HAWKE’S BAY RACES.

(Special to the “Star.”) HASTINGS, May 1. The Hawke’s Bay autumn meeting was concluded to-day in fine weather, with a rather chilly wind. A heavy shower overnight had had the result of easing the dust nuisance considerably. There was a large crowd present, attracted by the quality of the four contestants in the Gold Cup, and as the horses were paraded, the rails were lined. All four looked in great order. Glentruin and Rapine showing the most quality, but there was little amiss with Grand Knight or Reremoana. In the actual race Reremoana showed his undoubted superiority, for he beat his opponents pointless and pulled up easily the best, in condition. He was decorated by Miss Russell, and Mr G. F. Moore, his owner, received the Ormond Cup from Mr J. G. Colebourne, stating that it was the first racing trophy ever won by him. The opening event saw a bad accident at the fence, right in front of the stands. Maungarongo, an aged gelding by Demosthenes from Formosa, fell when in the lead, interfering badly with Little River and bringing down Strongholt. F. Jenkins, the rider of Maungarongo, broke his jaw. and as the horse lay on him and the field galloped over him he seemed lucky to escape with his life. Little River lost enough ground to say that the mishap cost him the race. KARAMU HURDLES HANDICAP, Of 150 sovs. One mile and a half. 2-—Toa Taua. 9.13 (A. H. Burt) 1 i s—Little River, 11.13 (A.
