FORBURY PARK SUMMER MEETING.

DUNEDIN CUP TO CONCLIFF. INTERESTING DAY’S SPORT. The Forbury Park Trotting Club’s summer meeting was opened in beautifully fine weather yesterday, and a large attendance viewed the sport provided the first card on the programme. The track was in excellent order, and received a liberal watering in the early part of the afternoon. Towards the end, however, clouds of dust were in evidence, and it is apparent that the club requires a more up-to-date and rapid method of watering the track so as to eliminate the unnecessary danger created by the bulk of a close-running field being forced to race in dense clouds of dust. An absence of wind contributed towards fast racing, and in the principal event the second mile was cut out in 2min 7 4-ssec and the last half under Imin 3sec. The slow pace set over the first mile materially assisted Concliff to score, as it enabled him to beat the opposition for speed after he hit the front over five furlongs from home. Fast marks were reached in connection with the final event on the card, and, apart from the dust, the racing took place under ideal track conditions. The majority of the field in the V auxhall Handicap gave a poor exhibition of trotting, and the fact that Peter Fashion was the only horse that maintained a level gait won him the race. Peter Fashion led from end to end, and others such as Arctotis only showed patches ot sneed badly discounted by breaks. Alt those that finished near the winner were breaking up at different stages ot the race A protest lodged against the second horse on the grounds of galloping was, after consideration, dismissed. , Planet, Event, and High Jinks bioke up at the start for the Electric Handicap. Omaha, Four Bells. Locanda UuU Pointalena, and Sahib showed the waypast the stand, and going down the back Omaha and Four Bells opened up a good lead, but the latter commenced to tire over the final two furlongs, and . the former led a bunched lot into the straight, with Desert Star coming through into second place. Omaha kept clear and finally won by three lengths from Desert Star, who beat Pointalena by two lengths. Then came a close ; running bunch comnrised of Firpo, High Jinks, and Four Bells High Jinks did well to finish close to the placed lot after losing a lot ot ground at the start and failing to strike his gait until the end of a furlong. Fairlight and Sea Queen went a leve race in the Musselburgh Handicap, and had Pieter Timmerman and the breaking Avalanche as their nearest attendants, followed by Sarsaparilla. Sea Queen proved to be too good for Fairlight over the final quarter, and the latter was I . ucl , cy . to , second, as a break in the last half furlong cost Pieter Timmerman the position when it was apparently in sa ; e k H° pl ” ] ';: Avalanche finished close up after bieak ing up several times, and Swiftbine had h"s chance wrecked by turning round at th Jolly rt Chimes and Logan Park were withdrawn from the Dunedin Cup. The counled pair, Terence Dillon and Dalnahine were elected a strong fancy, and carried nearly twice as much support as Coneliff, who started next in demandHarry Audubon and Wiliam the Great made the running until a little overfive furlongs from home, when Coneliff laccci to the front. St. Maura, Golden Devon, Silk Thread, and Logan Holm were all handv to the leaders in the early stages of the race. Terence Dillon was boxed in on the rails, and Dalnahine seemed to make up his handicap too soon. Bonny Logan was P fairly well placed in front ot the field with the final lap to go. Concliff’s speed carried him into the lead, and setting a solid pace for the rest of the journey, he appeared to win with something in reserve beyond his winning mar gin when stalling off Bonny Logan in the fun home. ’ Machine .Gun finished fast into third place, and just cut St. Maura out of the position. Terence Dillon who got a bad run, finished close up, and .v as followed by William the Great and Golden Devon. Silk Thread appeared to be a bit lame after the race. The pace was not particularly fast, as the first halt occupied Imin 12 2-sr,ec, a mile 2min 22sec, and the first ten furlongs 3nnn 27sec. This seemed to favour Coneliff s chanco, and perhaps accounted tor the fact that he appeared to stay on better than in his previous attempts over the same distance. The presentation ot the trophv bv Miss Irwin after a few congratulatory remarks by the president (Mr B. S. Irwin) was made to the accompaniment of appreciative applause. The scratching pen deleted John Logan, Free Lance, and Warcpa from the Southland Handicap, in which Dundas Boy went out favourite, but declined to go off at the start. Real Light soon joined Don Derby in the lead, and when Firebrand threatened danger three furlongs from home, the first-named came away without being seriously called on. Real Light d:ew out to a six lengths lead, and winning rather comfortably over the final furlong, made it really a one-horse race. Elzear went out favourite for the Otago Cup, but did not assist her chance by dwelling at the start. Clonmel, Petroleuse, and Our Lady broke up at the start. Duke Bingen showed the way for about a mile and a-quarter, but then commenced to tire. Engagement took charge about three furlongs and a-half from home and scored comfortably from Blue Thorpe, who put in a couple of breaks in the final quarter. Cannonball settled his chance bv breaking when racing close up to the leaders six furlongs from home. Elzear and Trampfast did not become dangerous, as the. front lot established a good lead in the first mile, which they covered in 2min 20 2-osec. A handsome silver cup accompanied the stakes, and when Miss Irwin presented the trophy to Mr J. C. South lie congratulated the club on its praiseworthy effort to encourage the straight-out trotter. Jackie Audubon finished up favourite in a good betting race on the King George Handicap. He took charge a little over a circuit from home and had not any great difficulty in stalling off La Sonncttc at the finish. Okoura made tho early running, and after dropping back came on again to finish a good third. Logan Hanlon and Tennessee’s Child were fairly prominent for about a mile and a-half, but then drifted back. Liberal and Vesuvins stood on the mark at the rise o£ the hairier, and Hector’s Own was slow to move. Acre was never in a dangerous position, and stumbled badly when racing three furlongs from home. The fact that Desert Star, who was on a 2.15 mark in the Flying Handicap, wont 2.13 3-5 in the Electric Handicap brought him into favour, and he looked to hold a good winning chance when in charge five furlongs from home. At this stage Brcntloc had run into third place, and then nut his foot into Diamond Child’s sulky. Desert Star led into the hack from BVentloc. and Logan Park then landed on the scene. Desert Star and Logan Park raped together in front of Brcntloc round the top, and in the run home Logan Parkwon cleverly bv a long neck. Brentloc finished a good two lengths further back. The totalisator handled £25.866 10s for the day, as compared with £25,427 for the corresponding day of the summer meeting last vear.

TO-DAY’S FIELDS REVIEWED, The fields for to-day’s card have filled well—and again there is every prospect of good racing. In the Cup yesterday Terence Dillon got badly boxed in during the running and did not get clear until his chance was practically hopeless. He is on the same mark toMay, and with a better run ho will be ode of the hardest to boat. Bonny Logan has been tightened up 12yds for running second to ConclifT and this will probably make it harder for her through Machine Gun. Logan Park paced such a fine race to win the Flying Handicap that ho ; s assured of support, and he may bo pro ferrer! to Terence Dillon and Machine Gun Twenty-two is the main for the Mile Saddle, and the field includes some horses that were not saddled up yesterday. One of them, Huon Denver, would be favourite if there was a guaraniee that he would leave the mark, but in the absence of that the public may prefer the Pointalena— Omaha bracket.. Granite City and Ayr. In most of (he other races the public will probably find a difficulty in locating f the favourites, but horses that should run well are All Peters, Arctotis. and Wattle Patch in the Waverley Handicap; Sarsaparilla, >Sea Queen, and Fair’ight in the Gore Handicap: Terence Dillon, Logan Park, and Machine Gun in the Metropoli tan Handicap; Dundas Boy, Firebrand, and Nelson M’Elwyn in the Stewards' Hand! cap; Cannonball. Elzear, and John Mauritius in the Crescent Handicap: La Sonnette, Panto, and Tennessee’s Child in the Royal Handicap; and Bob Logan. William the Great, and Acre in tbe An Revoir Handicap.
