Beautiful weather prevailed to-day for the continuation of the Gisborne Racing Club's summer meeting at the Park racecourse. There was again a large attendance. * A large number of the visitors were conveyed to the course by rail, whilst the taxis and cabs were kept busily engaged, making Childers road a scene of much animation. Nothing was wanting in the manner in' which the general arrangements were attended to, t lie multifarious duties devolving upon the secretary (Ma- H. E. Dodd) and his efficient -staff being ably carried out, whilst the other officials aiso performed their duties in a- satisfactory manner. Some interesting racing was expected during the afternoon. Music was again supplied by Messrs Vita Bros., whilst an 'excellent luncheon was provided, by Mr J. Erskine.

This order remained unchanged until the trio left the back stretch, when Bravest overhauled Ambergris, and making a better leap at the next jump went to the front. Chatmos fell, and the rider (Flynn) hurt his leg. 'Bravest gradually drew away from Ambergris, and won by several lengths. Mr W. S.
