Fine weather tempered by a c ° ol hrtcte for the of the Stratford Racing Clubs annual meetina “the gate” being slightly less •than for the second day last year. With the totalisator investments showing increase of £785 for the meeting■ ge has every reason to congratulate itself on the financial success achieved. Afibther enjoyable day’s racing . was provided; Fields with two ,««“Paons were of good two or three-dividend size, rangii from six to eight starters, and though there were some unruly horses to >. deal with Mr. A. Morse generally sent them away well in line. The finishes "< usually, were " excitingly close. The Malone Memorial handicap attracted a field of six, including Richfield ■nd Paganelli. the winners 01 the two open rides yesterday, the latter Being n£de favourite. Refresher took’the lead from the Start to win by a lengffi and a-half from .New . horse,, Gibraltar, with Richfield a similar distance further back. The Ngaere Handicap was , c ° l \ testC pJlx a field of three, but it a ■ finish, Green Linnet the outsider of the trio, winning by a head from Glen Vane. The Stratford Hack Plate provided one . of the best fields of the day, ten starters, and one of the finest races Bugte CaU coming with a great burst over the final stages to win from Valpai and Lady After the running of the Stratford Hack Plate Mr. D. J. Matone, ’ of tile club, congratulated Mr. Wenzl Sohjfium on the splendid performance of his horse, which had rim « sterling race to gain a elear-cut win. He was very pleased that the trophy had been won by a visitor, and particularly a visitor !h? calibre of Mr. Scholium, who had rendered great service to the, sport, being one of the owners who had stayed in the .game and who tool S a terest in keeping the sport going, we also congratulated the tramer on the excellent condition in which he had turned the horse out, and the jockey for the capable manner in which he rode. Mr. ’Malone thanked .all the owners and trainers for their liberal I’ftronage and the public for having attended so generously. It was to those factors that the club owed the success it had achieved, which was', he considered, an endorsement of the progressive policy adopted by the committee. As a result they hoped next year to be in the happy posi- ' tion of either giving the. same stakes- as this year or increasing them; He calle ' on Mrs.'Malone to present the trophy, ' a cabinet of cutlery.. ■ Mr, Scholium said he loved the spoit and would, just as. soon win. a trophy a? “all . the -money on the Machine. rie congratulated the jockey on the able way he rode to instructions. Five of yesterday’s winners scored winning brackets at New Plymouth, while three improved on minor placmgs the first day. Even with the form disclosed at the recent , meetings to guide ' them the public, though , seldom far astray, sent out only two winning favourites, and those in ; the last two races. Honours were equally divided between local and visiting trainers, three races , going to Waikato, and one to Wanganui, whilst four, including the two principal open races, remained in Taranaki. Har wera took two .and New Plymouth and

Waifara one each. . Despite the fact that two of the events •were contested by one-dividend fields, the Makuri Hurdles- Handicap >by four horses arid' the Ngaere Handicap (the principal event) by three horses, the totalisator investments kept up remarkably wcll. there being a decline, of only £1044 IQs on the day, which with the increase of £lB3O on the first day made a net increase at the meeting of £785 10s. The total for the meeting was £30,174,. as’ compared with £29,388 10s for the ! preyloii s•< year. - The totalisator staff yes-. ter day handled 10s, as compared ■ with £14,430 on the second day test year. On the six. races in which' it operated, three of them three-dividend and three two-dividend races, the place machine /handled £7468 10s, or nearly double that< Ibf the straightout machine, which . handled £3BOl. ’ „ , i The stipendiary steward (Mr, J. Brad-; ley) had' a busy time, the judicial cpm■mittee, Messrs. D. J. Malone, chairman, A. Coleman and J. C. Robins, being called together on three occasions. As the ■outcome three jockeys were suspended, iR. ! Drinkwater and E. Manson for 14 days and A. McLeod for a month. AU the suspensions arose out of alleged crowding. The first inquiry was subsequent to the Malone Memorial, when A. McLeod, rider of 'Refresher, the winner, was severely cautioned for crowding f Paganelli when leaving the straight. 1 After the Toko Highweight, as the .result of alleged interference by Orby’s Choice and Lucky Alice with Tent Call, the last-named horse, being nearly •knocked over on to the rails, E. Manson 'and R. Drinkwater, the respective riders of Orby’s Choice and Lucky Alice, were Suspended for 14 days. After the County Hack, the test race on the programme, A- McLeod, the richer of Spark-Ting-'Morn/was again before the committee on. a charge of interfering with 'Hampden along the back. He was susperided for a month. . . During the running of the Makun 'Hurdle Handicap the New Plymouth K;e Manly received a broken fetlock was destroyed. te Stratford Municipal Band under ductor H. McCaskeU again’ rendered an enjdyable programme of music .
