handicapper, Mr. George Morse, came w for many congratulations for the i excellence of his judgment. Mr. O'Con■or got his fields away in his best stjde, and the judge's (Mr. A. W. Budge) placing was not disputed, while his do- I
ciaions were given with promptness. The Military Band played a long and raried programme of musk. The sum of £0733 was passed through the totalisators, as against £5825 10s last year, when a "double-tote" was in use. The poor field in the Flying Handieip drew only jT.63 in totalisator investments, and caused a shrinkage in the turnover. Bookmakers' fees would more than make up the difference . The aecretary, Mr. Mussell Fleetwood, and hia assistants worked hard to make the meeting a success, and, despite the rati • splendid day's sport was served np for patrons. The following are details of the racing: —

(By "Moturoa.") Good acceptances have been received for to-day's races, and another good day's sport may be confidently expected. In the opening event, the Pukotori Hack Hurdles, Immolation who won at Wanganui, and Showman, who did not start yesterday, will jump their first hurdles at the meeting. Moriarty, who heads the list in the Grandstand Handicap, had not much to beat in the Fixing yesterday, bat moved in fine style, and looks in great heart.
A good field have accepted for the Wharepapa Haek Handicap. Crucineila shaped well in the Pukaka Haek Handicap on the first day, but struck a bnce of fair three-year-olds in Miss Vera and Lamsdorff. Inaha finished next to Crucineila, and subsequently surprised her connections by making no race of thi Hack Scurry.
Uhlando and Mahuta, who fought out the finish of the Cup, will meet again in the Paul Memorial Handicap, and Arc Light will al-o strengthen the field. Daisy Paul did not start in the First Welter Handicap, but has accepted lor the Second Welter, in which race she is set to carry Bst 101b. Climax, who ran second in the first-mentioned race, has gone up 61b in weight. IPearlie surprised most people by the way she ran in the Kaitake Hack Race, being in front until the distance was reached. She meets Mallet on 91b Iwttcr terms in the Kawau Hack Handicap today.
Golden Eagle did not »tart in the Firing on account of having got a clrll, and she may not be able to reproduce her best form in the Farewell Handicap to-day. Miss Vera and Dear Dolly have both won over the distance lat ■:/. The Final Hack Flutter contain- -u'ffieient material for a good race. Mii.;kerado, Chasemab, and Nicotine ran well yesterday.
The Auckland Metropolitan Oiiiniiittce cancelled the licences of Ben. Deeley and J. J. Conquest at a meeting held last night. Deeley won on Kareroa yesterday, and lias been up on over fifty winners tui? season. RACING IN ENGLAND. London, -March it. Lincolnshire Handicap—Kaffir Chief 1. Longcroft i, Snatch 3.
