlongs, 50 3-ss. When tho numbers wcro hoisted for tho Hurdlo Race, it was found that Tim, Voltigeur 11., and Dingo wero to be absentees. The top weight, Favona, who stripped in capital nick, was made a. warm favourite, Korowai, who bore a much-improved appearance, being the one most fancied of the others. Korowhi was early found making the pace, and when the daughter of Ilotcliwiss was seen with a three-lengths' advantage at tho last fence but one, her prospects of scoring,bore a most roseate hue. However, in negotiating that obstacle sho ruined her chance.by a faulty jump, and, coming down, Favona, who was running immediately in her wake, collided with her, and the favourite being also brought down,' the race was left to Cannongale and Volcano, the first-named winning by about threo lengths. Though Cannongatc's chance was not in great favour, that circumstance did not stand in the way ot the public greeting the winner with a very hearty cheer, for Mr. Marshall, whose all black" the son of Cannon carried, enjoys a wido popularity, and everyone was pleased to find him once again claiming a winner. Eleven horses were saddled up for the Eden Handicap, the fibsentces being Daystar, Hohoro, Mntcroa, St. Jack, and The Afghan. Tlio Messrs. Nathan furnished a strong favourite in Hastings, the Taranakiowned maro Okoari being the one most fancied of the others. After Firefly had shown the way at tho head of a compact field for a furlong and a-half, Okoari took up the running, and the sister to Waiuku was first into the straight; but she was done with as they drew up to the main stand, where Hastings shot out in tho centre. Tho son of Seat on Delaval appeared to have the measure of hi? opponents for a few strides, and his victory was loudly proclaimed, but it was all too soon, for The Needle, finishing most gamely under punishment, came along with a strong run, and heading the favourite in the last dozen strides, drew away and won a fast-run race by half-a-length. Tho field for tho Onslow Stakes was reduced by the withdrawal of Hengist and Valedictory, but there was still a respectable field of seven to contest the youngsters raco. Aleger was a very strong order. Rosiphde was the quickest on her legs, and the daughter of Hotchkiss showed the ay across the top stretch and into the straight. She looked like holding her own at the distance, but a little further on Landlock was seen to be catching her rapidly, and the son of Flintlock, getting the best of it in tho last hundred yards, drew away and won by a length. Aleger was in trouble before they got into the straight, and she really never onco flattered the hopes of her admirers. Mara was the only withdrawal from the Pony Handicap, the field for which numbered half-a-dozen. The Slave was a warm favourite. Trooper and Pipiwharauroa cut out tho running, and that pair camo into the straight on. close terms. They swerved badly in the straight, and Tho Slave, finishing close into the rails, got home in front by a length's advantage. ' r When the numbers went up for the Railway Handicap, it was found that Tolstoi, En Hakkore, Hastings, and Mara had been withdrawn, and this reduced the field to a dozen. Though Hohoro was required to carry tho. steadier of 9st 71b. and the additional fact that already he had a severe race taken out of him, ho was regarded as tho one most likely to score, and lie was supported with such force as to cause him to rank favourite. Of the other!) Tommy Atkins and Tho Needle wore the ones most fancied. Tho summing up of backers proved a pretty accurate estimate, as the trio named fought out the issue. Tommy Atkins was quickly into his stride when the barrier went up, and sailing along with a very free stride, tho Vanguard gelding showed tho way into the straight, and, holding his own in the run home,' lie won by a length from Hohoro, with whom The Needle made a great raco for second, honours, the favourite securing tho position by a bare head.

Going up the cutting Cadiz improved bis lead to a. length from Canopus, but be.yond this there was littlo change in the positions as they swept down to the half-mile post, where Cadiz was still holding his length's advantage from Canopus, who was in turn a length to the good of Knight of Athol, who was closely attended by Admiral Ilawke and St. Jack. In the run across tho top stretch Cadiz continued to draw out, and was the best, part of two lengths in front when the home turn was entered, but swerving out as heads wero turned into tlio straight, Lietilift challenged at the distance, and, coming with a brilliant run well in on the rails, the daughter of Seaton Dclaval lasted long enough to win by a length from Canopus, Cadiz a neck away in third place, with En Hakltoro close up, and Admiral llav.ke next.

Sweeping down to the half-mile post Zealous assumed command, and had a bit the best of St. Olga in the Tun across the top stretch, where Formula was well up third, with Beddington next,' and Paphos whipping in the field. Zealous was quickest into the straight, closely followed by Formula, and whips coming out all round, a rare battle to the post was witnessed.

Across the back stretch Advance drew up to Hohoro's girths, and as they flashed past tho nix-furlong post tho pair were locked together two lengths in front of Record Reign, Rosella, and St. Ursula, with Miss Delaval bringing up tho rearmost position. In the run up tho cutting Advance got his neck in front, and as tlicy landed on tho flat had half a length the best of the deal, where ho was seen to be fighting for his head, Holioro dying away halfway across tho top stretch. Full of running, the favourite was the first to show into the straight a length in front of Rosella, and although Jenkins brought tho whip out just below tho Derby stand, it was only in tho form of a reminder, as the son of Vanguard coming again scored in the easiest fashion possible fey a bit better than a length from Rosella, Holioro a length and a-half away in third place, and Record Reign fourth.

Okoari drew on terms with Brilliant at the six-furlong post, and entering tho cutting Cavalier and St. Clements closed up to tho leading pair, these being most prominent in the run to the four-furlong post, when Honesty came through, and was running second to Okoari through tho top stretch, St. Clements occupying a handy position on tho outride. Bounding into the straight, Hastings shot into the van, and looked liko winning as the field swept up to the Derby Stand, where"Tho Necdlo threw out a challenge, and,' coming with a great rattle, succeeded in winning by a length from Hastings, Honesty filling third place.

In the run across the top stretch Rosiphele improved her advantago to a length from Landloek, who was a couple of lengths to the good ot Lady Avon, a similar distonco separating the last-named from Aleger, and tho daughter of Hotchkiss was still in the van as t boy rounded tho turn into the straight. She succeeded in holding her own to tho main stand, where Landlock drew on terms, and, having the best of the run to the post, won by a bit better than a length from Rosiphele Aleger third.

THE SECOND DAY'S RACES. NOTES AND ANTICIPATIONS, [Bt hukton.] The meeting will bo continued to-day, and with every promise of the weather again proving fine, a capital afternoon's sport seems assured. The opening event of tho programme is the Stewards' Handicap, for which 1 tako Laetitia and Minerva to bo a likely pair to fight out the finish, and the latter may bo the 0110 to win. St. Olga and Landloek stand out most dangorous for the Ellerslie Handicap, and to separato that pan' I will namo St. Olga to win. That Advance will prove a hard lint to crack in the Century Stakes is a point on which there is a consensus of opinion, and I must say that I would not care to take the risk of selecting one to beat him. However, with 151b the best of the weights, Sunt Baric, ought certainly to he equal to making a race of it with the black son of Vanguard, and if tho latter is to bo defeated Mr. Stead 3 colt may bo the one, to bring it about. Mr. Evclt has undoubtedly taken great liberties by throwing Tim in at 9st 121b, and I do not care to pick one to defeat him. Okoari should have something to say in the settlement of the Flying Handicap, but Dayntrco has the pull of the weights, and 1 will select the latter to win. If Hastings should be reserved for tho Shorts' Handicap, ho should provo hard to beat. Record Reign and Coronet are the pair that appear to mo to stand out most dangerous for the St. George's Handicap, and to separato that pair I will east my vote in favour of Record.llflign.

The Canterbury Jockey Club's Autumn Meeting commenced to-day at Riecarton. Slight rain fell in the morning, but by midday the weather had cleared, and the attendance was good.

Dundee led over the first fence, but at the hurdle opposite the stand, Beggarman, jumping poorly, was in front. The last-named, however, almost immediately lost the premier position, and at the fourth hurdle jumped the rail into the course, and took no further part in the race. The other pair kept together till after tho last feneo, when Dundee drew out, and won by two lengths. Time, 3m. 29 2-ss. Dividend, £1 lis.

Cannie Chiel and Phooka were first away, and ran together for a couple of furlongs, just clear of Formosan, with Military two or three lengths behind. Turning into the straight Formosan drew up to the loaders, and Phooka gave way. When the straight was ontered Cannie Chiel held a slight advantage of Formosan, but a few strides took the latter to the front position, which ho held comfortably to the finish, winning by two lengths from Cannie Chiol. Military, after running wide at the turn, finished very fast, only half a-lcngth behind. Cannie Chiel, Phooka and Pampero four lengths away. Time, lm. 17s. Dividend, £2 ss.

Whon fairly in the straight Malatua challenged the leader, who at once fell back, l'aladin, Benzoin, Ben Farley, and Jupiter in turn appeared in front of the ruck, but none of them seriously threatened Malatua, who ran homo an easy winner by two lengths from Jupiter, who was a length in advance of Jabber.
