MISS PANGO SCORES HIGH TEST OUTSTANDING SURPRISE BY ADVANCE PLANE [by telegraph OWN correspondent] new PLYMOUTH, Saturday Patiently handled by Mr. K. Duncan, Miss Pango scored narrowly in the Ladies' Necklace. Oriel and Bimbo were the early leaders and Oriel took charge on entering the back, but he was soon joined by Miss Pango. En Yidette ran up to the pair at the far turn and the threo turned for home in line. Miss Pango was challenged by En \ idette, but she held him off to win by a head. Oriel was a moderate third and White Heron fourth. Miss Pango's superior racing condition gave her the victory. War Ace fairly ran away with the Hack and Hunters' Hurdles, over the . last three furlongs. Beau Star and Court Arma led Tuaheahe and Sceptic past the stands. Tuaheahe ran to the front entering the back stretch from Beau Star, War Ace and Court Arma. The leader fell at the hurdle by the five furlongs, leaving Beau Star in front, but War Aco ran past him at the three furlongs to win by six ■•lengths. Court Arma narrowly beat Beau Star for second. Panloff was fourth, with Sceptic and Prince Beno next. War Ace fenced splendidly and Court Anna shaped well for a novice. Tuaheahe was going well when he fell. Field Outclassed High Test outclassed his opponents in the Opunake Scurry.''He was last after going a furlong and a-half, with Airing and Gay Flier making the pace. High Test raced round the field at the turn, to win with plenty in hand by two lengths from Gay Flier,- who ran on fairly well. Kia Ora, who., was a shade unlucky, was a good third, but Airing {ind Glenation were disappointing.

Lady Voyonne won the Waihi Handicap, outstaying her opponents over the final stages. Wahine Nui led by two lengths down the back from La Feinmo Noire and Red Sand. Lady Voyonne moved up at the far turn to follow Wahine Nui into the straight, with Red Sand, La Femme Noire and Glenthaivn handy. Lady Voyonne ran past Wahine Nui to win easily, with Red Sand a fair third, a head in front of La Femme Noire. Glenthawn was next.

The Hunt Cup provided a thrilling finish, with Stroller just beating Don Erma in the last few strides. Beginning the final circuit, Hymgreat and Panloff had charge and they led into the back eight to ten lengths clear of Stroller, Don Erma and Taura Lad. Stroller and Don Erma reduced the gap and were almost on terms with Hymgreat and Panloff at the last fence. Once over, Don Erma took charge, only to be challenged by Stroller. Two tired horses fought out the issue, with Stroller just prevailing. Hymgreat was a "good third and Panloff was fourth.- Stroller hit several fences rather hard, but proved himself a game horse. Don Erma ran a fine race. Callamost and Prairie Boy fell at the second fence. • Hi Gray's First Winner

H. Gray led in his first winner since regaining a licence when Fersen scored stylishly in the Stratford Handicap. Prince Acre had charge early, but Roval Secret and Gold Mission ran up to him and the trio led down the back from Fersen and Musquil. Gold Mission began to drop out after the halfmile and then Fersen ran past the leaders on theturn and scored decisively from Royal Secret, who stayed on too solidly for Prince Acre. Musquil, runnine on, was fifth. Fersen's win was impressive and he is evidently an improved horse. Royal Secret did better than on the first day, but Prince Acre was well beaten. There was a good double-figure dividend when Advance Plane scored in the last race, the Urenui Haudicap. Fast Acre made tho early pace from De Trop, but at the far turn Susan and Advance Plane moved up. Fast Acre and Susan led Advance Plane, De Trop and Ngatirahiri into the straight, where Advance Plane took charge and lasted long enough to beat Ngatirahiri, who came fast in the straight. Susan was right up third, and Do Trop finished a good fourth. Ngatirahiri looked to be unlucky.
