Tho most noticeable feature of the spring meeting of the Auckland Trotting Club w»S that of the 16 events decided 14 were won by horses trained in the district, and this, despite the fact that a strong contingent of Southerners was seen out competing for the stake money. On eoven different occasions, i Canterbury-owned hordes were made favourite in different races, and only one of these proved equal to the confidence placed in its prospects. This was when Wallace Wood captured the October Handicap on opening day. When he won the Pah Handicap, he was returned as tho second choice of tiia public. Of tho six favourite selections vhiih tailed, not one moved oil kindly from tho start, except Wallace Wood, who finished second to Derby Dillon in the principal event on the first day of the meeting. However, it was not owing to want of paco that tho Southerners referred to did not earn place I money. it was owing to the fact that they j had been educated to tHe moving start. ] However, before the next contingent arrives j for competition al Alexandra Park, its mem--1 bers will probably bo more competent to act kindly under tho improved methods of starting adopted by the local trotting authorities. Tho above remarks aro not intended to suggest that there was no merit attached to the successes achieved by the victors, for it is generally admitted that a wonderful improvement hits been shown in the quality , of the light-harness horse owned in the North of late year?, and it would be useless to contend that horses of tho stamp of i Derby Dillon, Strategy, Master Park, Tim i Doolan, Ludski, and others are of the mediocre older. None of those mentioned may be champions, but they are certainly possessed of sufficient pace to warrant the contention that Auckland is possessed of a much " better class of light-harness borne than formerly. The fact that such a large percentage of victories was recorded in favour of district-trained candidates at the recent spring meeting should certainly infuse more enterprise into local enthusiast,', and it may I not bo too much to say that in a very few i years Auckland will be recognised on tho ! name plane as Canterbury, so far as trotting !is concerned If Canterbury can afford to 1 provide a £2500 cup for competition, thcrfl ■ is no reason why Auckland cannot do the same as soon as "nthusiasts possessed of tho venturesome spir't deride to import the best class of trotting thoroughbreds to breed from. The premier trotting club of the North Island will not be slow to move in providing the public, trainer, and owner alike with improved facilities at Alexandra Park as noon as possible. Some of our young trainers are evidently cogniF-int of that fact judging by their efforts to influent* owners to obtain the bert possible material to work upon. Trotting is now firmly established in our midst, and its development within the next few years, will be surprising to most people. The exhibition of pace displayed by Reggie Hnon at the rear of the Alexandra Handicap field on Monday last was greatly appreciated by spectators, and Clarke, who drove the chestnut, received an outburst of applause as ho set the son of Denver Htton at his best pace past the stand. Regeie Huon, made it plain to onlookers that he would have been troublesome to the opposition had he left the mark when commanded to do so. Clarke knew his charse had no prospects of success, but merely treated the patrons of the Auckland Trotting Club to » worthy exhibition. Derby Dillon must be accented as * genuine stayer, for he won both his races »l Alexandra Park in attractive style a* the rigM end. His prospects in the Auckland Trotting Cup are already beinr discussed. Bowever, he will be pitted against a much better class at the summer meeting than he met last week. W. Abbott was deserving of the successes achieved by Tim Doolan and Strategy »» Alexardra Park, for he is of a venturesome spirit where trotters are concerned, and has had a team in hand continuudrly for the last , ; ; few years, without meeting with more than » ,; fair share of success. He recently expert- . enced a fire at his Ngaruawahia quarters. ~ which destroyed much of his trotting harness • and gear, besides losing heavily in other,.;: • stock. $;M Salamander performed very . consistemlv during the recent sprinjr meeting at Aler* andra Park, without registering a win. 1M : son of Nimrod— Glitters finished second on v. three different occasions, and fourth in nil final atari.
