The Second Handicap Hurdles was a disap pointing evont, no less than four failing t< finish, including Mahzoltov, the favourite who was taken off at one of the early ob stacles owing to Ermagh falling. Orpheun: scored a bloodless victory from Signltun in moderate time. Northland broke down. Active improved vastly on bis first day'i form and won the Hikutaia Handicap rathe: easily, after cutting the favourite out of tin lead early. Earl Marshal proved somethinj of an outlaw at the barrier and failed to taKi any part in tie race. . Taiamai scored her fifth successive victorj in tho Waitekauri Handicap, never lcavinf the result in doubt from tho time tho fiolc settled down. Queon Abbey made a grea' effort throughout but found laiamai to< good. Recent form pointed to Rockfield ant Royal Irish fighting out the finish of thi Paeroa Handicap, and they filled the leadinj places. Though Rockfield won comfortably, Royal Irish, -who returned ft falso divicionct

ra(ky h»vo been closer had be not got snowed it) slightly at the start. Blue Cross again finished gamely and got third money. Canzonette broke his maiden bv capturing the Miners' Hack event nicely in the straight, after always being prominent. Mottle Rose may have finished closer than third with more experienced, handling. Elgan, who won on the opening day, really took no part in tho finish over tho business end.Ncwlant and Admiral Advance fell alter passing the post. A good favourite in Housewife failed to eet nearer than Becond in the Waikino Wolt«r, Oarryowen winning handsomely from an early eta-go. Fabriquette put in a great run over the concluding stages, but finally registered third money onlv, after different attempts were made at tho d lacings by those in chargo. , ... The steeplechase proved ft fmr proposition for Tenacious, who had to be pulled about a lot to keep with his field in the early stages. Ojd Golden Glow made ft great bid for the honours, but second money was his portion when Roe asked Tenacious for a serious i effort. It looked as if Plenipotent way have given Tenacious a moro severe test had he no', met with mishap by falling just when making his run. He afterwards regained his feet, but was badly cut about, and bled to death aftor careering about for » term. Mossman had no great difficulty in capturing the final event, the Waihi Handicap, He nulled to tho front and everytime he was challenged made easy of tho task, and ran homo a comfortable victor from Lord Kenilworth, who finished on well in the straight. p OPUNAKE RACING CLUB.
