H'HE TAKAPUNA meeting. VICTORY FOR DESERT GLOW. AURUMAVIS EFFECTS SURPRISE. The Takapuna Jockey Club's Summer fleeting was concluded yesterday. In the early part of the morning matters looked the feverae of promising for fine ■weather and, with rain falling shortly before 11 o'clock, it seemed as though racegoers to the North Shore would once B gain have to take their outing under unseasonable conditions. However, the sun came out and the gathering passed off most pleasantly.. Good fields were seen out in ths various events and, with quite ■a, number of close finishes, the racing yas invested with keen interest. The only matter to engage the attention of the judicial committee was in consection with the Moana Handicap, during the contest for which the favourite, King Ilmerald, suffered interference. C. Da,vies, the rider of King Arch, was suspended ■for a month.. The rider in question subsequently lodged notice of appeal against liis suspension. Mr. A. W. Gordon was the stipendiary steward present. The totalizator investments during the «lay amounted to £39,100, compared with £53,962 10s on the corresponding day last j-ear. The grand total for the meeting >was £97,313, against £116,689 10s last Jrear —a decrease of £19,376 10s. Second ,Favourite Wins. 'The Moana Haudicap was the opening ♦Sivent and in n field of 13 King Emerald made favourite, with Cantab and jDaytaro most fancied of the others. King Emerald was trying hard to take command at the back stretch and about the iive furlongs post he appeared to suffer interference. Cantab, who quickly found liis feet, carried the field along at a good pace and, combating all challengers, ho i-an home a winner three-quarters of n length in ffont of Alonsoa, . • - The nine coloured on the card for the "Waiwera High-weight Handicap went to the post, Rangatahi- was, the one singled ( >ut for most attention, the - bracketed pair Royal Form and Uralla being most fancied of the others. Uralla secured the lead three furlongs from home and, though she led into the straight,, at which point iihe looked like scoring a win, an exciting ■finish saw Kamohameha dash up with a etrong challenge, and tha son of Demosthenes, rolling into his task in vigorous style, scored a neck victory from Ngarara, with Uralla separated by a narrow margin. Win fo!r Bright; Dawn. 'A field of eight was produced to congest the Devonport Handicap, for which \Wa.v Officer and Macroom were almost ■equal favourites. Macroom endeavoured to win ■ her face from end to end, and she 7Pery nearly, succeeded in effecting the exploit. Tha Archiestown filly was responsible for a solid pace, but though ishe stayed it out nicely? Bright Dawn 'wore her down in the last couple of strides, and a neck; victory went down to the son of Day, Comet. The Suburban Handicap attracted a field of fifteen. Tea Bell counted sufficient admirers to send him out favourite, but there was not a great deal between him and Plying Juliet for the post of' honour: A surprise proved to be in mtore. York Abbey was most prominent tip to the home turn, but he was right at liia top. The half-distance saw Aussie, Tea Bell and Aurumaviii engaged in a hot struggle, and 'the upshot of the contest was a neck victory for Aurumavis. The {Australian-bred mare was eleventh in order of favouritism, and her admirers ■were cast in the happy position of handSing a solid dividend. Desert Glow's Victory. The Takapuna Jockey Club "Handicap svas the succeeding event, for which a Si eld of nine went to the post. The top " "weight, Eden Hall, was made favourite, iTown Bank, Transformer and Desert Glow being backed in that order. The pace was quickly clapped on, and when ■ three furlongs had been compassed Papatu ; 3ield a command of a well-bunched field. Transformer worked his way into the lead four furlongs from home, and when he showed the way into the straight he looked like taking rank as a dual winr.oi- at the gathering. Desert Glow, lioyrevttr, answered! the final demand with such vim that he got to his rival a few strides, from the post, and, wearing him ' down, scored by a neck. Spoony, wljo also finished well, was only a neck away in third place. The Hobson Handicap, which was con- ■ fined to the two-year-old division, brought out a field of half a dozen, and ion the strength of fcii success on . the opening day In the Shade was made a "warm favourite, Paganelli being the one most fancied >of the others. Paganelli Sound his stride very quickly and the son of Lord Quex, withstanding a vigorcms challenge on the part of In the Shade, won by a long head. Dead-heat Bscorded. * The Bangitolto Hack Handicap brought cut a field of nine. Te Koroke was made favourite with Golden Krist, Wenday and Kamehameha most fancied of the others. Te Koroke never succeeded in getting into the lead, and the upshot of an exciting finish between Golden Krist and Kamefliameha was a; dead-heat. The Anniversary Handicap, which was fthe closing event, brought out a field of fourteen. Ring the Bell was installed favourite, and though Aurumavis was penalised 31b. (which raised her impost to 8.10). she was a good second favourite. The winner, however, turned up in Scat, who won his raco in good style by j half a length from Pelhim. Scat twisted a plate in performing his preliminary and i "he had to be brought back to the onclosure to have the samo remedied by the farrier, with the happy result recorded.
