The weather yesterday was a trifle worso than that of. Thursday, light rain falling for houis. This mado matters generally very unpleasant. Tho attendance was quito an good as on Cup day, but the spirit of speculation was less rife, and as a result less money wont through tho machines. Tho management, tried to get tho events off to time, and though they did vastly better than on the first day, they got behind, the vagaries of Quickttop and Catamount causing tedious delays. Tbo starling on the wholo was better than on Thursday, but still a good many complaints were made. Mr Mciklo, m all fairness, however, could not bo blamed for the two nags named not getting away well. In fact, very fow starters would have shown the patience ho did with thorn. Tho first numbers up were thoso for the County Plato, for which set on had cried content. Boad Metal wont out favourite but found tho going too heavy, and was beaten by tho middle weights, Pennine having choree from end to end. In tlio Hurdles Waitangi simply romped home, enjoying tbo slushy courso like a glutton. For the big handicap Alma, the Cup winner, wont out a red hot favourite, but was clean out of it, La Boso running m tho gameßb and most honest stylo, winning cleverly by a length. In tho Novel Lopear getting m light, camo at the right showed that the was quito m the winning vein by appropriating the Stowards Stakes, though Alcinous under punishment got very near to her. Collingwood boing tlio host brod ono among tho hacks got homo easily, und Alcinous had an cany und well deservod win m the Consolation, bringing tho meeting to a close It was unfortunate that the club •truck bad weather this autumn and their finances as a result do not show up well. £1566 was handlod at tlin totulisntor yesterday or £608 loss than tho second day last your.
