OTEMATA RACES AND SPORTS.

These sports came off on Christmas Day under very favourable auspices. The day being fine had the desired effect in drawing a large assemblage of spectators ,v .together to witness the sports, as well as the match between Bosco (of Otematata Cup fame) and Shadow for £50 ; distance add weights the same as in the above I Cup. The latter had to' succumb to the gelding after a good race. • A Hack Handicap was got up, and Tristan appropriated the stakes easily from fonr others. The best of order prevailed, and no accident of any kind occurred to mar the pleasure of the day. The results are as follow,:— Match fob £50.— Nine stone up. One mile and ahalf. '■ Mr W Melville's br g Bobco, by Westover (GMonkly) 1 Mr J Condon's c m Shadow, by.Pertrobe ( J Green) 2 A fair start was effected; when Bosco was quickest on his legs, and led post the stand. At the quarter post Shadow cut past the gelding at a great pace, and continued so until the straight was reached, when the gelding came away and won by four lengths. Hack Scubby Handicap.— One mile and a dis- . ' tance. Mr Cairns' Tristan, lost 101b (G Adlam) 1 Mr Cairns' Formosa. 9sfc 71b > (G Monkley) 2 Mr M' ll wraith's Champion, lost ...

The latter took command at the half-mile post, and at the three-quarter post Adlam brought up Tristan, and the two ran locked together to the straight, when Tristan was let out and passed Champion, who also had to succumb to Formosa, who was three lengths behind Tristan.
