AODINCTON TROTS.

CONCLUDING DAT. The Metropolitan Trotting Club had another fine day for the conclusion of its Easter meeting. The conditions overhead were almost ideal. as there "as no wind. The rain of the previous night, made the track somewhat heavy near the rails, where most water had been put on by the caretaker, but further out it afforded good going, which greatly improved as the day progressed. This was evidenced by the fust times recorded in the chief twomile harness event. Jl must be admitted that the track did not look good t • the eye. but that it afforded great going for the horses was early apparent. The riders and drivers asserted that it had seldom been better, and they are the best judges. The club’s starter, Mr AY. Norman, s°t through his two days’ work in apital style. He kept closer watch on the flag that indicated the dosing oi the totalisator, with the result that immediately “all clear' was signalled there was no delay in the dispatch of! the race. 'I he racing was interesting throughout. but the finishes were not quite so exciting as many on the opening day. The class of the competitors was quite up to the standard usually found racing on the course, and a pleasing feature w as the success of several of the I younger brigade and those likely to play an important part in the best races in a few seasons. A word of praise is due to the club’s bandioapper. .Mr H Brinkman, who by his judgment succeeded in bringing the large fields together, and thus pro rided sonic splendid contests. The meeting passed off without, anv 1 itch during the two days, all the minor details working along on smooth I lines, indicating care and ability by the veteran secretary Mr A. I. "Rattray, and his efficient staff The whole nineteen acceptors started for the mile and live furlongs trotters' race, and the American importation. Norris, who had won at Timaru at the end of last month, was made i good favourite. Although the favourite was early prominent, he broke and lost his place. Eater he <rot into a good position again, hut failed to stay, and finished a long wav hack. Tire race proved interesting all th- j vay. and ended in a close finish j between two outsiders. Bundaberg and Marvolo. the former just winning. The winner is a rare good trotter hr Bon Homme. He can go fast and star as well A good deal of his racing has been done on the West Const, j where, despite the slow tracks he has j registered some smart performance-:. * fie is notv trained at headquarters* by

I. Rhodes, who drove him to victory. Marvolo is a badly gaited mare, but she can go well under certain conditions, and they were favourable to her gait on this occasion. Slie frequently looks as though she would go to a break, but recovers just in time. In the race she broke just at the winning post, and I think the mistake cost her the race. Inangoutu is trotting more steadily with age. and she finished well. Merry Peter was not seen until the concluding stages, when he came along in rare i style. Sir Wildmoor. who was a good second favourite, trotted a consistent race. Bonette. after a, good beginning, faded out of the rare before half rf the journey was over. Two Bells has returned to the trotting gait again, and it is to be hoped will continue with the free legged horses. St Quentin showed a lot of speed in the preliminary, but not in the race. Wandelligong was out in front most of the way, hut the big Australian-bred trotter cannot stay. A large field contested the mile saddle event, and it was a better contest than is usually seen in such races. Glen Mavis, who was ridden by R. G. Reed, got into a good position going down the back, and came home over the last furlong as well as most of the others, retaining her lead. The winner is a speedy mare, especially in saddle, and is held on lease by -Mr J. Smith, who has come back into the sport after being in retirement for some time. Glen Mavis was bred in Oamaru, and is by Harold Dillon—Rose Elect. Lens showed a great burst of speed entering the back stretch, and went to the front. He dropped back again, only to make, a final effort before the winning port was reached, and thereby got second money. Salamander came out and tried to overhaul the leaders in the straight, but could only get third. Logan Queen and Childwood wore v. ell supported, but this bracketed pair were never prominent Downcast raced badly and was never prominent. "Warning Chimes was well in front for almost half the distance, but he cannot stay. Imperial Fan was favourite hut she did not stay, after being with the front crowd nearly all the way. There was a firm field for racing purposes for the chief two mile harness race of the day, nine going to the post. The Aucklander. Oruarangi, was made a little better favourite than Tatsy Dillon, the public evidently recognising that both had had had luck in running on the first day. For some unaccountable reason Yilo. who won on the first day. was poorly supported.

She raced much better than on the first day, as with a round to go, when Oruarangi made a forward movement. M’Dermott let the Waimate mare out and she responded in brilliant style. The race provided a poor finish, after an interesting contest up till a quarter ol : a mile from home. Yilo improver! on her first day’s effort-, although the track did not look to good. The Waimate mare must be considered one of the best in commission and it is pleasing to record (he times registered by her and Tatsy Dillon. whose presence iri the next New Zealand Trotting Cup will be welcome. As on the first day. Tatsy Dillon finished second, accomplishing another brilliant and worthy performance. She is a rare little marc and most popular with the public. A word of praise is due to the owners of each horse. Tliev are two fine sportsmen and they train their own

horses. The two mares have done their preparations together and in the races have provided keen contests for the public. Paul Default, after leading the field in the early port, fell back somewhat, but. this now solid little pacer came on again at the end in good style. Oruarangi, as on the first day, lost a good deal of ground at the start, and t-his nut him at a great disadvantage. He made a forward movement with a round to go. hut did not get 100 clear a passage, being finally beaten rather easily. Gold Girl paced a fair race, but the company was a trifle too select for her. Comedy Chief, ns on the first day, di<l not stay at all well. Goldstream failed to keep to his gait and horses in liis class should not break. Agathbs, like Gold Girl, found the *pocd too fast, although he began well, and was with the leaders early. Vice-Admiral, although he has been working well, did not race up to expectations. The two Waimate horses quite dominated the position as far as the chief two mile harness events were concerned.

I here was large field for the Hals well Handicap, of a mile and a quarter, in harness, and Peter King sias made favourite. He raced very badly and was never dangerous. I he race did not provide a good cento's!. as through several horses failing to begin right- the field was strung out early and afterwards some who had been in the front division dropped suddenly out. Lady Jopn eventually won rather easily and showed that over a short course at least she is a brilliant mare. Since racing at Timaru she has not done a great deal of work and this may have accounted for her failing to stay out two miles on the first day. Lady Joan is a brilliant young pacer, who is likely to be racing in the very best company next season. She is by Logan Pointer from Belette. and already she has n couple of victories to her credit, including the Gore Trotting Cnp. Lady Joan was capably handled by her trainer-owner. Another great!.' improved pacer in Prince Lyons finished second, and he too will be racing in the most select company in the near future. Embracer looks like coming hark to his three vear-old form, as on the first day h«- put up a fine performance after getting into a lor of trouble, and in yesterday’s rao> be «-a- going well a quarter of a mile from home, when ho broke Me caught up again quickly and finished well. Wild Thyme paced a. good rac-e an--j was going fast at the end. Lady Wildwood paced more steadily than T expected and was well out m front until about a quarter of a mile from home. The Southland mare Marvelle did not ! look fit to race and was never prominent. Bigamist went fast for three-quar-ters of a mile and then stopped. Florence la Badie paced a wav :n front and stayed on further than I expected. Indra was finishing fast but was never prominent in the early stages. Cammie looks like coming back to f form.

The six acceptors smarted for the Champion Stakes, the first classic event in the province, and they were supported as might have been expected. Betrayer being favourite, with Great Hope and .Latona next best backed, the two outsiders being Proud Logan and Becky Logan. Those who watch horses take their preliminaries, and several of the host trainers are keen watchers, asserted that the favourite was not doing his work at all right, and that he would be beaten. One well known trainer, just prior to the start, argued that the Brent Locanda gelding was sure to mix at the start and lose her chance. This was what happened, as after two false starts, in both oi which Betrayer failed to go off right, the actual dispatch saw him mixing his gait for nearly a furlong, and this naturally caused him to lose a lot of ground. Once lie struck his gait properly he raced up to In’s field, but the effort settled his chance of success. T would like to have seen Betrayer go off right at the start, so that he and Great Hope could have had a go on equal terms, but there will he another chance of their meeting in the New Zealand Derby, at the New Brighton Club’s meeting next month. Great: Hope won in convincing fashion. He was very well mannered at the start, and paced a fine race throughout. His stamina was never questioned, as he was going easily at the end. and he looked as. though he could have seen out a two-mile race with ease. Great Hope was bred by Mr It. M Millan, of Santa Rosa Farm. Halswell, and is by Great Audubon from Sadie Dillon, by Harold Dillon from Miss Youngle.v. The Halswell studmaster was highly gratified with the result of the race, as well he might be. Not only did he import the colt's sire. Great Audubon, but the sire and dam of Sadie Dillon as well. Mr M’Milla i does not o fieri race horses nowadays, hut he educated and trained Great Hope, with whom he won the Great Northern Derby last Christmas, subsequently disposing of him for a substantial figure to Air J. JR. Corrigan, his present owner. Latona. who finished second, met with an accident some little time ago, ; nd this may have upset Mr Nicoll’s brilliant filly for some time for racing purposes. Certainly she did not show the great brilliancy that 1 expected ol ; her in the race. Possibly at the next meeting, in the New Zealand Derby, she may show' improvement. She is a well grown filly, by f>ogan Pointer, from that good mare Granella. Pineval’e was repotted to be a greatly improved I. pacer, .and possibly there was some justification for the statement, but, whilst be showed pace, lie did not stay too convincingly. Becky Logan did not look quite so forward as some of the others in the field, and at the cud of a mile she was beaten. She is a good-looking filly by Logan Pointer from Miss Becky. Proud Logan is not yet class enough, but be is a useful sort, who should improve. The race provided a lot of interest, and was well supported financially by the public, the investments being well up to the .day’s race average. The sectional times of the rac© were, as follows : Quarter 35sec. half-mile lmiu 9 1 ogee. mile 2min 19 2-ssee. mile and a quarter 2min 53 2-osee, mile and a half 3min 29 1-osec, mile aijd five furlongs 3min 4osee. All started far the two mile saddle race and the Southern-owned pacer, Adair, was made favourite. He paced a. good race and considerably improved bis handicapped time but could only finish third. The race was not an interesting one at the end. though it was keenly contested most of the -way. but the fast time was the cause of several failings to be seen prominently. Polly Dillon was ridden by that consummate artist. F. E. -Tones, and was in front the whole way. winning comfortably. She L owned by Air T. G. Fox. who also raced her dam, Rose Gauntlet. Polly Dillon has improved a good deal during the last few months. She started off by getting placed a number of times and on the Blenheim and Nelson circuit early last month she raced consistently. She is only a small mare, but she lias great stamina and i in- is an asset in her favour. The sm cess of Mr T. G. Fox, although Dolly Dillon was an outsider, was immensely popular. A terry Soul paced a rare good race. Like the winner, he is a great stayer and he was somewhat unlucky in having to improve his time without winning. Adair is now on a mark from which it will be hard to win. The Dunedin owned pacer went a fine race and 1 1 is effort was deserving of a better financial return. Kilmarnock cannot stav two miles in saddle. He. has plenty of speed but the distance found him out. Dandy Chimes showed a return to his best form in finishing fourth. Stormy was the disappointment of the race, as at no part of the journey did AT’Drrmott’s horse look like a winner. He has evidently not come on as was expected. All started for the two miles harness race for trotters and although the final part of the race saw the winner well discovered it was a capital contest between a number of the competitors. Tradesman was always bandy and in the final stages he drew away and won comforta hi v. horse by First Voyage and is trained by J. Bryce. Since be came to the Dominion be has put up .some fine races but bis latent effort is easily his best. Tradesman trots without much fear and has an easy and attractive action. Marietta, who raced better than lmr training work indicated, finished really well and deserved second position. She is not an attractive trotter but she stays well and rovers the ground at n faster speed than is apparent. Gay "Wilkes trotted well and went far more .steadily than usual. Merrv Bingen, who was coupled with Gay Wilkes, trotted really well. It was one of the h©si performance? 1 have seen accomplished by t-he Dunedinowned horse. Peter Timmerman trotted well for a mile and a half. Harold Child did not show- such good form as on the first day. Peter Jackson, who was again solidly hacked, cota a poor showing and AY L Price’s horse is usually seen to better advantage in saddle events. Paul Huon went a very poor race and a. lot below liis training form. The public sorted out Onyx as the probable winner of the 2min 48sec mile and a quarter event but the best, she could do was fo get third, after being in i he lead nearly the whole way. I From a time test the race was a poor one. as the winner went three seconds dwpf than his handicapped time. Emperor, who won convincingly, al-

though by a narrow margin, is a brilliant pacer and when at his best he can stay two miles. Me had a bad fall, some time* ago and this seemed to cause him to race much below his best form. On the first day of the meeting he finished fourth over a mile and gave indications of a return to his best. Isocaudn .Dillon has quickly come back after his short spell. He is not yet ready for two miles but in. sprintevents he will he dangerous. Comedy Chief, who took part on both days in the two mile event , looks better suited to a shorter course. Oruarangi's previous racing left him without tiie dash which was necessary for success in the shorter race. Cuyneiner did not race at all well. Hen Lomond paced a good race for nearly a mile. Marie Tempest did not get going well enough in the early part to have any chance. Jlelli'ashion has evidently trained off somewhat or else his racing over long .journeys has partly retarded his speed, ns bo paced indifferently.
