Sly Miss was early in tho lead, _ and with Himalaya' and Zulieka well positioned, she remained in front until well into the straight, where Zulieka made her effort, and beating off the opposition in the run from the distance the daughter of Seaton Dela\al drew away, and scored comfortably by a length and a-half. : . Northumberland was most to the liking oj investors in the field of five that weighed out for the Calliope Handicap.' The favourite was, however, never really dangerous, tho race going to Gladisla, who ran up to 'Austerlitz the best part of two furlongs from home, and being quickest into the .straight she experienced no difficulty in winning without the whip by over a length. Ihe (winner is a daughter of Seaton Delaval and Bliss Gladys. \ - , . [ A good field of If faced the . barrier ( for Vie Ztalandia Handicap, Tolstoi and Gold Feb being the only;withdrawals. The race - fas accounted for by the gelding Reclaimer, jrlio proved such a disappointment to his ! jonnections at Ellerslie. The Recluse gelding went to the front soon after the field • -fern released, and cutting out a solid pace throughout' the journey, defeated St. Olga iy a counle of lengths in good style. • Defender was tho only withdrawal in the Takapuna Cup, leaving a field : of six to con-. jest the mile and a-half race, the top-weight, Bluejacket, being most backed, while Rosella [vas -also accorded' a large measure of - support! Coronet was ono of tho first to move, - but they had not left half-a-mile behind il«*m before Regalia 11. took charge, and closely Attended by Coronet lie was responsible for the running until they reached the top stretch In the homo run. Here Coronet again shot up,: and heading off the son of Regel in the next few strides he never afterwards left the issue in doubt, ultimately winning in the Easiest possible fashion by four lengths. The favourite was clearly beaten the_ best part of 'half-a-mile from home; and failed to get .Bearer than fifth. ■, 1 Tlie Hack Handicap attracted a field of 17, Gateloclc being installed favourite, while Mechanic was best backed of the others. From a straggling start Gat clock and Miss Lottie were quickest on their feet, out l eu.re the top stretch was reached Leo Delaval had ranged herself alongside the leading pair, and finishing up her task gamely, the daughter of Seaton Delaval won by a head from -Miss Lottie, paying the sensational dividend oil the inside totalisator of £322 4s. _ Seven was the main for the First Handicap Hurdles, the top-weight, Evening Wonder ~ being the one to claim most attention i from investors. Tho r favourite/ who occupied a good position all? through, had no difficulty in beating off a challenge thrown out, by" Royal Conqueroji half-a-mile from home, and winning with something to spare by over a length from the Flintlock gelding, .who was under pressure.) '" Sentinel was most in favour for the Pony Handicap, for which there were 13 starters. When the barrier shot up the Taranaki- , owned pony, Sea Spray, shot into tho lead, and, never headed, she won by over three lengths from Orange anil Blue, tho favourite -finishing with tho rear division. ) 1 The sport , concluded with the Stewards Handicap, for which there were 10 starters.
