After a good start Himi-t.-.iv-i, Maku, and Erl King were prominent for a mile. The favourite then went to the front and won very easily by about three lengths, a length between. •wonil and third. Feu de Joie will have to move on to open company, having won the allotted money in-hack events. A field of nine faced the starter in the Grandstand Hack Handicap. After some delay at the post, caused through the fractiousness of Sublime, the field got away in line with the exception of Marathon, who lost several lengths. No 'Trumps carried on the running, with the placed horses handy, and when a few yards from the post Te Puia camo with a rattle and won by a neck, with No Trumps a similar distance away.

Waipunui ran a gcneioiiß race, and should ktoii bo getting on the winning list. The start for tho Welter He.-Jrr,-was siyjiit by the barrier getting earriid away.
