WINTER CARNIVAL.

RACING AT RICCARTON.

NATIONAL HURDLES DAY.

The Grand National meeting was continued at Riccarton to-day in greatly improved weather. There was a very large attendance, which included many visitors from all parts of the Dominion. Despite the .hard usage to which it was subjected on Tuesday the course turned out in nice order, for, though on the slow side the going was much firmer. The fields were quite up to the average strength, and the racing was interesting. Details are:— WOOLSTON HANDICAP, of 200 sovs; Apprentice riders. Six furlongs. 4 T. Sheenan's ch g Greekson, by San Francisco—Greek Maid, oyrs, 9.0 (A. Ellis) 1 2 T. Hussell's br g The Boss, aged, 9.0 (Pickens) 2 5 A. S. Jones's br m Bothnia, aged, 9.0 (Marshall) 3 1 F. S.

Nicoll's b m Necessity, 4yrs, 9.2 (Sunbeam) 0 Bothnia, Tortrix and Gossard formed the leading division at the end of a furlong, with Necessity a long way back. Once into the course proper, Greekson joined the leaders, and a little further on took charge. Stalling off a strong challenge by The Boss, <ircekson won all out by a bare length. At a slightly bigger gap came Bothnia, just clear of Tortrix. Time: lmin 19$ sec. HUNT CLUB CUP, of 200 sovs. About two miies and a-half. 1 H.

When the stand double was leached Golden Grape and Leaflet were in .rharge. Here Dunmure fell and Leaflet lost ground. Golden Grape had established a useful lead at Cutts's, Leaflet and Lawsuit heading the others. Once into the back straight Bill Terry and Lawsuit improved their positions, and at the Kennels double Lawsuit was showing the way to Bill Terry. The pair race round the top turn almost on terms, and rose at the last fence on terms. but Lawsuit came down. This enabled Bill Terry to score by a dozen lengths from Wieklow, who was two lengths in front of Golden Grape. Southerner finished a furlong back. Time; smlij 12sec.

Grant's b g Stone Ginger, aged, 9.7 (McMullan) 0 Golden Prince was followed over the Kennels double by Ormesby, Merry Lad, and Son Sebastian. Setting a strong pace, Golden Prince led past the stand from Oakleigh, Ormesby, and Merry Lad, with Stone Ginger toiling hopelessly in the rear. Once over Cutts's fence Oakleigh ran up "to Golden Prince, and, going strong, the pair opened upta useful lead from Ormesby and San Sebastian. The leading pair were practically on terms as the Kennels double was approached, the second of which saw Golden Prince part company with his rider. This left Oakleigh right out by himself, .and, jumping in great style, he won very easily by six lengths from Crib, who put in •s good run over the last six furlongs. Six lengths further away came San Sebastian, the only others to finish being Merry Lad, John Bunny, and Stone Ginger. Time, Bmin 2sec. SUMNER HANDICAP (fiat), of 200 sovs. One mile. 3 P. A.

Chaeronia was the first prominent, hut at the end of a furlong High Heels was showing the way to Walton. Racing round the top turn the positions were the same, the leading pair being followed by Carmine and Chaeronia.

Talk took up the early running from Deviation and Ladogeur. ■ Going round the top turn All Talk was making play from Deviation, after -whom came Ladogeur and Gnylight. Racing past the stand the order was: Deviation, All Talk, Fisher, Ladogeur, Gaylight, and Kohii. Before reaching the mile post All Talk fell and a little further on Gaylight also came to grief. When well into the back straight Deviation was just heading Ladogeur, with Fisher, Hylans, Jack Svnions and Kauri King in that order. A little further on Deviation gave place to Ladogeur, who made play round the top turn from Hylans. Jack Symons and Kauri King. Ladogeur was first into line for home, his immediate attendants being Hylans, Kauri King, Jack Symons and Fisher. Once •over the last obstacle. Hylans drew to the front, but he had to be ridden right out to defeat Jack Symons. who failed to get up by a neck. Four lengths back came Fisher, followed by Ladogeur, Kauri King and Thrace.
