Saxatilo was four lonpiis ;;v. ay third, with Pink Heather l'ouiih. In the Belvedere .Hack there was a small fio.d of four runners. Lady Black was an odds-on favourite. The favourite was last to move. Amber and White at once took up the 'running, wiih Bors.il in second berth. Round Jig tiie turn into the straight Borsil threw out a strong challenge, and sustaining the -effort tip the straight, prevailed by a, length,, with Lady Black a very poor third. The Mauntfnraki Handicap Trot was a runaway victory for Starboy, who took command after having traversed a few furlongs, displacing Tango in the lead. - Starboy, trotting very well, was never afterwards troubled, winning in the easiest manner, hy twenty lengths from Colleen Bawn, who was a similar distance in front of Pukio. The big race, tho Wairarapa County Cup, produced a field of four runners, •of wl'.ftm Rene was installed favotirite, with the other runners also well backed. Suratura was tho first to show out from a good start, and led from Rene, with Ladify several lonrfhs further back. Suratura piloted the field to the turn for home, where Lad fy came with a well sustained run, and passed tho post a winner by a length, with Suratura a ; length further back. A protest was ' entered against the winner for alleged crossing, and after a lengthy Fitting the stewards dismissed the eom- : plaint. Tho winner was ■•iddon by ■ tho Wairarapa apprentice, S. Bishop, who received an ovation on re turning to scale. I Tho Gladstone Hack Handicap provided a good race, and of a field of i nine runners, His Eminence was installed favourite. Waitomo got tho worst of the start, while Conziska and Sir Agnes jumped away well. Theso horses carried on the running until' well on the way, when Conziska retired beaten. Sir Agnes put a big break on tho field, and easily . holding his advantage to the post, won with ridiculous ease by three lengths. Tn a good set to for .second'place Otnkura defeated Waitomo by a head., • Blue Lake was installed a firm favourite, in the Railway Handicap, of six furlongs, the next in demand being Negative and Rene. The favourite made a run-away victory of the race, jumping out well and winning from end to end in tho hollowest fashion by two lengths. Rene defeated Negative for second place l>y three parts of a length', 1 Tho Taratahi Handicap Trot, of I ono mile, provided a good race. The ' winner, Moyasta, trotted well right I throughout tho race, winning very easily by a chain. The third horse i was threo lengths'away. 1 The concluding event, the Dash Hack Handicap, produced ,a very good field, tho public selecting Ainsdale as tho "goods."' The favourite '. had everv opportunity to score, but failed dismally. Tho start was the worst of tho day. Hush-a-bye and Ainsdale shot' out from tho barrier ' when the tapes rose, and led till well into the straight, where Hush-a-by* drew awav and won very easily by two lengths, with Rerehau a length off third. The tiring Ainsdalo was a poor fourth, and returned to the paddock lame. | AUCKLAND SUMMER MEETING. WARSTEP WINS THE CUP. DOWNHAM PREVAILS IN RAILWAY. (By Telegraph,—Press Association.)
