[BY TELEGRATH. —OWN CORRESPONDENT.] CHRISTCHURCH, Tuesday. The weather showed great improvement for the second day of the Canterbury Jockey Club's autumn meeting to-day. The anorning broke fine and the conditions were pleasant most of the day. The course was a trifle slow, but otherwise in good order. Hynanna registered a brilliant performance to win the Great Autumn Handicap. Rereteoana got home in the Challenge Stakes, but he had to be ridden out to beat Cimabue by a neck. In the Peerswick Handicap, the opening «vent of the day. Moratorium was* backed to a -snort price and his backers were never uneasy. He ran with Tarleton two lengths behind the other pair until the straight Vras reached, getting through at the false Jail to win very easily by a length from Crossbow, who was nearly as far in front cf Ka.ritane, with Tarleton a head away, tthis was Moratorium's third win on end ®rd be will get some more money. A dozen two-year-olds lined up for the Autumn Nursery Handicap. Concentrate was r good favourite, with Childe and Rin Tin !Tm disputing second position. Rin Tin Tin Has smartest out, but was steadied after going a furlong. Great Star drawing clear, Vhile Childe. Merivale and Viscount were prominent. Great Star led to the distance, v.here Kin Tin Tin and Concentrate were at the head of the others. Rin Tin Tin ♦ten took charge and stalled off Concentrate, whom he beat by a length. Groat Star was a length away, with Night March fourth. Then carne Childe, Impertinence and Bigmarole. Thorndale. Doq .lose and Barryanda, all trith later engagements, were withdrawn from the Yaldhurst Handicap. First Sight V'as somewhat better backed than Battle Colours, but the others were all well supported. Nincompoop was soon out clear of Battle Colours and Stormy. They ran like this to the straight, where tho field closed Up. Nincompoop collapsed without a struggle and at the distance Sir Roy and First Sight drew out from Battle Colours and Lucy Locket. A desperate struggle ended in Sir Roy beating First Sight by a head. Lucy Locket was two lengths away and a length in front of Battlo Colours, who fonud the big rise in weight a little too much for him. Sir Roy had been causing his owner trouble for some time, owing to unsoundness, but the rain of the previous day left the track to his liking. Ho was unplaced on Monday in the Sockburn Handicap and his form on the two days was the subject of an inquiry. It was decided that the difference in the weights was so great that the stewards would not be justified in upholding a charge of inconsistent tracing. The scratching of Rotor, with a later 'ftngagement. left seven hacks to contest the Addington Handicap. Starflight headed Barryanda by a few tickets when the betting closed. Amor and Philippic led Starlight and Fair Exchange to the home turn, fc'bere Philippic drew out a length from Amcr, but the four wore in a bunch when the straight was reached. A little further t>a Surflrsht and Amor drew clear and

Stwflight went on to beat Amor by a length. Philippic, Fair Exchange and Barryanda followed at length intervals. Black Mint was the only scratching for the Great Autumn Handicap. In a field of ten Rapier, Hynanna and Lady Desmond had a good battle for favouritism. Thorndalo led out of the straight from Lady Desmond, Tresham and Set Sail, but at the mile post Assurance had joined Thorndalo in the lead, wfth Tresham and Lady Desmond next. There was no change for the next half mile. Rapier and Front. Rank had been in the rear up to this stage, but Front Rank then made a forward move. Thorndale and Tresham wero done with when the straight was reached, while Hynanna and Oratrix moved up. Lady Desmond drew out below tho distance, with Hynanna, Assurance, and Oratrix handy. Hynanna gradually asserted himself and beat. Lady Desmond by over a length. Oratrix was two lengths away, while two lengths further back Set Sail got up to beat Assurance by a neck. Rapier made a move at the entrance to the straight, but it was a short-lived effort, and he soon dropped back again, finishing last. Apparently he was not in a racing mood. Hynanna's performance was impressive. It would have taken a high-class horse to beat him. There were only three starters for the Challenge Stakes. Reremoana was backed to a short price. He ran behind the other pair for two furlongs, when Eulalie dropped back to the favourite, Cinmbuo going on by himself. They raced like this to tho siraight, where Reremoana commenced to move up. He was almost on terms with Cimabue a furlong from the post, but it was only after a desperate struggle that he wore his three-year-old rival down in tho last couple of strides, winning by a neck. Eulalie stopped badly, finishing eight lengths away. Tho winner ran one of his usual good races, but he met unexpected opposition from Cimabue, whose effort was a big improvement, on his form in the. Great Easter the previous day when he faded out a long way from home. Tho Papanui Handicap attracted a field of five hacks, Fair Exchange being scratched. Golden Armour was a warm favourite, and although she won her backers had a great fright. Wild Work and Golden Armour led for a furlong, when the favourite drew away, gradually increasing her advantage until sho was four lengths in front half a mile from home, with Valves and Wild Work next. On reaching the straight Rotor and Wild Work went after Golden Armour who only lasted long enough to beat Rotor by a head. Wild Work was two lengths away, with Valves fourth. Golden Armour showed great speed, but she was stopping at tho end. The Templeton Handicap, which brought tho meeting to a close, attracted seven starters. Set Sail and Nincompoop being scratched. Booster was a pronounced favcurito and Crown Area a little better backed than Solrose. W hen tho field settled down Gold Brick was in charge, with ' Finora and Booster next. Finora dropped out at the homo turn, Booster and Solrose following Gold Brick to the straight. Crown Area had been last up to this stage, but a brilliant 'run landed him in front soon after the straight was reached. The race was then ail over and he beat Booster easily by two lengths. Solrose was three lengths away just in front of Gold Brick. The form of the winner was a vast improvement on his effort in the Great Easter the previous day, when he collapsed on reaching tho straight. Today he was more patiently handled with the result that he made an exhibition of his opponents at the finish.
