ELLERSLIE RACES

SEVERAL PAST TIMES five furlongs record // dead-heaters IN STAKES defeat of pillow figiit CHROMADYNE'S SURPRISE The opening of the Auckland Raring Club's Spring Meeting at Ellerslie on Saturday was notable "for fast times and close and exciting finishes. The track was in excellent, order. A course record of 68 4-5s for five furlongs was established l,y Princess Doreen and Diatomous, who dead-heated for first in tho Welcome Stakes, while Royal Artist narrowly won the Mitchelson Cup, U miles, in 2.33 3-5, a record for the race, and Gold Trail's time, 1.37 4-5, in winning ihe Great Northern Guineas, one mile, was only onefifth of a second outside the race record made by Golden Wings last year. Golden Wings won the Shorts Handicap, six furlongs, in 1.12 2-5, which lias only once been beaten at Ellerslie, namely, by Arisus, when he won the Electric Handicap List summer. First favourites, with two wins and a dead-heat, two seconds and two thirds, performed very creditably, the only one that' did not gain a place being Trouble, who broke down in the Hunters' Steeplechase and had to be pulled up. Second favourites were fairly prominent with a dead-heat for first, three seconds and one third. The largest dividend of the day was returned by Chrornadyne, who won the last race, the Flying Handicap, in which he was tenth favourite in a field cf 15. Gold Trail also paid double-figures when she triumphed over the hot favourite Pillow Fight in tho Guineas. Gold Trail, Prince of Orange and Absent were pR successful sixth favourites, and Royal Artist was fifth favourite. Horses owned by Mr. R. T. Reid, of Hamilton, raced very prominently, gainiig two-firsts and two thirds. The leading jockey, K. Voitre, rode in each of the .six fiat races and was in a place every time, 'scoring two wins and a dead-heat for first and three thirds. 'J he attendance was 9500, compared with 10,500 on the corresponding day last year, and totalisator investments showed a corresponding drop. The machine handled £25.909 10s, against £28.815, a decrease of £5905 10s, or 10 per cent. Results : TRIAL HURDLES, Of £'2oo; 1} miles -rRINCE OF ORANGE, R. T.
