WINTER RACES

GOOD SPORT AT TRENTHAM TILE EdVER WIN'S THE YvTNTEU HURDLES. ' ELECTRAKOET THE PARLLU ME NT ARY. (By fff Pho Judge/') After the long spell of wet and geneiv ally unpleasant weather racegoers were fortunate indeed to find a flawless day on Saturday for tho opening of the Wellington Racing Club's winter meeting* With a clear sky and brilliant sunshine the conditions were ideal for an enjoyable afternoon's racing and, as a result. ; the special trains were well filled with sporting folk bent on assisting at the racing carnival. There is somethin? about a steeplechase meeting which is more fascinating than the racing at other times and this tends to make the winter fixture a highly popular one. A noticeable feature on Saturday was the very largo number of visiting sportsmen, who wero present - from all parts of the Dominion. Among others to bo seen were Sir Georgo Clifford, whose colours for once were not unfurled; tho Hon- J. XX Ormond, much interested in the fine running of his two-year-old Ainsdale? Mr E. J. Watt, whoso gelding Wimmera came so near to winning tho Parliamentary Handicap; Mr G. 13.I 3 . Donnelly, not too satisfied with Gold Circle's luck in tho Miramar Handicap; Mr Rowe, a member of the Racing Commission, and many others. There was a strong array of race club secretaries, conspicuous among them being Messrs J. M. Johnston (Manavratu), J. P* Hartland (Auckland), W, J. Stratton (Hawke’s Bay), A* Hathaway (Masterton). A. Way (Marton), J. Glen (Nelson), R. Wynyard (Takapuna), and H. H. Hayr Sir James Carroll represented the Ministry* and several members of Parliament were there enjoying tho outing. President J. B. Harcdurt headed a big’ contingent of local sportsmen, _ very few prominent racing men being missing, and altogether the attendance was a very representative one. . . Taking into consideration the amount, of rain that had fallen, the track was ! in good condition, although tho going wa? of course decidedly holding, and this accounted for the slow times registered. The enclosures looked bright and’green,, but matters were very damp underfootA very liberal supply of straw scattered freely over the lawn helped materially towards the comfort of patrons in this respect. Contrary to the general expectation falls wero infrequent, tho most serious mishap being in tho Hack and Hunters' Steeplechase, where Captain Jingle toppled over, treating J. O'Connell to a very nasty spill. Ho was earned in on a stretcher, but fortunately the accident was not so serious as was at first thought to bo tho case. # ■ . Tho racing was decidedly interesting throughout, .Mr Pollock's handicaps working out very well. The starting by Mr C. O'Connor, ably assisted by Mr A# Vincent, was quite a feature, the dis* patches being uniformly even, whilfi Judge W. H. Hartgill was as prompt and reliable as ever with his decisions. Needless to say Mr A, E. Whyte, the secretary, and his stall, were responsible for careful attention to details, everything running very smoothly. Tho totalisator staff had ploilry of work to do and this may have accounted for an occasional delay in ringing up the numbers on tho horses- During the afternoon the sum of .£16,696 was paid in at tho windows, which represents anincrease of £56-14 on tho corresponding day last year, when, however, a larg« number of bookmakers were operating RESULTS OF THE RACING STEWARDS' HANDICAP, 1 Of HO sots; seven furlongs. 4 W.

AN EXCITING FINISH. Next caino tho Miramar - Handicap, seven furlongs, anti with a lietil ot thirteen runners, backers showed remarkably good judgment in making Epsom bass, udcculcti and Gold Circle tliu lavourircs, lor they finished in tho order iu wivich tkoy were backed. Air O Connor sent tliem oil' in uu exact lino, Gold Circle Bhowin# in trout, but a little later Sandy Paul supplanted iiiin, "W'itli Undecided, next. Beiure tho* reached the straight Gold Circlo had liis neck in front, 'with. Epsom Lavs and Morocumbo closing up, Tiioro was a line race to tho judges box, Epsom Lass winning by hall a length from Undecided, who beat Cold Circlo by u head. Alorocambo was only a head further back, and lie finished so fast tnat had tho race been a iitllo longer ho would probably have won. Vito was 1 fifth. Golden Ago sixth, and Sandy Paul next. Gold Circlo ax>peared to have been slightly interfered with at the bend, or he might have been closer. A COUPLE OF SPILLS. Thirteen faced the starter in the Hack and Hunters' Steeplechase, two miies and a half, punters again showing good judgment by going soiidiy for Hanaga, while there was plenty of money lor D'Nii and Sunray. From a good start Hoanga immediately set out to make tho pace, and ho was never once headed. After going half a mile Hydrant ran oil, (and at the back tho order was Hoanga, Levont, Captain J ingle and Defeat. At tho jump near the cntLiuco to thestraight Captain dingio crashed into the battens and toppled over, giving O’Connell a bad fall. Kunning round tho top turn D Nil •went ux> into second place, but, pecking at tho jump at tho back, shot Mr Gordon out of tho saddle. In the meantime Honaga was sailing away in front, and a long way from homo it was evident the race was all over. Leveut kept up the hoiieless pursuit, the riderless D Nil and Captain Jingle running with them all tho way. Coming on at his caso Hoanga won by a dozen lengths from Levent, who was a similar distance in front of St. Albert. After these at*long intervals came liibstono Pippin, Wirihana, buncay and Sylvia Maid. Tho winner, who was turned out in hrst-ciass condition by / C. Coleman, is a five-year-old chestnut gelding by Kegel from Onga. Kangi Thompson forced tho pace on him throughout with the object of breaking up the field, and the chestnut never made the semblao.ee of a mistake. Ho is without doubt a very useful stamp of hurdler, for he combined pace and good jumping ability, D’Nil, who actually passed the post first, might have troubled the winiier but for spilling-Mr Gordon out of tho saddle. Lovcut also made a creditable showing, but nothing else eever gob ibio showing, but nothing else ever got A CLOSE THING FOR THE FAVUUKiTE. There were five withdrawals from the Parliamentary Handicap, one mile, this leaving fourteen to do battle for tho stake. Electrukoff looked really well, and, ns Gray was in tho saddle, backers came hot and strong lor Price's gelding, it was a very pretty race throughout. Tho ■start was again beautifully even. Provocation, who had an outside berth, immediately dashing to tho front, and at a furlong ho was leading by over a length from Wimincra and Dr endless. Provocation was still in front at tho five furlongs post, where Bracken moved up. When the bend was reached Mr Bidwills colt had shot hia bolt, AYimmera* just showing from a close-bunched field. Sticking ciooe to tho rails ilr Watt's gelding was well clear at tlxo distance, but neie ’Electrakoll forged kis way through, and, wearing down, tho leader in the last low strides, won by a long head. Merri© Zealand was three lengths further back, followed by Bracken and Iney. The winner was bred in'l9o6 by tho late ilr W. Percival, for many years secretary of the Auckland Racing Club. Ho was got by ■that fin© hors© ilenschikoff, known in his day as “the galloping machine," j from Eleotra, by Castor —Welcome Katie, by Musket, so ho has plenty of stout running blood in his veins. With good form at Avondale and ELlersUo to recommend him tho gelding’s victory was fully anticipated, but it was only by really good horsemanship that Gray squeezed him homo in front of Wimmera. and the latter was perhaps a trifle unlucky to lose. THE WINTER HURDLES.

The Winter Hurdles, two miles, proved ti very interesting race throughout. The Native, Waiputere, Golden Water and Aberration were withdrawn, this leaving n. nice held of a dozen, and of these North

■East, (Compass and Join were nil well backed. At the start Bolliu and John shot to the front, but they soon fell back into the ruck. North East then rushed away, putting several lengths between himself and Windage. At tho stand these , two were well in front of The Hover and To flu, with tho rest strung out. Down the back Windage went up to tho leader, •and a little later Tho Hover sailed past. At the homo bend tho Advance gelding was two lengths clear of To Hu, with Compass coming fast. Tho Hover was pot to bo caught, and ho won very comfortably by two lengths from Compass. Te Hu, wlio tired to nothing at the end, ■was live lengths back, just boating Paritutu by a length. Longuer was fifth, while tno last to finish were John. Xavier and Centaur. Tho Hover has paid his •way well this season on the flat, and, as ho is a clover jumper, looks like adding to his reputation as an expert over the battens. Ho comes of good stock, being by Advance from Ngahapa's sister, Polly Perkins (freedom— Modesty). Compass finished gamely enough under the whip, and should bo in his best form, again by National time. To Hu found tho distance a trifle too far, but run well. The disappointment of tho race was John, who never once flattered tho hopes of his many admirers. A SMAKT TTVO-YEAH-OLD. The Trial Plate, six furlongs, proved Iho best of good things for the Ktraiuu representative, Ainsdalo. Mo hail been doing some good track work, and was backed as though tho race was all over. J limping off in front the son of Birkenhead never gave anything else tho least ' chance, and ho romped homo, hard held, by over two lengths from S. r Isno.v The latter finished well, beating St. Petersburg by three lengths, niter whom came Eambtou, Kiugswell and field Fare. Judging from tho maimer in which he played with tho field it would seem that Ainsdalo should win later on in better company. Ho is a nice stamp of a two-year-old gelding, having been got by Birkenhead from Enna, by Tho Officer — Enid, by Apremont, and is possessed of ■undeniable pace. Sir Knox’s forward position was a big surprise to all but his immediate connections, and, as a result, he paid tho biggest dividend of tho day. St. Gate, who was a "good deal

fancied, ran very moderately, as did Ovation. GRAY EQUALS WHITTAKER. A very enjoyable day’s sport was brought t<> a close with tho decision of the Te Aro Handicap, five funongs, for which Air Forbes’ mare. Lady Fran, who had been doing some rather smart track work, v.ils made favourite. Mr O’Connor was again successful in getting them ai.aj, being immediately prominent, the Renown filly leading round tho bend from Memo Time. Here J/ongstexb who had a bad position on the outside, siiot across in front, and at the distance was going so well that she looked all over av. inner. Gray, however, then, brought Vania with a good run, and, tho vSlepn.ak gelding steadily closing on tho leaner, got to the front thirty yards from home and won by half a length. Taft finished two lengths farther back, and then came Lady Fran. Amaru and Te Waharoa. Air Whitney also started Ahuapai in addition to the winner, and .in* ii.ur were, of course, bracketed on the machine. Good riding by Gray had not a little to. do with Varna’s success. With a little more luck in the draw lor positions it is probable that Longstcp might have been even closer, for an outside berth at tho live furlongs post is a tremendous handicap. Taft finished rather better than usual, but had uo chunco witii«tho leaders. Grays success brought his total of wins up to AVluttaker’s, and these two crack horsemen aro now level in tho battle for supremacy us the most successful jockey of the season. With but two more days' racing still to go the riding by the rivals wUI be watched with keen interest.

RACING IN ENGLAND ECLIPSE STAKES WON BY SWYNFOKD. By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright LONDON, July 14. At the Sand own Park Eclipse Meeting to-day, the following was the result of THE ECLIPSE STAKES, Of 10,000 so vis; second hor.se 000 sovs and third 150 sovs. For three and four-year-olds; threo-year-olds S.ti, four-ycur-oids 9.4; with poualtios and allowances; about one milo and a quarter. Lord Derby's br c Swynford, by John o' Groat —Canterbury Filgrim, Air Fairie's b c Lemberg, by Cyllenc —Galicia, 4yrs 2 Air L. de Rothschild's b c Fietri, by St. Frusquin—Fie Powder, ‘Jyn> 3 Swynford and Lemberg are tho great rivals in England this year. In the Derby last season Lemberg won from Greenback and Charles O’ALalley, Swynford, who started at forlorn odds, being unplaced. Lord Derby’s colt retaliated by defeating Lemberg in the St. Legcr. It was said that tins was a llukc and to prove it Lemberg led oft this season by beating tho St. Lager winner. Swynford, however, has now recovered his prestige by twice defeating Mr Fairio’s colt, to that it is evident there is very little to choose between them. F- Wuottou, no doubt, rode Swynford, while Dillon probably had the mount on Lemberg. Fiotri was a good deal fancied for this year's Derby, but ran very badly.
