There was a good attendance considering the strong counter attractions, and some capital sport was witnessed. Speculation was fair, Mr Abrahams putting the sum of £2301 through the machines during the day. Mr Bone I provided a capital luncheon and liquid refreshments were dispensed by Mr : Me Duff. Eight events were numbered on the 1 programme and hostilities began with £ the Maiden Hack Race, which fell to the lot of Mr Rathbone’s splendidly 1 bred Lingerer, who had no difficulty 1 in stalling off all opposition and win- i ning easily. Mangatera had little ' trouble in landing the Hurdles and 1 Welter and Ogle had somewhat of a lucky win in the Hack Handicap. c Nine faced the starter for the Waipawa Handicap, and after a good set to, the order past the man in the box was Menura, Kowhete and Daphne. £ Eight sported silk for the Nursery Handicap in which Liquify carried Mr F. Winifred’s colours to victory, t Mr A. Lord’s Assayer, who was quickly off the mark, settled Mon- 1 gonui’s pretensions in the November Handicap, Kowhete being third. £ Convoy, who was voted a good thing for the Hack Flying, was first past the post, followed by Jingle Consistent.
