Late Racing.

The Hawke's Bay Jockey Club spring meeting took place on Saturday. There was some good racing. The speculation on the machine was fairly easy, £17,287 being handled.

In the opening event Naupata was looked upon' as a shot bird, and the good thing duly eventuated in the Tomoana Hack Handicap. W. Adams l , the rider of Gladfire, was badly injured and was taken to the hospital l .

Mr T. H. Lowry won his first Hawke's Bay Guineas with Desert Gold, nicely handled by the Auckland lightweight J. O'Shea. A distinct compliment was paid' to the Auckland horsemen present, each having a mount in the classical event.

Marco Bello made amends for the previous week's disappointment by scoring in the Spring Handicap. Red Book and Sir Alba filled th© places.

The Hon. J. C. Ormond's Hyettus smothered his field in the Hastings Stakes, silencing the other fifteen very effectually. Needless to say, the win was very popular.

The casualties at the Hawke's Bay meeting were very few. Gladfire, Baronus, Negative and Conziska fell, W. Adams being badly injured from the former. R. Deely, with his proverbial good luck, escaped scathless on Lowziisiia.

Ngatiwerewsre (Ngatitoa PuwereF 6^- a th;ree y«ar o'd, is back again in E. Pope's stable. The gliding has grown and thickened since last s e en out m public.

Maui Nina tteat a couple of companions! pointless on Tuesday morning, and if he keeps as at present should not be long off the winning

. Another horse that is doing well is Goldsize. He has been on the easy list since Avondale, which seems to have benefited the Gluten gelding.

Hadj accounted for Brookfield on Tuesday in a half-mile flutter on the grass in very fair time.

Dr. Beverley's Spalpeen gelding, Nicomar, was associated with Lion dOr in a half-mile sprint. The pair were running neck and neck when they reached 1 the post.

Blueform rattled off a few furlongs l at top, easily beating two companions. The son of Orange and Blue is at the top of his form.

Glittering Sands, who ran second at Avondale, is also very fit, and will assist at the Waikato Hunt meeting.

On Tuesday Castalia., the winner of the Avondiale Cup, took charge of the boy, >aud cleared round the centre of the course, but no accident happened.

Guiding Way, with engagements at the Waikato Hunt Meeting, put up a nice showing on Tuesday over seven furlongs, easily holding a stable companion.

Massman is considered very badly treated at the Waikato Hunt Meeting, giving away weight to several winners, including his stablemate, Genevieve. The gelding, is for sale.

Manukau is striding along nicely on the tracks. The son of Wairiki has so far not handed l back an valent to his oats bill. Mr. Bradley may take a change.

Orespin, the big Spalpeen gelding, jumped a round of the big schooling hurdles l on Saturday morning, fencing well.

Glutanus, in Kass Heaton's care, is very well at present, running a nice six furlongs on Tuesday on the grass that sent up his stock for thecoming Spring events.
