Tie Dunedin Jockey Club’s summer meetrag was concluded in fine weather, but the attendance was rather disappointmg in numbers. The track had improved COMiderably since the opening day and provided- fairly fast going. V The Milburn Hurdles proved to be a Mod betting race between Amorist, Hard Prince, and Antrim Boy. . A solid pace JTO Brt -from the outset, and crossing the stand hurdle Antrim Boy and Craig- ' raore were showing the, way. Craigmore Made a bad jump at the mile post and then Hard Prince took a hand at the pace-making angled along the back from Antrim Boy> wMo again ran to the front when going up the rise. Antrim Boy tamed for home with a good lead, and nßally won by over four lengths from Amorist, who beat Membo by a head. Hard Prince.stopped badly in the run. home, and Craigmore refused at the last hurdle over, but fortunately without the rider being injured. ’ Gay ■Fashion’s nder • lost his irons. An inquiry'was held into Antrim Boy’s runDing as compared with that of the first S? 7 : a ® d , a “? r hearing evidence, including that of betting, the explanation was aoMptiGut The punters were puzzled about the AHanton Handicap as the first six fancied were evenly backed.. When the neid settled down Homecoming took charge from Kakara. Tippling, High' Speed, nnd Fair Exchange. High Speed dropped back. Homecoming led up the nse and into, the straight from Kakara, Tippling, Fair Exchange, and Killorna! Corn Queen joined the leaders in the '■ “ ral s% .and when well inside the distance Qhmopal arrived on the scene with * strong'run and got up to beat Homecoming by a neck. Fair Exchange was a nhort length away with Kakara close up And then came Tippling and' Imp'ertinSflce. , T*oyal Saxon Spoon, and El Boa were Btruck out of the Grand Stand Handicap and Meadow Lark started - about £BO better favourite than Rin Tin Tin. Waving Lorn again gave some trouble, but °S™*fjw tt a fair line. Palermo and-Ein Tin Tin were .slow to move. Aspiring at once shot out to thai lead and showed the way to Meadow Lark, Silver Paper,/Money Mine, and Waving. „° rn .', Aspiring was still well clear going ?P j V Be ’J but once in the straight ; Meadow Lark ran to the front and won by two, lengths from Aspiring, who beat Wavmg Cora fay a short length. Silver *&per and tae othera were .close up. Compris started a short-priced favour- "®. ion the. St, Andrew’s Handicap, and apart from Spoon and Caterpillar the others were showing a good price. Pink Note gave,trouble at the barrier. Caterpillar earned the field along all the way v nd -»7 as J °?. y caagb t in last'6o yards by Mount Boa, who raced to the front and Won going away. Spoon and Sapient were Closest to the leader all the way, but Compns and Camisader were in a hopeless position going along the back. Compris ran a bad race, and did not seem able to gather any pace during the early wages of the race, ■ Dumblane, Night Parade, Night Rose, snd+5 nd + ? a -L ance i. ? 1 < F£ ed , moat oi tJie business on the Pernhill Handicap. The big field gave some trouble, but finally the barrier rose to a fair stark, Solanum was left several lengths. Night .Effort, Appeal, and Ballance were smartest on tbeir lees. 811 j ? n f e T. in „ the faack Appeal took charge and led Ballance, Night Rose, Birdwood, Jock o Hazeldean, and Night Effort to the home turn, where Night Parade ran, into place. Night Effort apparently had Ballance beaten, and then Night Parade ran to the front and won by half ■ * length from Ballance, who Came again and beat Night Effort fay a neck. Solanum raade up_ a lot of ground, and ran into fourth place, and appeared unlucky to miss tue win that would have come his way with a good start. Jock o’ Hazeldeatt faded but at the home turn, and behind the first four came Night Rose, Shortly, and Good Gift. Dumblane was amongst the tail of the field until the far turn. He then made a forward move, but .did not get dangerous. Fair Weather weiit, out an odda-on chance for the Juvenile Handicap, and Won well after being patiently handled. He was first away, but let Hula Belle make, the running up, the rise and untilwell inside the distance. Fair Weather was then called on, and be came on to win by two lengths. Dulen again made up ground, and was a length and a-hal£ Sway third. , Circulation started, favourite in a good, betting race on the Taieri Handicap. El Boa carried on tbe running along the back from Some Toff and Solmar, and they were . followed by First Raid and-Glen-rowan, Once in line for the post Some Toff was sent to the front, and won by a length and a-hal£ from Solmar, who beat First Raid by a short headj ' Circulation was badly placed along the back, and going up the rise came right round the field as they made the home turn. She Tan up to fourth place at the finish. Meprieant struck trouble near the six-furlong poet, and this did not help whatever chance he held. The meeting concluded with AI Jolson starting a better favourite than Steeton in tbe Farewell Handicap, which proved a tragedy for heavy supporters of the fancied lot. Musent Misaj on the rails, made the running with Captivate, and they led Al Jolson on the outside into the straight, where Steeton was handy to tbe leaders. Musent Miss shortly after entering the straight ran right to the outside and scattered the field. ; Nanette, who had ■ been fairly close up, got a good run near the rails,, and although Al Jolson came on he suffered defeat by a short length. Steeton was close up, and Musent Miss, under tbe judge’s box, finished a good fourth. - The result was an illustration of the glorious ■ uncertainty of racing, as ■ when the mishap occurred Al Jolson looked an almost certain winner. Tbe field spread out like a fan when Musent Miss ran out, and anything with a possible chance could not get a passage through at tbe most critical part of the race. The winner paid the dividend of the ineeting. The totalisator handled £16,097 10s during the day, compared with £21,786 for tbe second day of last year’s meeting, making a total of £33,315 for the meeting, compared with £45,553 last year.
