PAKURANGA HUNT CLUB. SURPRISE IN CUP CONTEST. VICTORY FOR BEAU CAVALIER. JELLICOE HANDICAP TO LOMINT. YORK ABBEY WINS DUNEDIN.

The Pakuranga Hunt meeting was held at Ellerslie on Saturday, and with spring weather conditions prevailing racegoers were present in strong force to assist at tho gathering, which passed off most pleasantly. The arrangements made by the race secretary, Mr. W. 5. Spence, met the situation admirably under all headings, and with prompt time observed throughout the proceedings were never allowed to drag. The totalisator investments amounted to £51,398 10s, compared with £56,106 last year, which reperesents a decrease of £4707 10s. It has, however, to be noted that last year's meeting was held during the visit of the American Fleet to Auckland, which no doubt contributed to the increase in the totalisator returns. Several horses fell during the contests in the jumping ; events, but fortunately •without- any serious results. E. Warner, who was hurt, was sent to the District Hospital to be treated for a bruised shoulder. After the running of the Sylvia Handicap an inquiry was held into some interference which Dress Circle encountered from Blue Sky. The occurrence was found to ba quite accidental. Favourites Come to Grief. In a field of eight saddled up to contest the Greenmount Steeplechase Cui Bono and Sea Comet wore ths popular fancies, but they both came to grief. Bahadur looked like coming in by himself when the run down the hill in the final round came to be undertaken, but he got into a soft patch in the dip, with the result that he slipped and fell, and Dimlight was thus enabled to score }vhat was probably a lucky win. E. Stanawny, who had the mount on Bahadur, hung on to the reins when his horss regained his feet, and vaulting into the saddle brought his mount home third. The Hunters' Hurdle Race found Fair Abbey favourite, with Pendavies second in demand. Fair Abbey fell at the fifth hurdle. Pendavies answered all demands and he scored an easy • victory from Beau Cavalier. Australian Defeated. The Sylvia Handicap attracted a field of nine, the. Australian horse Dress Circle being made favourite; with Royal Form next in demand. They both made a good dash for victory, but Rahepoto's finishing effort was superior and victory went to the latter. Tho Jellicoe Handicap, which was. the leading. flat event of the programme, brought out a field of 15. Lord Star was made favourite, Lornint and-Tresham being the pair most fancied of the others. Lomint, who was always galloping well, had command thrco furlongs from home, and the daughter of Catmint stl'eaking right away in the concluding stag" she. ten home an easy winner. The Hunt Cup Contest. The succeeding event, the Pakuranga Hunt Cik>, had ten starters; and when speculators got to work they made Birkenose favourite, Lupiueel and Pendavies boing tho others to command most attention, A surprise proved to be in s'ore, however. Beau Cavalier, who ' jumped very cleverly throughout, got home first in front of another outsider in the shape- of Stonewall, amid a good deal of excitement. After the race the handsome cup which formed the trophy was presented ■by the- master of the Pakuranga Hunt, Mr. H. Bullock"Webster, in a happy . speech,, and the owner of the winner, Mt. A. G. Quurtley, was tiie recipient of many warm congratulations on the success; of his colours. The' Auckland Handicap was the next event to claim attention, Quirivardia was tlie one singled out for most attention, but Lady Cintra and Chamour were also, strongly supported. A three-yaar-olrl colt in the shape, of Chamour led the field home in ..attractive style. The winner is a full brother to Lomint, who won the Jellicoe Handicap earlier in • the clay. ; Both Lomint and Chamour were bred by Mr. B. Goldwater, and they both carried his colours on Saturday. .'- The Ladies' Bracelet.,

Nine tiorses were on .hand to contest the Ladies' . "Bracelet. Clockwork and Bizarro were the popular fancies. Tiio. summing-up prove;] to be justified, as that pair fought out (he finish. Bizarro finished up his task very gamely, and won hi, race at 'the right end. Dr. A, McGregor Grant steered Bizarro, and the victory was extremely popular, The concluding event of the programme was the Dunedin Handicap, and with the strong field of 25 saddled up to contest the . six furlongs race it gave rise to spirited speculation. Phaola counted sufficient admirers to send her out favourite, _ York , Abbey ' being the one most fancied of the other contestants. Hoariri looked like winning, inside, the halfdir.tanco, but York .Abbey had all the best of his rival in the last dozen strides and victory went to the Waikato gelding.

Lupineel fell' at'ths fence by the six furlong post and Brown Heath came down at the flame fence. The four leading positions were unchanged ascending" the hill, but Bahadur and Advent fell, at-the first fence on the hill.

Having got through, the bustle and" excitement of the Grand National week, we are now experiencing a quiet time. ' which is thoroughly appreciated by everyone. All the visiting horses from north: and . south have gone home, the last to get away being some of the North Island contingent, whose departure 'Was delayed until Tuesday night. Since then the ( tracks; have 'been unusually dull. We have not even had .full local teams to provide interest, as moßt of the horses who- iraced .at the recent meeting are now enjoying, a short let'up. prior to starting on their preparation for the spring circuit. . During the present week, in fact, interest in the track -doings has been_ confined Chiefly;' to" the. horses who have not been racing lately and their work is not of a character yet to provide a great-deal of excitement.' Things will soon 'liven up, however, as; most of the horses will be m active commission again next week, with a view to being ready for the earliest of, the spring fixtures, which will start next month. The two-year-olds are also being bustled along a bit now and soon their doings will commence to attract attention, though they will not l)e wanted' for racing /until' the Dunedin Jockey Club's -meeting in October.

There have been a few changes in locai teams since the close of the Grand National •meeting. . This is a usual occurrence, after the fixture, which represents the end of the jumping season. A. E, Worrnald has sent, three of hia jumpers home. ' The steeplechaser ' Bed Cent has gone , back to Hawke's Bay. He won the Homeby Steeplechase at the Christchurch Hunt Club's meeting, but his performances. at the- Grand National meeting were, poor. The fact is that he does not stay well enough to be worth troubling about for important cross-country events. Bonatic has also gone for a spell, but he, will be back in a few month? for - another, trial as a hurdler. At best, however, he is only a moderate. The veteran Vagabond is another who 'has left Riccarton; In his case the departure is. likely to be permanent. He nas given.. Worm aid a, lot of trouble and, as his; legs' make ,it appear doubtful he will survive angthelr preparation. it: is unlikely .he will "be trained again. J, B. Pearson has sent Tenterfield -back to. the West Coast, after having Him for the recent jumping carnival. \ The . Sea Prince gelding can gallop :• and jump when he likes, but this is not often. The Varco gelding Valdamo < has gone home to Southland. He • was sent to J. B Pearson to be trained for'hurdle races, but he was lame wheti he arrived here and nothing was done with him. ' • Master Peter lias been sent to North Otago. where his " new owners, reside. He was very sore after .the Lincoln Steeplechase. as a result of hitting a fence with a stifle and he may reotiire a bit of a rest. Charlatan has finished racing for -the present He will remain With ,T. H. Gillett in the meantime, at any rate, but he will be used only as a hack and no attempt will be made to train him-.until, it is time to get him ready for next winter's , cross-coun-try engagements. .With two wins to his credit at the Dunedin meetine in Juhej his record this winter was satisfactory from a financial point of view, while his third in the Grand National Steeplechase, ' apart from bringing! substantial place money, was evidence of better form than many were prepared for. He is still a young horse and he may: do still better nest year. The hurdler Bonomel has left R. Lcmgley's stable and he will be trained in future by R. C. Keeper, at Orari. He .has been a great disappointment for, some time past and Longley willingly acauie'eceffl with the towner in the suggestion to try out new surroundings. in the .hope that they would produce improved form., Projector •with a -slight mishap on th 6 eve of the recent meetings and he had to forfeit his hurdle engagements. He is practically all right again and h'e, will soon be in work, with a view to the spring meeting. This is the second tme lie hns liar! nn accident on the eve of a meeting a! Riccarton, where he missed running last Easter. Perhaps the luck will turn now, in' which case he will ba a dangerous customer for hurdle,-races in November,' when they are sometimes very easy to win. ;Rapier had the xnisforthne to - pick tip a nail the day prior to the Winter, Cupand he could not race at the meeting. He is nearly all right again and H. Nurse hopes to have him in work shortly. D Campbell has hud Deuoahon and Moorland on the easy list for a few days, but he hopes to have them working again nest •week. In the case of rDeucalion a .long spell is inadvisable, as he, puts on condition very quickly, while with advancing years' it bocomes more difficult to . get ; him at; his best. Moorland's form at the Grand National meeting makes "him- look a firstclass prospect for the spring meetings. Carnot. who has been on the walking list for a few weeks, as a result of a cold he contracted at Trentham early last month, is all right' again' .and J. Boyd will have him in work next week. It was bad luck to have him "go wrong-when he was in such good fettle.. . v.--' The hurdler Don Fisher was -schooled over n couple of' hurdles on Wednesday. His jumping was only moderate, but : he was taken at :the'' obstacles at a hand canter and he may do 'better' when 'raced over them. . , ' , t ' ' :

. Nincompoop. Haze and Lucinda 'are again members of P. V. Mason's active team, which also includes Precious. Delicious and « number of two-year-olda, wV>o are not lieing hurried. Precious took -the fancy of a patron of R. Emerson's stable during raceweek. but no deal ; resulted.

Ayrburn has joined F. Christmas team, looking in the best of health. after a . few months' spell. 1 1 The two Southland-owned Imported 'mores, Glentruin and Celerity It., are back at Kicciirton in T. H. Gillett's stable. They look in pood healthy condition, Glentrum being much more forward than was the case at this period last year. _ G. Murray-Aynsley ha 3 Footfall and Starmist going along smoothly inj their wortc.Goldstep has had minor troubles. i but she is doing well now and if she continues in this way should be useful later*. on.-as her trainer is hopeful she" will stay.: The three-year-old fillies, Paperchase and <sansee are both going on nicely, while the two-year-olds .look a useful lot. though they have not been seriously tried yet. • G. J. Pine is resting Paper Boy and Paper Rose for a few days. They can both gallop and they should win of races. Cvrene is backward, but there are hopes of his coming back to his best. Crossbow may Day his way as a sprinter, but I doubt if he will stay. Pine also has three highly promising Paper Money two-year-olds in work. ~, _ ' , ' R. Emerson is snelling Winkle's Best and Mis sMinerva. He ha? started to wort Goldtnwn. along a bit. also the three-year-old Clarenceux fill? Queen's Bounty, who is a useful galloper, though inclined to show temper. * ' The Thurnhnni yearlings from Heath Lasa and Trebelli 11.. respectively, nurcbnsed at the Loncbeuch sale by Mr. Ebb Hay, of Pigeon Biy. have been plnced under the care of T. H. Gillett to break in. after which thev will be spoiled for a f«w months. The Absurd-Week End geldint/. Economist, has been purchased bv F. P. Claridi?e, «nd he is now a regular visitor t6 the Tracks. He may be tried over hurdlf. but whether as a jumper or on the flat he .will pay- his way. if only he remains sound.

NOTES FROM TRENTHAM. LOCAL HORSES' PROSPECTS. [BY TELEGRAPH. —OWN CORRESPONDENT.] WELLINGTON, Saturday. The Trentham-trained brigade ' are going on very well and signs a;re not wanting that the local horses will -do well this season. New Zealand Cup entrants from Trentham are Indian Sage: Degage, Gauntlet, Tanadees and Waetea. The last-named is decidedly backward but there is little amiss with any one of the remaining four. The Paper Money—Peronella filly' Frenzied 1 Finance, has. been doing well for H. Telford. If .the tracks' remain good at Trentham the fLly will not go particularly early to Wanganui, but if the weather breaks down the journey will be undertaken in order to ! get the benefit Of the tracks.: Tanadees is galloping very well again and this morning was much too good for- Star Ranger in a gallop ' over seven. furlongs. Tanadees has been something of a disappointment recently, but by the way he. is going at present Quite soon ho may mako amends. . ■ . J. McLaughlin's two-year-olds Laughing Prince (Quantock—Martian Princess), and Exhibition (Kilbroney—Nada) are showing promise, -especially the former, who galioped particularly attractively over half a mile with Tarinadice this morning. . J. Lowe still has Jubilance pottering about and he has changed his mind about retiring her to the stud. , Star Ranger is coming on nicely and will probably be raced at Wanganui and Avon-' dale. . . ' ' Timi Inihi, who has had a bad cold, Probably will' be sent back to his owner, Mr. A. J. Toxward. '.:.r

Bourse, the two'-year-old filly trained .by J. Lowe, for Mr. 0. S. "Wa'tkins, is a commanding daughter of Lemcnd and Commerce. She liiav be too big-to come early, but gallops with a fair amount of dash. Jemidar and Black Cat. are doing good work at Trentham. and both are to race at the early spring meetings. Jemidar is lightening up a little with, his fast work and possibly not a great deal will be seen of him in his early three-year-old career. Black Cat is ..not- far. short of being at her best. Fool's Paradise looks big and burly and his . .time will not be until- later on. The English filly All Bright has been doing fair work on the track but is a little unreliable. Buoyant has Tejoined Gage Williams' active brigade. Degage looks to b© carrying plenty of condition these days, and it is evident that the let up she"had after winning the Cornwall Handicap was not a veTy lonj; one. It. will not be for lack of-racing condition, if she does not, prove a worthy Cup candidate. Grand Knight these days looks-a picture. He has rounded arid" furnished into a' magnificent horße. and should hold his own in the very highest class this yeaY. and condition reflects great credit on S. J. Reid, who-has more, than made good ,as a trainer. Few give so much thought to their work as Beid does and» even .' though " liick plays an all-important part in Tacing, skill, care and attention on the part of the trainer can reduce its effect to the minimum. . Indian Sage is still doing his usual quiet work. ,nnd this mornine was not ,out of a trot. Nndarino is coming on nicely, and Note looks healthy and has rounded up into a very nice filly.- ■ . V D. McCanlev has worked a great improvement in Hokioi. and the northernrbred jumper no w looks an infinitely-improv.ed welding. Hokioi and H. Lougan's charge Gauntlet schicled over three hurdles this morning, giving a first-class displav of jump; ing. Gauntlet is, well. Orchid still requites a little vet to come to his best; but "-very little. Inn? , and Sale Mio. are doing fair work. Sole Mio has been*-schooled and jumped- f, airly well for a novice. ; . , ~j> MARTON REHANDICAP. [BY TELEGRAPH.—PRESS ASSOCIATION.] ( MARTON. Saturday..
