SPRING RACING.

OPENING OF CAB,RIVALS. * THE ELLERSf-TE MEETING. HIGHLAND WINS CHIEF RACE. ROUEN'S NEW ZEALAND CUP. The spring racing season was ushered In at Ellerslie under auspicious circumstances on Saturday, when the first clay of the Auckland Racing Club's meeting was held and proved a marked success. The Canterbury Jockey Club's activities were also successfully launched at Riccarton with the New Zealand Cup a3 tho chief attraction on the programme. In Australia the Victoria Racing Club's meeting was opened at Melbourne. The winners of the chief events run in both the Dominion and Australia on Saturday were as follows: — AUCKLAND— G.N Guineas .« tl Miss Egypt Welcome Stakes en ~ Motley Mitchelson Cup * « ~ Highland CANTERBURY— New Zealand Cup *. . . Rouen Stewards' Handicap „. Glentruin Welcome Stakes . R . . Inferno AUSTRALIA— Melbourne Stakes . . ... Rivoli Victoria Derby . . Frances Tressady Cantala Stakes .. . . - . Claro The totalisator receipts at the Auckland Racing Club's meeting showed an increase of £6405 10s on last year's figures, but as the Canterbury Jockey Club s meeting a. decrease.of £7149 had to be noted. THE AUCKLAND MEETING. MANY SURPRISING VICTORIES. MISS EGYPT WINS GUINEAS. The A-H-C. meeting was lie red in under ideal weather conditions, and tbero •was an attendance of 17,000> which can be voted a record for a spring gathering at Ellerslie. The picturesque grounds, with their lavish horticultural displays, were seen to good advantage, while the condition of the race track was a theme of most favourable remark. The management of the meeting left nothing to be desired; and the arrangements made by the secretary, Mr. W. S. Spence, worked out most satisfactorily ' under all headings. The racing was never allowed to drag and the concluding event was started promptly to time. With strong fields a feature of the day the starter, Mr. C. O'Connor, was confronted with several difficult tasks, but, as usual, he mastered the various situations with characteristic ability. The Orchestral Band, under the leadership of Mr. Ballantine _ Burnnand. rendered the musical portion ot the programme on the lawn, while the 3rd, Auckland. Mounted Rifles Band, under Mr. G. Bowes, performed similarly i in the Leger reserve, and the tuneful airs rendered contributed greatly to the enjoy ment of the outing. , The only matter necessitating th» summoning of the stewards arose in connection with the Gordon Handicap contest. ' Inside the distance there was evWence of an infringement of the rule of the road, and an inquiry instituted resulted in J. O'Shea, rider of Heisler. being fined £10 for crossing. The stewards considered that the offence was not deliberate, but rather in the nature of a serious error of judgment, and in addition to the fine mentioned they administered a cauCion to the offending jockey. Messrs. .A. W. Gordon and A. Wilson were the stipendiary stewards present. The totalisator investments dnriag the day amounted to £73,295 10s, compared with £66,929 last year, which represents an increase of £6405 10s. Surprise victories were a feature of the racing, and of the eight events that came up for decision Motley and Highland were the only first favourites to claim the attention of the judge. Horses hailing from Waikato stables captured exactly half the events of the programme. Opening Surprise. The Trial Hurdle Race brought out a good-looking field of 15, and the support accorded Pentagram was such as to send the Australian-bred gelding out a warm favourite. A suprise, however, proved to be in store. Pentagram went iip to win his race six furlongs from home, but CQuld not get past Daddy's Girl, who was making the pace, and he was practically -beaten at the head of the straight. Silverton came along in good style in the concluding stage, and he was followed home by another outsider in the shap of Royal Fame. The Classic Event. The Great Northern, Guineas was the succeeding event, and when the numbers went up lor the mile classic race it was found that Gaillard, Black-eyed Susan and Muria had been withdrawn, leaving a field of 15 contestants. Queen • March, • whose jet black coat fairly glinted in the sunlight, stripped in most blooming condition, and Mr. Eliot Davis had the distincton of furnishing a good favourite in the daughter of Lucullus. It was a wellbehaved field that lined up at the post, and the barrier went up almost to the moment fixed for the start. i The purple jacket borne by Queen March was quickly picked out in the van, but the favourite was steadied in the race up the back stretch, and Reremoana acted the role of pace-maker right into the straight. The final stages, however, found Reremoana in difficulties, and as they came to the half distance, Queen March, Suggestion, Pel ham, and Miss Egypt were engaged in an exciting battle for supremacy. Miss Egypt, who got a clear run on the rails, finished hp her task with marked grit, and won by a head from Pelham, who was separated by a similar distance from Queen March. Miss Egypt, who was bred by Mr. T. H. Lowry, of Hawkes Bay, formed one of a collection of yearlings sent up for auction at, Ellerslie in the summer of 1921, and she was secured cheaply for 65 guineas. The Two-Year-Olds. Fifteen youngsters were produced to contest the Welcome Stakes, and they ail carried a bright appearance in the matter of physique. Nigger Minstrel, a full brother to the brilliant Desert Gold, and the Australian-bred colt Cawnpore, an appro-priate'y-named son of Lucknow,' undoubtedly took the palm. It was, however, on the Wanganui filly Motley that most attention was conferred when backers got to work- Motley always ruled a strong favourite, and she very amply endorsed the opinion promulgated in her favour' for she took command at the start, and rompod home an easy winner Motley, whe is a lengthy daughter of Absurd and the Coriander mare Pennon, carried the colours of her breeder, Mr. G. M. Currie. Gross-Country Event. The Hunters' Steeplechase brought out a field of nine, Waikawa being installed favourite. Tho jumping was of a olever character in the first round, and the sight as the nine contestants charged the double all of a heap, was quite impressive. Bonny Heather and Lady Bruce jumped the post and rail fences in the final round together, Bruce seemed to have the best of it Heath 8 \^ le hiil > but Brown favour iS the matter decisively in his tiring Big Be^W 0 ? 6 ' id Lad Bruce ours.

Outright Victory tor Plnelu. f: ;>■ The Shorts Handicap attracts ' „ . I .... Of 19. The Wanganui nutr^v * fieI d ,< made favourite, but he was never sLffi 111 near the leading division. Finelu, Sfevpas' favourably placed by having No , I li I Position at the post was quickly b \A' directly the barrier shot up, a nd ' 3£ Loehter of Finland, streaking away r her

| opponents a chance in the straight,, and ! eh® romped home an easy winner. Fr.nelh started in the position of third favourite, which of coarse pointed to the victory being well anticipated by her party. The Mitchelson Cup found a field of 16 on hand to contest the mile and a-half iace, and, as was fully anticipated, it wasj made the channel for spirited speculation Highland, who stripped in splendid condition, was sent out favourite with the English-bred colt Musketoon next in demand. Highland fulfilled all anticipations. The Finland gelding was never further back than fourth, and when Ashley Reed called upon his mount to go up and dispose of the pacemakers, Tinohoro and Boomerday at line head of the straight, the favourite ansvrered tho question in racc-horse-like style, and ho was never seriously threatened in the concluding stages. The top weight, Surveyor, made a game effort in the last 100 yds. of the journey, and 50yds. from home it seemed as though the top-weight would fill the role of run-ner-up, but To Kara's finishing effort proved just a little too strong for the veteran son of Nassau and the lightweight scored by a neck. Musketoon never succeeded in getting near the leaders, but he was hemmed in for a good portion of the journey. Outsider Beats Big Field. The gnea& field of 37 went to the post for the Gordon Handicap, and the bracketed pair Kilroe and Sunny Roe, who arc the produce of the Soult mare Merry Roe, and who carried the colours of the Gisborae sportsman Mr. F. Hall, was the popular selection, but neither succeeded in claiming the attention of the judge. When the field reached tho half distanco it was difficult to say how the verdict would go between at least half a dozen. Tho final stage, however saw an outsider in the shape of King Merv dash into the lead, and he won in good style by a length from Heisler. The Surprise of the Day. When the numbers went up for the Flying Handicap, which was the concluding event of the day, it was found that a field of 19 was to go to the post for the seven furlongs race. The Australian-bred gelding Cool Stimulants was the one singled out for most attention. Once again, however, the whole of the favourite division had to accept defeat at the hands of an outsder. Shebang, Sentinella, Refinement, aud Ami form all played a part at different stages in forcing the pace, but when Raceful came on the scene with a characteristic Martian rush in the final 6tage, a victory for the bay horse was always well tipped with certainty. As Raoeful ruled an outsider, it may be inferred that his followers handled a solid dividend as a result of the victory of the Waikato horse.

Reremoana showed the way through the cutting a length, clear of Peiham. with Himpo, Queen March and White Comet handy. Reremoana was first into the straight from Queen March, Pelham and Himpo, while Suegestion and Miss Egypt were prominent. Queen March and Pelham headed Reremoana below the distance, and Suggestion challenged, on the outside. Then Miss Egypt came through on the rails and. in a splendid finish, the lost named secured the verdict by a head from Pelham. who was a similar distance in front of Queen March.

THE CANTERBURY MEETING. CUP DAY AT RICCARTON. ROUEN'S SURPRISE VICTORY. [BY TELEGRATH. —OWN CORRESPONDENT.] CHRISTCHURCH. Saturday. The Spring Meeting of the Canterbury Jockey Club Was commenced to-day in fine weather. His Excellency the GovernorGeneral. Lord Jellicoe, was present. There was a large attendance, though it seemed that there were no sot so many visitors at Riccarton as usual. There was some exceptionally fine racing. A feature* of the proceedings was the success of M. McCarten, who rode the winners of the New Zealand Cup, Stewards' Handicap, and Welcome Stakes. < The totalisator investments were ■ £71.997, compared with £79,141 on the corresponding day last year. Favourites Go Down. The opening event of the programme, the Spring Hurdle Race, attracted a field of seven. Sir Roseberry was a good deal better backed than Sir Fanciful, while after this pair, with the exception of Lord Ashlea, the others were evenly supported. Lord Ashlea after being in front with Rod Admiral for seven furlongs, faded out badly, owing to the saddle slipping, and ho finished last. Cerebufl beat Red Admiral decisively. Rorke'e Drift came with a strone late run to get third; then came Sir Roseberry and Falstaff together. Sir Fanciful fell at the first hurdle. The winner is a brilliant galloper on the tracks and he ran out the two miles much better than usual. Sir Roseberry was a disappointment. There were seven starters for the Spring Piatt. Soliform was a strong favourite, with Red Wink the one other backed confidently. Soliform was out in front all the way but had to be ridden out to win by a length from Black Ronald, who outstayed Red Wink, then came Mountain Crag, who ran a great race after getting off badly. Red Wink may do better over seven furlongs later on. In a field of 21 for the Linwood Handicap, Goldtowu, Armillary, and Glaive carried most money. Uleaborg was in charge early, with Armillary, Goldtown, and Gossard handy, while Geranial joined in at the distance. Then Swallow Flight came along with a strong run and finishing very straight, he got up in time to beat Uleaborg on the post. Geranial was close up with Goldtown, Knocklyn, and Gossard next. The winner is by Autumnus from Fleeting, who was a speedy mare when she liked. Swallow Flight is generally regarded as a doubtful customer, out he won gamely in this race. It was his second win, the other being scored at Rangiora last week.

The Gap Surprise, The scratching of Auckland left seventeen runners for the New Zealand Cup Roseday just headed Muraahi for favouritism; while Pilliewinkie and Palestrina were beet backed among the others Happy Warrior led for half a mile when Quest headed him, Roseday, Royal Star, Kilbird, Kilgour, and Dame Straitlace being next. The two leaders were well clear at.Cutts', but on the mile post Kilbird had joined them, while Vagabond and Muraahi were moving up from the back. Happy Warrior was an trouble five furlongs from home. Quest going on from Kilbird, who was then lengths clear of the next bunch, in which Royal Star, Vagabond, and Muraahi were most prominent. Quest led into the straight, but then Dame Btraitlace put in her claim. At the distance tha Kilbroney mare had taken charge, while Royal Star, Muraahi, and Kilbird were still going well, with Rouen handy. Rouen gradually wore the leaders down and beat Dame Straitlace in the last few strides by a neck. Roseday came again on the rails to get third place, followed _by Royal Star, Pilliewinkie, Deucalion, Kilbird, Quest, and Muraahi in a bunch. The winner was beautifully handled, his run being well timed. Dame Straitlace ran a great race, and! just failed at the end. She is a greatly improved mare. Mr. J. S. Barrett, her owner, was unlucky, as he was. second with Foo Ckow last year. Roseday appeared to be beaten when he dropped back' five furlongs from _ home, but he finished well. But foT losing his _ position he would probably haye won. His rider, A. H. Wilson, was asked to explain his handline of the favourite. He said that two horses ran past him, and he was shut in, and did not get an opening until he reached the straight. Royal Star ran a solid race, showing unusual dash in the early stages. Pilliewinkie and Deucalion were never prominent till they came on the scene in the straight. Quest ran one of his usual races, fading out at the end, while Kilbird failed similarly. Muraahi looked a likely winner at the distance, but then stopped and was not persevered with when his chance was gone. Vagabond collapsed on reaching the straight after running a good race to that point. Scion, Scotch Mixture, Palestrina, Little River, and Kilgour never threatened danger. Happy Warrior helped to set the pace for a mile and a quarter and then dropped to the rear.

Killochxa Defeated. For the Welcome Stakes Killocra was a good deal better backed than Inferno, these two monopolising the betting. Killocra led Gamebag, Tresham, Inferno, Lava and Rouex to the course proper. - At the distance Inferno moved up and finishing strongly, he beat Killocra by half a length. Rouex was a length away, with Tresham and Gamebag almost on terms. The winner appears to have been improved by his - , race at Trentham and he ran a great race. Gamebag, who was making her first appearance, showed plenty of speed, and kept Killocra so busy in the early stages that lie had nothing left for the finish. Gamebag, who is a sister to Wild Hind, looks a promising sort. In a field of nine for the Apprentices' Handicap, Barmaid, Dutch Clock, and Frisco Mail were the popular fancies. Gonaria led Goosswtep and Lucinette to the straight. Lucinette then took charge, but alio had to be ridden out to beat' Stream, who would have won with a more vigorous rider. Dutch Clock just beat Goosestep for third place, and then came Barmaid. who may run better with a stronger horseman. The winner, who is by Martian from Lady Lucy, is useful on. her day. but is not reliable. When Glentruin Shone, For the Stewards' Handicap a field of nineteen went to the post. Mr. F. D. Jones' bracketted pair. Glentruin and Murihaupo. was backed down to a short price, with Tukia easily second choice, with Rational next. _ Mireusonta set the early pace, and on reaching the course proper, the colours of Murihaupo, Tukia, Glentruin,. and Barn Owi could also bo seen prominent. Mireusonta was still going well at the distance, but Glentruin, on the rails, got up to beat him by a neck, while Murihaupo was only a length away and then came Tukia and Barn Owl together, with Razzle Dazzle, Peneua and Lovesign close up, The winner's performance was a brilliant one, and she most rank as tho best epricter in the Co*

minion. Murihaupo also ran i great race, and obviously be has benefited by bis racing in Australia. Tukia was always prominent, and so was Barn Owl. whose performance was very fine for a filly who had only started twioo previously. She looks a likely winner before the close of the meeting. Razzle D&ZJil© finished well after meeting with interference early. Refrigeration also struck trouble. It was caused in both cases by Parody, a horse ridden by J. Hall. The latter was suspended for a month. Ardour, Zouave and Prince Ferouz were backed in that order for the Riccarton Welter Handicap. Picaninny led to the straight and then retired, as did Ardour, who was second at that stage. In a good race home Prince Feroua beat Zouave by a length, with Angelo another length away; then came Some Kid, Cleasanta, and Manua close up. Prince Ferouz. has raced consistently this season, and is a good welter horse. Angelo, who was. one of the outsiders of the field, ran particularly well;
