FEILDING RACES.

By Telegraph.—Special Reporter. Feilding, November 29. The weather was dull and threatening for tho above fixtures yesterday, and before the St. Andrews Handicap was started a misty sort of rain came oh. For a non-holiday the. attendance was very fair, and numbered about 600 people. The course is in splendid order, i The totalisator investments totalled £3147 for seven races as against £2689 for eight races for the corresponding day last year, being an increase of £458. The Club offered a reward of £5 to anyone giving information about any persons laying o it tailing totalisator odds. The racing during tile day was interesting, and in the First Hack Flying Race 19 horses went to the post, and the starter had to range them in three divisions, consequently the rear crowd had little chance of getting through. Although Gunboat had none the best of the start he managed to win. Homes’ and Cameron’s stable at Bulls appropriated four events, two with Gunboat, and one each with King Harry and Kalmea, Jenkins having the mount in each case. * The following are results :—■ Flying Handicap, 50 sovs; second horse 6 sovs from stakes. Six furlongs. 38 Mr L. Home’s br h King Harry, syrs, by King Cole—Spring Creek, 7st 21b .. . ... ... (Jenkins) 1 23 Mr W. Fergus’ b g Cheque, aged, 6st 71b ... - ... ... (Tamplin) 2 37 Mr W.

From a good start Prestige and Kent cut out the running until entering the straight, where the field closed up, and a splendid finish resulted in King' Harry winning all out by a neck, a length separating second and third, Stranger just beaten for third place. Dividend, £7 16s. Time, lmin 20 3-ssec. Spring Hurdle Handicap, 50 sovs; second 5 sovs from stakes. One mile and threequarters. 101 Mr Freeth’s ch h Revolt, syrs, by Treason —Mischief, 9st 71b (Arnott) 1 102 Mr Watts’ ch g Oaklands, aged, lOst 121 b ... (R. Kingan) 2 163 Mr D. Knight’s ch g Bonovoree, syrs, 9st 121 b ... (Anderson) 3 Revolt cut up his usual capers before reaching the post, but the starter taking advantage of the first opportunity, lowered the flag to a very fair start. Bonovoree and Oaklands were together for about a mile when Revolt assumed command, and jumping in rare style, held his own to the finish, winning by a length, Oaklands just beating Bonovoree. Dividend £3 ss. Time 3min 33 l-ssec. First Handicap, Hack Hurdles, 30 sovs; second 5 sovs from stake.

J From a good start Kaimaka was first away, and with Priscilla and Tenby they showed the way over the stand hurdle. _ Going along the back of the course Tenby was in the lead, Kaimaka and Priscilla next . with Auroa and Rangipai beginning to move up. As they approached i he bottom of the straight, Auroa was on terms with Tenby, and the former’s victory was loudly proclaimed by admirers of the local horse

(Auroa), but McTaggart, who had been riding a nice race, brought Rangipai along after landing over the last hurdle, and rail heme a comfortable winner by a length', the same distance separating second and third, Kaimaka fourth. Dividend, £5 33. Time 2min 57£sec. „ . St. Andrew’s Handicap, of 200 sovs; second horse, 25 sovs; and third, 5 sovs from the stakes. One mile and a half. 136 Mr A.

This race was run in a misty rain, and a good view was not obtainable. From a good start Lebel and Senator were first to move, Planet being last. Passing the stand Lebel and Senator were abreast a length in front of Planet and St. Laura, Monte . Carlo next, and Golden Plover last. Going along the back Senator assumed the lead, a length in front of Lebel and Planet, with Golden Plover and Musket improving their position, and as they turned into the side stretch, they were just behind the leaders. At the gate Monte Carlo dropped back and Golden Plover raced up to Senator and the latter soon after retired, while Musket made his run here, and when fairly in the straight Golden Plover had to be shaken up, but holding his position he won a good race by a length, half a length between second and third, Laura fourth. Pom Pom was never prominent. Dividend,- £4 ss. Time, 2min 42 2-ssec. First Hack Flat, of 30' sovs. On© mile and a quarter. ; 87 Mr A.

This big field were drawn up in three lines, and the start under the circumstances was a very fair one, but owing to the drizzling rain it was very difficult to see the colours. When the horses came into view Snapcap, Tonganui and Curio were just clear of Gunboat, but the latter coming on the outside took the lead round the turn. Besant and Bloomsbury challenged him, but the winner was not troubled, and he won a good race by a length, half a length between second and third, Snapcap fourth; Bloomsbury next, with Princess Cole and Voltaire same distance away. Time, lmin 9 l-ssec. Dividend £5 19s. Palmerston North, November 30. For the Feilding races to.-day the weather was fine, with a stiff breeze. The attendance was not so good as on the first day, only about 500 people being pre sent. . The stewards considered Johnny Faa’s running in the Railway Handicap so inconsistent with his form in the Kiwitea, Stakes on the first day that they held an. enquiry. They decided to pay out the dividend, but deferred further consideration of the case until Monday next. The totalisator total to-day was £3015, as against £2555 for the second day of lash year. The total for the meeting was £6162, as against £5244 last year, being an. increase of £9lB.
