D.J.C. AUTUMN MECTING. Second Day: I The Dnncdin Jockey Club held the second j day of its autumn meeting yesterday in weathor which must havo seriously affected the attendance, light ruins in the morning and a threatening sky deferring many from milking I la journey to the course. " The track was rather heavier than on tho previous day. Geld Bird won Iho Ilindon llnnllos at I ho finish, and Muircoek registered a de. cisive win in the Henley Handicap. Effort was th<v only withdrawal from tho Anniversary Handicap, which proved a good betting race. Oratava, for once in a way, began smartly, and made the best of "her lead throughout. The Cornet hung a trifle as the barrier rose. Oratava led, within a few strides of the mist, when Gray, making a well-tin'~! effort on Odes--a, got up and won by n shest nock. Counfennino was never dangerous. Soldiers' Chorus put in a good run wh-Mi in the straight, but ran in towards the rails. Tannhausor revor seemed at home in the going. A good race wns provided by the Railway Plato, and the two-yoarolil Grafton li'lv Loitrdes won after an interesting finish. Buff Gauntlet was made a pronounced favourite in the Oiitram Handicap, ar.d practically won all the way, some of the others making a very poor showing. Thistledown whipped round as the barrier rose in tho Do'niain Handicap, and Gapon won with a liltle in hand. Effort lost ground going up tho hll, but came with a very good run in the straight, but failed to get up in time. Stardancor registered a comfortable win in the Citv Handicap from a fino-lr.oking son of St. Ambrose and -Ambush in Ngatapa. Scoltisli Star, who was made favourite in this event, was never dangerous, A good day's snort concluded with an interosling race'in the Welter, in which the whole field wns together at the Irattom of tho straight. Waiju won nicely at, the finish. Tho cum of £10,219 10s was pit through (lie nnehino, as against £9392 10s for tho corresponding day last year.
