EGHOXT-WAXGAXUI .IIEETI.W.

Tho Hawera gelding, Son o' Mine, was in groat fettle- ye|sterday. He

was an! odds-on favourite! in the

Hunters' Hurdles, which he won

from the Waitara-owaed Waitaunuha by half a length. He was produced again in the Hunt Cup Steeplechase and when the field had gone

about half the distance he went

to the front an'd went on to win easily by about a dozen lengths. ovitier-Trainer J. Brown deserves credit for the way he produced the, son of Finland—Lovelock, and looks

like winning some races bjfort, the jumping season closes. * ■» * Th e Warden won' the Waihau Hack Handicap in imprefssive style. He was always going well and he finished cm solidly. He is in g'.ou fettle and further success may be looked for soon, as he seems to revel in heavy ground. *# * * Winacre, who filled second place in the Waverley Hack and Waihau WfctAl is a useful three-year-old and was a bit unlucky to meet such good hacks in Gowan Lea and The Warden. Her winning turn will not be long delayed.

* * * Gowen Lea, the winner of the Waveiiey Hack, is a three-year-old gelding by Sheffield. Gray had him well placed all the way, and he finished on well. Gowen Lea i,s a likely lookittg sort that will, win some races soon, as he goes well in the mud. * * * Th e Leightou—Catalina gelding, Paleta, i s back to form again. He came very fast over the last furlong in the Plying Handicap to cut the Stratford-own'ed gelding Hopwood out near thu post. Now (hat

Paleta. is well again he should be hard to heat from now on.
