RACING CARNIVALS.

DERBY DAY AT ELLERSLIE. WINNING HIT'S BLUE RIBBON. DEAD HEAT FOR A.R.C. HANDICAP. In glorioua sunshine Derby Day at Ellerslie was celebrated yesterday under ideal conditions, and with the picturesque surroundings sat off to the fullest advantage tho sceno was on© reflecting in a pronounced degree tho glories of the Auckland Racing Club's ground, fho attendance was estimated at about 25,000, which is well up to tho best previous record for Dorby Day. There was a large number of visitors from other centres, and thd Prime Minister, Mr. W. F. Massey, Sir William Horriies, Sir James Carroll, and Sir George Clifford were numbered among those present. From first to last the racing was of a highly interesting character, and with strict time observed ; throughout, matters were never once a 1- j lowed to drag. In addition there were j many pleasing incidents connected with the various contests. During tho day tho sum of £120,829 10s was invested on tho totalisator against £135,376 10s on the corresponding day last year, showing a decrease of £14,547. For the three days tho sum invested amounted to £345,521 which is £50,299 10s below the amount handled ai the same period at last season's summer gathering. In a field of 19 saddled up to conjtest the Ferguson Handicap, Ruruwai was made favourite, Amiform, The Reaver, and Golden Dream being most favoured of tho others. Golden Dream was always in front over the concluding half mile, and he won his race in good style from Ruruwai. The New Year Hurdlo Raoe attracted a field of 11 and when backers got to work it was so on made apparent that Explorer would rule favourite. Maniahera was noxt in demand, with Sea Do u and Snake most favonred of the others. The summing up found them accurate so far as Explorer and Maniahera were j concerned for tney finished first and second i respectively. Miniahera, who went to the I front five furlongs from home ; led over tho last hurdlo and ho looked like lasting it out. Explorer's challenge in the coneluding stage was, however, too much for the son of Mauiapoto, and the favourite scored a meritorious victory by a neck. Eleven youngsters went to the post for the Midsummer Handicap. Despite the fact of Epitaph being called upon to carry the stiff burden of 10.3, she always stood out as a hot favourite; and of the others Ad Astra and Mountain Lion were the pair most strongly supported. Ad Astra, who was responsible for the pace, made a bold bid to ward off Epitaph's challenge, but the favouritj got tho best of her rival in the last stride and won, amid much excitement, by a head. The victory of Epitaph led to a display of enthusiasm when she cams back to tho enclosure, and such was well deserved. Brilliant Winning Hit, The succeeding event was the Great Northern Derby, for which the field was reduced to a quartette by the respective withdrawals of Purple Spur and Spirit Level. The quartette, composed of Winning Hit, Thespian, The Hawk, and Loyal Irish, all looked well, and they all acquitted themselves well in the preliminary gallops. Winning Hit always stood out favourite, Thespian being next in demand, with The Hd.wk and Loyal Irish backed in that order. Considerable curiosity was evinced as to how the race would be run, and which of the contestants would go out to make the pace. That point was very quickly settled? by Winning Hit when the barrier shot up, for I the favourite at onco clapped on the i pace, and streaking right away, he had | a lead of something like ten lengths i when the first three furlongs had been covered. Thespian, who had gradually crept up, came along with a stiff challenge to the favourite at the distance, and when he headed the favourite at the main stand a cry went up in his favour. \ It was all too scon however. Winning Hit came again, and the favourite, finishing up his task brilliantly, he drew away and 5 j won by a length and a-half. Tho victory 1 ; of Winning Hit was received with marked ® j enthusiasm, and Sir George Clifford; who ' i was present, it is hardly necessary tc 3 ! state, was the recipient of many warm ' I congratulations on the success of his 1 ! colours. After the race Winning Hit was * led on to the lawn by his trainer, H. , Cutts, when the pleasing ceremony ol placing the blue ribbon round his neck was performed by Miss DoTothy Nolan, daughter of Mr. Henry Nolan, one ol the oldest members of the A.R.C. Committee, amidst enthusiastio cheering. Winning Hit was bred at Stonyhurst by Sir GeoTge Clifford, and a highly interesting fact connected therewith is that the Derby winner is home-bred for three generations, Winning Hit's victorv , marks the fifth occasion on which - Sir George Clifford has witnessed bis t colours borne to victory in the /' Great Northern Derbv— Husbandmar j \ (1909), Kilwinning (1910), Counterfeit 1 (1912), and Royal Stag (19201, being th< i previous winners of the Ellerslie rac< , under the popular " yellow and blue -1 chequers." c • Silver Link wag withdrawn from the 1 Newmarket Handicap, which left a field ol nine to contest the six furlong race > (Rational was made favourite, with Sol fanello best backed of the others. Rationa c made a pood bid for victory, but Solfan t, ello was found at his b st, and the son o: t Solferino ran home a winner bv a length . in the good time of lm. 12 3-ss. i A Sensational Finish. I When tho numbers went up for the | A.R.C. Handicap it was found that Starj land was an absentee, a field of elever ; being saddled up to contest the mile anc j a-half race. Uncle Ned was made favour I ite, tho others being backed in the 5 following orderßouen, Insurrection, / Malaga, Egotism, Loverr.atch, Royal Star, j Vagabond, Tinohoro, Mangamahoe, anc Boomerdav. When they were despatched " | Tinohoro endeavoured to repeat his feat i of 12 months back, and the son of Quir ' ; Abbey flattered the hopes of his ad i miress until tho straight was reached ! where he faded away. Mangamahoe anc | Boomerday, who were always racing wel 1 up, came into the straight on close terms n 1 and fighting out a highly exciting finish if the judge was unable to separate them and declared a dead-heat. While Roner r was oidy a head away, third, and wit] e Egotism clone up, the finish was of th< d highly exciting order. The race was rju u at a solid pace throughout, and the timi p recorded (2m 325) is a fresh record. Afte; the race the .stewards held an inquir; p. ; into the cause of some interference me if with by Uncle Ned. The evidence adducee d , pointed to tho occurrence being accidental j. | and no further action was necessary. 5 . I A field of thirteen lined up for thi d i Ellerslie Handicap, for which Zircon wa | selected as first choice, with Som' >y Fashion and Whipping Bov well fancie< If by the public. Some Fashion led to th [ t straight, and in a good finish Zircon go s '_ up to win by a neck, Marble Slab, wlv came well in the straight, being third. In the concluding event, the Glasgow Handicap, Landslide was made favourite Mustard Pot, Miss Mimic, and Gold Ki also being wel] backed. In a fast rac p.

Ad Astra carried the field along at a solid \ pace in the race up the straight, and she t still had the best of it at the half-distance, j where Epitaph submitted her challenge in , full force.

Galloping down the straight with a free stride. Winning Hit had increased his advantage to 10 lengths, Loyal Irish being still second, with Thespian and The Hawk together. In the run along tho bottom stretch Thespian 1 ran up second, and as they reached the six-furlongs post Winning Hit's advantage had been reduced to five lengths, but the favourite was still galloping strongly. Thespian and The Hawk continued to lessen the gap separating them from the leader in the race across the top stretch, but Winning Hit was still well out in front when the bend was reached, and he had two lengths i the Dest of it at the head of the straight. With the paco right on, Thespian and The Hawk challenged the favourite at the distance, and, the former drawing level with his chestnut rival 150 yards from home, he , seemed to have the best of it for a few , strides.
