WELLINGTON RACING CLUB. SECOND DAY. (Fxb Unwed Press Association.) WELLINGTON, January 22. Showery weather prevailed for the second day of the Wellington Raoing Club’s summer carnival. The attendance waa largo and the course was heavy. The racing waa of an interesting nature. The Racing Club Handicap pxovidfed keen speculation, with Merry Day favourite. ' Silver Peak, Paoanui, and Koseday made the most pace in the early stages, but at the business end Merry Day, who was always well placed, took charge. £>he had to suffer a hot challenge from Silver Peak, but won well by half a length, with Scrimmage fairly close up, then came Kick Off and Sunart. In the Metropolitan Handicap the field was fairly well bunched coming into the straight. At the distance Songbird forged ahead, but Kerb came with a late run and won by two lengths, with Astinome and Kinsem next. The Douro Cup was won very decisively by Diamond Ring, from Glencairn. Pilliewinkie was next. The totalisator takings amounted to £63,693 10a, compared with £76,698 last Anniversary Day. Results: MUNGAROA HIGH-WEIGHT HANDICAP, Of 350sovs. One mile and a-quarter.
