i HAWKE’S BAT RACES. GLOAMING BEATS THE HAWK. WIN BY A NECK. SPECTATOR DROPS DEAD. (Fbom Ottb Special Cohnespond'Ent.l NAPIBB, May ». A few showers fell between the first and second daye of the Hawke’s Bay meeting, and the morning was very threatening, but it all cleared away, not enough moisture having fallen to have done good or harm. The attendance was enormous and the excitement great, so great that the railway people absolutely failed to cope with the demand put on them. The good showing of Mahla and Good Mark on the first day sene them out * well hacked for the Ivaramu Hurdles. The lot got away in a good line, and they went into the first fence very fast. The good jumping of Mahia, Black Art, Many Colours, and Port George took them to the front. Mahia was in front at the end of six furlongs, but Black Art then ontjumped him, and despite a strong challenge from Many Colours he led to the winning post. It was. only Black Art’s class that won fur .him, as he was decidedly short of condition. Both he and Many Colours stopped badly in the last 100yds. Master Peter, who was running on, would certainly have beaten them had he come oh thte outside instead of dead behind the leaders. The placed horses were well clear of - the fourth horse, Many Colours. A winning bracket for Master Peter is just about due, and Mahia is sure to win over country in the hack and hunters class. Newbury King, who was supposed to have got a bad run on Friday, was sent out a hard and fast favourite for the Pakipaki Handicap, and Tutankhamen was also .well backed, lint anything else would have paid a long price. The start was good, but the favourite was at once chopped back Into a hopeless position. Tutankhamen, however, got going smartly, and before long was sailing along in front with Master Beckwith, and going very_ comfortably he ran ou to win easily from Master Beckwith and Star Shell, who were always well up. The next two to finish were Capitulation and Nine of Spades, and as they both came from a long way back their running was promising. There is not much to say about the Juvenile Handicap, for which Mimetic was sent out on odds-ou favourite. Tlia Comedy King—Joyeuse colt drew the out- ’’ Bide position at the barrier, having the inexperienced War, ICit alongside him, so it looked rather bad judgment making him such a red-hot favourite. He also had to contend with having a little boy up. The result was that when the tapes were released Mimetic was the last to leave. After that Mimetic was always on the outside of the course, and he finished sixth. As for the race Din Arlington and Shirley, who drew; ipside positions,/were clear of the rest before going far. Shirley soon headed Din Arlington, and ran home an easy winner from him, the two being well Clear. The minor races having been got through the somewhat impatient crowd, who had been simmering with excitement all the day, at last reached boiling point, and as soon as Gloaming and The Hawk put

iu an appearance there was a rush to get positions to view them. Both geldings stripped well. hut The Hawk, ,who was wearing bandages iu front, stripped bigger and better than ever before. In fact he looked perfect, and there is no wonder that he did so well in Australia , and that his ownertrainer (Jack Cameron) was encouraged to tackle the great Gloaming. He was wearing aluminium shoes in front, and so was Gleam, ing. Both were cool as they walked round, and they cantered down separately amid a ■salvo of cheers from their separate admirers, 'both going nicely. There was some betting , on the two, and Gloaming carried a little less than twice as much as The Hawk. After the machine was olosed the excitement reached fever point. S)o highly strung were some that, one of them —Mr W. Ellingham, who bred Moifa and who is an old identity in Hawke’s Bay—dropped dead from heart failure in the ofg stand. The start was delayed a little owing to both horses and ridel's being keen, but eventually the two champions got away together. The Hawk, on tho outside, was the first to find his feet, and Lo led by two lengths at the end of two furlongs, which were run in 25 T-ssec, and he was still in charge when half tho distance was covered in 50 3-ssec. Then Gloaming ran up on the outside of the Martian gelding, and entering the straight he had about a neck’s advantage, while he was still going well, and Gray was niggling at The Hawk. From there on Gloaming was always a winner, and he sailed past the post an easy winner a neck in front of his gallant opponent —a distance that would have been bigger had G. Young desired to make it so. The cheers were deafening when tho two champions trotted back to salute the judge, and the police had hard work to keep the crowd back long enough to allow the horses to get back to the scales. After that the birdcage was filled with people, and jvhen Gloaming was led along the lawn he was surrounded by a dense and yelling crowd, all of which he endured like a gentleman. The cinema people were very busy all the while, and everybody got photographed. The handsome gold cup, that was the coveted trophy that drew the two champions to Hastings, was presented to Mr G. D. Greenwood by Mr G. Ormond, and Mr Jack Cameron was the first man to congratulate him and E. J. Mason. The blue pressed his satisfaction at Gloaming’s win by Miss Molly Russell. Mr Greenwood expressed his satisfaction at Gloaming’s wini. and Mr Cameron, who was called upon for a speech, said that he always knew that Gloaming and R. J. Mason were tough propositions, but his horse had done so well in Australia that his deeds had led him to throw down the gauntlet to an unbeatable pair, and he had been beaten, at which he was not surprised. The Hawk had not disgraced him, and he was proud of ills performance, The advantage of drawing a good position at the barrier was fully emphasised in the Akitio Handicap Blue Jay, Manutai. and Jubilee were the first to begin from the outside, and they were never headed. Turning for home Jubilee swung wide, ami for a moment it looked as if ■ Pantagruel and Huikai wodld get through, but recognising his indiscertion, the boy on Jubilee squeezed, and Huikai and Pantagiuel were shut out. The dividend payers wade their backers rejoice, but were it insisted -upon that horses should keep their track after entering the straight Pantagruel would have won. As it was, be finished third, not half a length from the winner. The owner of Kilmere could

not have fancied her chance much, as the Kiibroney—Blue Lake filly carried 171 b overweight. H. Gray rode her- Newbury King again got away badly. The most successful meeting ever hold on the Hastings racecourse was brought to a close with the Ohitu Handicap, and once again the advantage of beginning smartly and getting the rails was proclaimed, for Lady Joyce, Polly Peaoham, and Bonena were out and away before the rest got moving, and they led to the straight, where they took full advantage of their advantage, for they spread fan-shape, and just when Sottano and I’Amour shot up to take advantage of the openings made they dosed again, and stopped their two most dangerou ■ candidates in their stride. Sottano, who is a lean, hungry-looking son of Nassau and Cassock, can gallop, and he was very unlucky to lose this race. All through the two days there was a lot of crossing from the outside to the inside' at the home turn. Chaplin, in the Longlands Handicap on the first day. chopped the field into a heap, but no notice was taken of it. Lin Arlington interfered with Shirley and Gold Box, end was disqualified. and rightlv so. Then in the Burke Memorial, Haurangi, under the whip, come smack across on to the rails, and got second rnonev from Good, Sport bv doing so. Those are only a few of the most glaring cases, but little notice was taken of them. . The Napier Park Club is very anxious to have Gloaming and The Hawk meet at its meeting, but there is little chance of their doing so, as Mason will leave tor home with Gloaming on Monday. (Peb United Press Association.) HASTINGS, May 9. • The sum of £38.128 passed through the totafisator, as compared with £16,979 on the second day last year.
