MANAWATU RACING CLUB. SECOND DAY. (By "Advance.”) The autumn meeting of the Manawatu Racing Club was brought to a conclusion yesterday in splendid weather. There was again a largo attendance. His Excellency the Governor, Hon. J. D. Or--mond, Mr G. P. Donnelly, and Messrs John Marshall, and E. W. Alison, of Auckland, were among the visitors. Tho sum of £IO,SCO was passed through fiio totalisator, making a total of £20,517 for tiio meeting. This amount is £1230 behind last year. Mauiupoto frightened Auratus out of tho Borough Handicap. Tho champion hack was put to tho test in the last furlong when Jones rode Regulation out with tho whip. The latter put up a really- good performance, but could not extend Maniapoto. This was the Souit horse's first appearance in open company. Tiio Feilding-owncd Repulse held a good position, throughout the Hurdle Race, Wind was beaten at a mile and a half, and Haorere was unable to make any impression on Repulse. Kaharoa’s connections were very confident about winning tho Autumn 'Handicap. The horso was under punishment before iio had gone half-way to keep pace with tho light-weights. The Wairarapaowned Spoil ran well, and was only settled by Submarine inside tho distance. Tile Torpedo colt beat Kaharoa in tho Dannovirko Cup. He has turned out a lucky purchase for Mr ON’eill, a Napier' hotel-keeper. Boseal came fast in tiio last furlong when Kaharoa appeared beaten. Roseal looked the least_ distressed at tho finish, and should win a decent handicap before tho end of tho season. The Porirua-trained Aotea. who showed some form at tho Hutt,. won the Scurry without being extended. Ho is by tiio Hotchkiss horso Linstock (halfbrother to-St. Paul). Five of the ton runners for the Flying Hack Handicap were solidly supported. Pardon was smartest to move, bht dropped right back at half-way. He came again in the straight, but just failed to reach Royal Blue. Oliver got Tonderghie through on the ■ inside at the turn, and scored the second victory for the Hon. J. D. Ormond at the meeting. Tonderghie was forrnely raced by the late Mr G. B. G. Richardson. The Greytown-owned Prelude, a three to one on favourite, scored very easily in tho Juvenile Handicap. After her form at Dannevirke, Napier Park, and Wellington, the Merrie England filly must bo considered decidedly useful. Noneen made her fourth appearance at the meeting; in the Farewell Handicap. She had again to put up with second place. Tho Taranaki-owned Crimson Lake ran a good race in Jenkins’s hands, and won nicely. Ngatarna finished close up after losing about a dozen lengths through getting hung upon the tapes. Details of the racing are appended:— Borough Handicap, of 130 sots. Seven furlongs. 624 Mr H. E.
