Conditions were again excellent for racing at Riccarton to-day. The sun was warm, but a keen breeze was in evidence during the day. A regrettable feature of the racing was the death of The Smuggler, who broke his neck in the Grand National Hurdles Handicap. The Hunt Cup. Money Mine completed a double by winning the Hunt Cup, and it was a popular win. Cock o’ the North and Royston set out to make the pace from Burglar. At the third fence, a sod wall, Cock o’ the North dropped his rider and Royston went on clear from Burglar, MoneyMine and Kaokaoroa. All went well until Cutts’s, where Burglar attempted to go with Royston, but ran off. At the second of the Kennels Double Kaokaoroa baulked. Money Mine set out after Royston and headed him after the second last fence. Money Mine broke down four fences from home, but, skilfully nursed, struggled on gamely to beat Bonny Buff by two lengths. Royston was two lengths away. Then came Royal Buck. The winner is a splendid fencer and this stood to him. He was definitely superior. Royston again failed to stay. Duke of Gloucester Cup.

Great interest was taken in the Duke of Gloucester Cup for amateur riders. Shy was far too good and won handsomely. Locksley was slow to get going, Hunting Bag showing out, when they settled down, from Acla, Tail Light, Golden King and Shy. At the far turn Latitude was in third place. Positions changed quickly across the top, but into the straight Hunting Bag led Acla, Wexford Bridge, Shy and Signaller. Once in line Shy forged to the front and won very easily by four lengths from Golden King. Hunting Bay was a length away. Then came Tail Light, Maine and Acena. The winner is a useful sort and won the Carbine Plate at Ellerslie with the same rider. Golden King ran a good race, and so did Hunting Bag. Acla failed to see it out. Maine was sore on returning to the enclosure. Signaller again failed. The Governor-General (Viscount Galway) presented the cup amid a scene of enthusiasm. Beaufort Steeplechase Handicap. Manawatu gave a greatly improved display on his first day’s form to win the Beaufort Steeplechase Handicap, which was a fine race. Nocturnus made the running from Manawatu, Billy Boy and Punchestown. All the field jumped well over the first round and the order was unchanged. Manawatu was with Nocturnus in front over the final stages. Billy Boy, Pahu and Punchestown were handy. The latter hit the second last fence hard. Royal Limond ran off. Manawat' led over the final fence and came away to beat the fast-finishing Pahu by four lengths. Billy Boy was half a length away. Then came Punchestown and Nocturnus. The winner jumped very much better tlian on the first day and won well. Pahu was always handy to head Billy Boy. Punchestown was going well when he hit the second last fence and settled his chance. Nocturnus ran his best race to date. Woolston Handicap. Grey Honour, at a short price, won the Woolston Handicap, after being well handled. Rousseau was chopped out at the start and Grey Honour was the first to show from Autumn Wind and Silver Slipper. Across the top the latter went to the front from Autumn Wind, Grey Honour and Silver Lark. The order was unchanged entering the straight, where Braw Lad was next. Once straightened up Grey Honour forged to the front and beat Monipere by half a length. The Sandwichman was four lengths away, followed by Autumn Wind, Poniard, Red Top, Cyclonic and Orris. The winner was well ridden by L. J. Ellis and the son of Honour will be heard from again. Monipere came very fast from the back and finished well. So did the third horse. Poniard showed encouraging form. Braw Lad was squeezed out in the run home, but was beaten at the time. Silver Slipper is fast, but he could not see it out. Grand National Hurdles. R. Beale completed the big double by riding Jolly Beggar to victory in the Grand National Hurdle Race Handicap. The topweight got a great reception. Vai Watch tore away to the front at the start and opened up a big gap from Stre'amline, Clarion Call and Joumet. At the second fence Joumet and The Smuggler came down. Racing past the stand Vai Watch still led Streamline,

Polydora (who fell), Clarion Call, Silk Sox and Jolly Beggar. A mile from home Clarion Call displaced Vai Watch in front from Jolly Beggar, Streamline, Silk Sox and Travelling Agent Racing to the final fence Jolly Beggar joined Clarion Call and landed over the last fence ahead of him, followed by Silk Sox, Streamline and Travelling Agent. Jolly Beggar always had it in his keeping from then on and beat Clarion Call by two lengths. Streamline was seven lengths away, followed by Silk Sox, Travelling Agent, Ruaform and Vai Watch. Jolly Beggar won handsomely after a splendid display. He is the thud horse to win this race two years in succession, Liberator and Gladful being the others. Beale accomplished the feat of winning the Grand National Steeplechase and the Grand National Hurdle Race for the first time since 1910, when W. Young rode Teami and Paisono. When The Smuggler fell he broke his neck and was destroyed. Deslandes, the rider of Journet, broke his collarbone.

Previous Winners.

1935 Jolly Beggar 910 H. Turner 4.56 Up to 1914 the distance was about two miles, in 1915 it was about 2*4 miles, and in 1916 about 2*,i> miles. Spreydon Hurdles Handicap. Redolent gave a good display of jumping to win the Spreydon Hurdles Handicap and was well ridden by Baker, a North Islander, who intends making a change to the South Island. Brevity led at the first fence from Havering, Redolent and Saltspray. Then Redolent and Havering went on from Brevity, Saltspray and Lord Hereford. At the second last fence Havering hit hard. Redolent and Lord Hereford led to the straight from Saltspray. The others were a long way back. Battleground had fallen at the last fence. Redolent and Lord Hereford had a good tussle home, but the former finished too well and won by two lengths. Saltspray was four lengths away. Then came, a long way back, Havering and Signaller. The winner is related to Red Boa, and is a good type of hurdler. Saltspray carried his weight well. Islington Handicap. Travenna created a surprise by winning the Islington Handicap at a double-figure quote. Silk Arrow and Davolo were slow away. Gold Cross jumped out best to lead Travenna and Wall Street into the back. The leader still held it at the far turn from Travenna, Wall Street, Mount Vai and Davolo. Travenna then took charge, Gold Cross dropping out, and led Wall Street, Davolo and Mount Vai into the straight. It' was easy for Travenna, who beat Wall Street by two lengths Davolo was three lengths away, just ahead of Mount Vai. Then followed Lady Graceful, Queen of Song and Royal Gallant. Travenna won very well for a deserving owner. Wall Street was always well placed and had every chance. Davolo was a bit unlucky in losing ground early, but nothing had a chance against the winner. The race will do Lady Graceful good and this applies also to Queen of Song. August Handicap. There was a real boil-over in the August Handicap, Carfex winning narrowly and paying over £5O. Great Star, Adelene and Arena showed the way when they settled down and the order was the same down the back with Kemal Pasha and Fairweather next. Great Star still held command across the top from Gaysome, who had travelled fast. Kemal Pasha, Dollar Bill and Adelene were next. It was a great race in the straight, with seven horses across the track in line. Over the final few yards Carfex shot out to beat Pukeko by half a length. Metal Bird was the same distance away, a head in front of Boomerang. Then almost in line came Great Star, Adelene and Copyist. The winner came from well back over the final furlong and won narrowly with a great run. Pukeko also came home well, as did Metal Bird. Adelene failed to run on. It was a great finish and aroused keen excitement. THE HANDICAPS FOR SATURDAY (United Press Association.) Christchurch, August 13. Following are the handicaps for the third day of the Grand National meeting on Saturday:—

LONGREACH HANDICAP (Flat), £2OO. Hack conditions. Six furlongs.

EASTERN SOUTHLAND HOUNDS MEETING AT MATAURA. The Eastern Southland hounds, on the invitation of the Mataura members of the club, held a meet at The Pines, the homestead of Mr W. Scott. Fourteen riders were present. The first draw was down on the flats. The flats were almost under water, and the hares had moved up on to the terraces. Crossing the road into Mr Lester Scarlet’s property, some rough cover held a good, straight going quarry, which gave the hounds about two miles up to the ridges. From Mr Scarlet’s the line led into Mr Jones’s, all the riders safely crossing the boundary gorse fence. The well-kept fences on Mr Jones’s property were hard to jump, though a gate was often used. The pack was seen crossing the skyline into Mr Parker’s country over the top road. Hares were very plentiful and the hounds got away at sight on two fresh hares, thus dividing the pack. At last the hounds were whipped off, packed up, and taken back over the road into Mr Jones’s farm. In the meantime, those looking on, taking advantage of the good roads, had arrived in motor cars and on bicycles. On Mr Jones’s property there were plenty of hares in the tussocky gullies, and onlookers on the higher ground thoroughly enjoyed watching the hounds work. Amongst those on bicycles were Mr M. Lawlor. Casualties were few, one top wire was broken, and at a gorse fence, with a ditch on both sides, most of the horses did not jump wide enough. One horse landed on his back in the opposite ditch, pinning his rider by the leg.. A friend soon took a pull on the bridle and let the rider free, and the horse was then rolled out of the ditch. . The afternoon was fine and bright, but a steady east wind was blowing and was against good scenting conditions. RIFLE SHOOTING U.S.A. CLUB. A shoot took place at the R.S.A. rifle range last night. There was a poor attendance, several members being indisposed. The trophy for the night was won by J. Ure with 78—1—79. The shooting showed a slight improvement. Members are reminded of the championship shoots which can be made up. A father and son evening will be held later.

WRESTLING KRUSE SUPERIOR TO RUSSELL. (United Press Association.) Christchurch, August 13. In one of the brightest wrestling bouts seen at Ashburton, Kruse beat Russel by two falls to one to-night. Russell was awarded the first fall with an Indian deathlock in the fourth round. The referee had to disengage the wrestlers’ legs. In the sixth round Russell submitted to a hammer lock and when the same hold was put on at the opening of the seventh round he submitted at once. The whole bout was fast, with Kruse definitely superior. McCREADY DEFEATS FORSGREN. (United Press Association.) Palmerston North, August 13. Wrestling before a packed house, Earl McCready defeated Jack Forsgren, by a fall obtained in the last round by means of a dump and body press. BLOMFIELD DEFEATS LEATHERS. (United Press Association.) Masterton, August 13. “Lofty” Blomfield defeated Sam Leathers before a’ packed house after six rounds of a most hectic and colourful wrestling contest. Both men featured elbow jolts and unruly tactics throughout. Leathers took the first fall in the fourth round with a figure four body scissors. In the sixth round Blomfield took a submission fall with an octopus clamp. Leathers was unable to come out for the seventh round.

GOLF NEW ZEALAND TASMAN CUP TEAM MELBOURNE CRITIC IMPRESSED (United Press Assn.—Telegraph Copyright.) (Rec. 10.0 p.m.) Melbourne, August 13. The members of the New Zealand Tasman Cup women’s golf team played a practice match at Melbourne to-day on their way to Adelaide. Although all were beaten they displayed considerable brilliance. A leading commentator says: "They are distinctly impressive; they are better stylists than most of our players, and have more controlled swings, a sounder sense of balance and get the ball through remarkably well. It will be extremely difficult to stop one of them winning the Australian title at Adelaide. Sand bunker work handicapped the New Zealanders to-day. Mrs Fullerton-Smith is the finest woman swinger seen on the Melbourne links.” The play to-day resulted:— Misses Morpeth and McLeod (Victoria) defeated Miss Oliver Kay and Mrs Fullerton-Smith (New Zealand), 1 up.

Mrs Alex. Russell and Miss E. Hutton (Victoria) defeated Misses J. Horwell and V. Fleming (New Zealand), 3 and 2. Mrs E. Shaw and Miss J. Sinclair (Victoria), defeated Miss P. Helean (New Zealand) and Miss Bailey (Victoria), 1 up. The visitors left for Adelaide tonight. QUEEN'S PARK CLUB.

CRICKET HARDSTAFF NOT PLAYING IN TEST. (United Press Assn.—Telegraph Copyright.) London, August 12. It is reasonably certain that J. Hardstaff, who is suffering from a twisted leg, will not play for England against India in the third Test on August 15, but there is nothing definite about his chances of making a quick recovery. C. J. Barnett (Gloucester) will replace him. LAWN TENNIS ANNUAL REPORT OF NEW ZEALAND ASSOCIATION. (United Press Association.) Wellington, August 13. The annual report of the New Zealand Tennis Association states that the number of player members of affiliated clubs decreased by 1700 from the previous season, the number for 1935-36 being 30,172. The tour of V. B. McGrath and E. F. Moon resulted in a satisfactory financial return to the association. The association spent £54 during the year on junior coaching, with beneficial results to players. Owing to the unfavourable financial results of the Davis Cup matches played by New Zealand in the European zone during the previous two years, it was decided not to enter a challenge for 1936. The loss for the two years was £247. The statement of accounts shows an excess of expenditure over income for the year of £167, which is explained by the expenditure of £304 by the association on the visit of players to Australia.

SECONDARY SCHOOLS’ MATCH. OTAGO DEFEATS SOUTHLAND. At Dunedin yesterday morning the annual hockey match between the Otago and Southland Boys’ High Schools’ teams resulted in a win for Otago by four goals to nil. The game was much closer than the scores would indicate. Three of the goals were the result of breakaway rushes by the Otago centre-,

forward, who played a particularly fine game. The Otago High School ground was dry and hard, and the game was contested at a fast pace throughout. Otago led by three goals to nil at half-time. In the second half the Southland team made several determined attacks, but the play of the Otago full-backs was sound and Southland could not score. Messrs Hobson and Mulholland were the referees. The Southland team returned to Invercargill by the express last evening, accompanied by Mr H. F. Drees, who was manager. BOXING EDER KNOCKS OUT AMERICAN. (United Press Assn.—Telegraph Copyright.)
