MASTER-TON RACING CLUB. SPRING MEETING. (By Advance/’) MASTERTON, October 27. The Masterton Racing Club’s spring meeting, postponed from the previous day, opened in fine weather. There was a good attendance. The going was very heavy. The cun was won by the Poriruatrained Flamen, who ran more generous in C. Jenkins’s hands than when ridden by A. Oliver at • the Hutt. Flamen was bred by his owner, the Hon Mr J. Johnston, of Aorangi, Feilding, who was present to see his colours score. The Hawke’s Bay gelding Needlework was favourite for the hurdles, but could only manage to get fourth to the Martinbor-ough-owned Grand Jury. Aberration, who ran a good race on the first day of the Wellington _ meeting, scored easily at the end of the Flying Hack Handicap. Grand Circle and Alexieff, in W. Davis’s stable, at the Hntt, carried most money in the Maiden Hack Race. Roth failed badly, Grand Circle finishing -absolutely last. Duleinea, bred by J. Macara, of Opaki, scored with something in hand. Reid, the Carterton light-weight, rode Aberration, Silverlene and Capulet. The club worked its owp. totalisator, made by Turnbull and Jones, of Christchurch, for the first time.

The attendance was satisfactory, though not so large as on the previous day. The course was heavy, as indicated oy the times registered for the different events. The fields were generally smaller than on the opening day. In the Hack Hurdles, Bounce, who finished fifth on the first day, was better backed than any of the other runners. He met Grand Jury, on a stone better terms, but appeared to win with a lot in hand. Aberration scored his second win at the meeting in the Tradesmen’s Hack Handicap, in which Duleinea, winner of the Maiden Hack Race, on the first day, got a decided advantage in the first furlong, and looked like winning from end to end.

The only other double at the meeting was the Carterton-owned who put down a good favourite in Flamen in the. President’s Handicap, and paid AS Is in a field, of three. Flamen came into the straight full of running, but when Jenkins got the whip out at the distance, the horse appeared to “turn it up.” In the High-weight Hack Handicap, for gentlemen riders, the president of the club, Mr C. F. Vallance, had a comfortable win on Huremoana, a full brother to Oingo, who should be heard of in better company. During the afternoon, the Masterton string band played selections on the lawn.
