A feature of the conclusion of the WaiJ<ato Racing Club's Spring Meeting at To luipa yesterday was the success of horses trained by R. S. Bagby, who had three •winners, namely, Prolyxo, Gay Marigold and Chief Joy. Bagby also rode Chief .Joy himself, and, as he also won with Gay Marigold, he. had a very successful incet)i]£. Tho course was again fast, and the i-acing proved highly interesting, several of the finishes being very close.

The chief event, the Hamilton Handicap, was won by the consistent L'Allegro, who led all the way to score narrowly from the favourite, Speedniinfc. L'Allegro thus completed a winning double at tho meeting, as he also won t.lio High-weight Handicap on the first day. Tho odds-on favourite, Tea Trader, scored a very decisive victory in the Cambridge Handicap. Tea Trader outpaced Iho opposition early, and was always well clear in the last three furlongs, making an exhibition of the field. The attendance was again good, and tho totalisator handled £13,027 10s, compared with £12,516 on the corresponding day last year. The total investments for tho meeting amounted to £28,875, as against £'26,136 10s for last year, an increase of £2738 10s. Results:—
