NOTES BY “SIR MOORED.” (By Telegraph). » DUNEDIN, February 17. There was a fair attendance for the second day of the D.J.C. fixture. The weather was dry but a strong wind was very disagreeable. The principal event of the day again fell to a Southland owner. In the Hindon Hurdles, Boro (MeSeveny) was at once taken to the front from Lord Frederick (Ellis). The leader ran down the first two fences hut hold the command through the straight. At the mile fence both Bore and Lord Fredrick jumped out, and at the next obstacle the latter bumped Ellis out of the saddle, but the Riverton horseman made a fine recovery. This settled the chance of Lord Frederick. Racing to the far turn Peerless ran up from last place and joined Bore, but the favourite was in front again at the last fence, and Bore was striding along comfortably on the flat when Castiron made a good run on the rails, passing Peerless. Bore (Calibre—Clyde), had to be ridden out to win hy half a length. Peerless two lengths away third, Lord Frederick a 1 hundred yards off. Cincinnatus, who ran second to Silent Way on the opening day after being loft at the post, was made a hot favourite in the Henley Handicap, and with L. Wilson in the saddle never left the issue in doubt, winning by live lengths from Sister Regis, who beat Hardshot hy a head for second place, Kiltess a bad fourth. The winner is a son of Varco. From a good start in the Anniversary j Handicap Magdala was slow to move. ] Aerial and Ogier made the running to I the straight, where Down and Magdala j at once closed up. In the run homo Magdala, by Comedian —-Minaret (J. Olsen), stalled off Down, winning by a neck. Fender, who was running in the rear the greater part of the way, finished third, three lengths behind the leaders, Jeannot fourth. Aerial fifth. Bearing in mind the fact that Magdala was the last to finish in the Wairio Cup, won hy Marsa, very few Suutlilanders supported Mr Beck’s horse, who returned a double figure dividend. The Comedian gelding is looking well and scored comfortably. The Hazlett Memorial Plate provided a sporting match over seven furlongs between Panmure (A. Oliver), and First Glance (H. Donovan). Apart from the j wagering considerations, public and pro- | fessional racing men generally took a j great interest in the contest between the i Imported representatives of England and I Ireland. First Glance was the quickest j to begin, and had a length and a quarter 1 lead passing the six furlong post. Pan- \ mure moved up slightly climbing the rise, but the Irish mare was fu-st into the straight hy over a length. Panmure rattled homo in fine style and in a slogging finish won by half a head. The English horse was loudly cheered on returning to the birdcage. The sum of £827 was invested on the totalisator. There was a big field and heavy wagering in the Outram Handicap. From a good start Kentlock and Sir Malt made the running, with Hornbeam handy. At the turn Lady Trent and Charleville moved un. At the distance Kentlock was beaten and Hornbeam and Charleyille drew away. In a good finish the

Oamam gelding Charleville, by Charlemagne ll—Nithscvo (J. Campbell) beat Hornbeam (Olsen) by half a length, with Stargazer (Bryce) close up. Kcntlock fourth, Deltonio and Takedown next. Lady Trent failed to stay and Brooksdalc was never sighted. Reval (L. Wilson) was supported as if he could not lose the Domain Handicap, and so it proved, as after Charmilla . had made the running the favourite came along and beat her home comfortably by a neck, Multoe four lengths away third, then in order Kaminoho, Cortes, and Bullcr. The last-named was prominent in the early stage, but faded out in the run to the judge. Wardancer, by Martian —Stepdancor IF. e. Jones) was made favourite for the City Handicap, but was all out to win by a short head from Don Pacifico, with Kilboyne three lengths off. The "White King was left but headed the field up the hill, dying away in the straight. At the start of the Suburban Welter All Ready was left at the post and took no part in the race. Palisade was responsible for most of the running, and led into the straight, but Daringdalc came with a fine run and beat him home by a length. Gnome three lengths away third, followed by Fabrikoff, Snapdragon, Mcrrie Gain. The Canrobert gelding, who was ridden a good race by A. McKay, was well supported by southern visitors, yet returned a good price. Pinnacle was not sighted on the journey. WEIGHTS FOR SATURDAY. DUXKDIX, February 17.
