DIL WORTH DEFEATS BRILLIANT WRACKLER

TROTTING CARNIVAL ENDS

Belle Axworthy At Her Best STANMOOR WINS ALL THE WAY THE Auckland Trotting Club’s summer carnival was brought to a conclusion today at Alexandra Park. The weather was fine but dull and the track in good order. Peterson and Linnett the Great fought out a fine finish in the opening event and the former just caught the prize in the last few strides. The Park Handicap was a closely-contested race throughout, and Belle Axworthy, who was at a nice price, scored narrowly from Great Parrish and Warspite, who was the unlucky horse of the contest. Wrackler was looked upon as the best of good tilings in the chief event, the President’s Handicap, but he did not have too clear a passage and succumbed narrowly to Dilworth, a moderately-backed second favourite Linkman was in third place and Native Prince fourth. Padlock, Free Advice and Kohara took no part in the race. Stanmoor was a solid favourite in the New Year Handicap, and after leading all the way won easily from EVolvn Loeancla who beat Klzear just as easily.

Akenehi £952, was favourite for tho Tiimakt Handicap, with l.jnnott the Great £762, and Tamahine £466 being next in order. Togo’s Promise went away Quickly from ISoma Bingen and vf.rhle. Star, and despite two breaks was showing the way past the stands from Marble fcjtar, I.innett the Great, Akenehi, Wild Nut, Kolmar and Petersen. Togo became unbalanced along the back. When the stand was reached again the order was Marble Star, Linnett the Great, Akenelii. Kolmar, Wild Nut, Sebisca and Peterson. Along the back Linnett the Great took charge, pursued by the favourite and Lady Fan. but crossing th«f top Akenehi broke up, and Peterson put in a good ran. Linnett the Great was first round the bend, closely followed by Peterson, Lady Fan and Wild Nut. In a great finish Peterson, who was at a fine price, beat Linnett the Great bv a head, with Akenehi four lengths hway third, followed closely by Sebisca. Then came Lady Fan, Anseline and Kolmar.
