OUTSIDERS TRIUMPH EGMONT winter meeting THE CONCLUDING DAY 2ROWN ABBEY'S STEEPLES (By “Kestrel”). Heavy raia falling incessantly and a keen edge on the wind made weather conditions at Hawera yesterday the reverse of pleasant for the concluding day of the Egmont Racing Club s winter meeting, and the attendance suffered though the ‘ ‘ gate showed an increase. Still, it was pleasant to note that in spite of the atrocious weather :he totalisator showed an increase of £971 over last year’s total of £sab-, the amount handled yesterday being £6533. The total for the meeting was thus £14,490 10s, compared with -it, 753 for the 1933 winter meeting, an increase of £2737. The track was naturally very heavy, pools of water lying about the la enclosure giving an indication as to the state of the course proper Ju spite of the success of two favourites in Pahu and Brown Abbey, it was essentially an outsiders day, for large dividends were the order of the day The “win” dividends in the seven events aggregated £9l 12 s a average of £l3 a race, and an invest ment of one pound on each starter o the day would have resulted m a profit of some £3O. In the second event the dividend on Headmistress toppe X score, while in the concluding event the return was just< ami Koval 9i Y^ U amends Z n elv” B after leading throughout, but h-m rider was nearlv caught napping when Bowden brought Manum un on t h c "aside near the winning post.

The conclnding event, timed to start at about 3.45 pm. did not start till 4.18 P-m. With rain falling and the light getting bad. this was certainly late enough to run a race. Pahu Makes Amends. Pahu, favourite again for the Manawapou Hurdles, made amends for his first-day defeat, by winning from the outsider Don Erma. Tea Garden led Lebanon, Count Lendroff and Chief Line over the first fence but at the second hurdle. Tea Garden slipped on landing and fell. Past the stands Count Lendroff and Chief Line were clear of Lebanon, Don Erma, Consent, Pahu and High Faintin’, but Don Erma moved up fast and piloted Consent, Count Lendroff, Chief Line and Pahu into the bark strebeh. Consent dropped back as they crossed the top, and Don Erma piloted Count Lendroff, Esteem, Pahu. Consent and High Faintin’ into the straight. Over the final stages Pahu challenged and won by half a length from Don Erma, who was two lengths in front of Esteem. Count Lendroff was fourth and then came High Faintin', Chief Line and Richfield. Headmistress Surprises. Bugle Call was the elect of backers in the Ngauiutu Hack, but Headmistress sprang a surprise, returning a dividend of over two score. Headmistress held the lead when they reached the back strefch, where Clembroney, Royal Dash, Gay Court, St. Clara, Bugle Call and Oriel was the order of the others. Oriel had moved up to second position behind Headmistress crossing the top, and St. Clara, Royal Dash and Bugle Call were nearest of the others, Tres Sec putting in an appearance as they straightened up. In the run to The judge, Headmistress held on to win by a neck from Tres Sec, who was a h<\d in front of Gay Court. Two lengths back came Gay Court, Bugle Call and St. Clara. Brown Abbey’s Steeplechase Only four w’ere saddled up for the Adamson Steeplechase, and Brown Abbey, installed a short-priced favourite, duly won. The race requires little description, for Brown Abbey went to the front racing for the first obstacle and was not afterwards headed. Past the stands the first time, Manuiri and Bon Aryan were several lengths behind, and over the final stages Manuiri was the only one to threaten serious danger, a couple of faulty jumps costing him whatever chance he had. Clearing the final obstacle, Manuiri was brought up on the inside running and got within half a length of Brown Abbey, with St. Ames thirty yards away, fifty yards ahead of Bon Aryan.

Outsider Wins Sprint I Orapai was preferred to British Columbia in the sprint, but Royal BenI gal handled the heavy going better j and returned a good dividend. Cullus got the best of the start but I The Tiger soon hit the front, showing the way to Cullus, Royal Bengal and Orapai. British Columbia followed The Tiger across the top and into the straight, where Royal Bengal, Cullus and Orapai were in close attendance British Columbia headed The Tiger when they straightened up but Royal Bengal then asserted himself, to come on and win by nearly a length from Orapai, who got up to beat British Columbia by a head. Cullus was fourth. Another Good Dividend. Backers suffered another reverse in the Shorts Hack Handicap, which was an even-betting race. Merry Way eventually won at double figures from Moneygran, with a bigger outsider in Hybiscus in the minor playing. Moneygran soon went into the lead from Grumpy', Pheon, Solomon, Princess Star and Merry W ay, and was two lengths clear across the top, where Pheon, Grumpy, Solomon, Merry Way, Princess Star" and Hybiscus followed in that order. Solomon followed Moneygran into the straight, with Princess Star and Pheon nearest of the others. Merry Way- swept down on the leaders at the half-distance and beat Moneygran by a good head, with Hybiscus a neck away. Cawbeen, Solomon, Arauline, Calcutta and Princess Star were next in order. One for Prince Colossus

Carfex was installed favourite lor the Davidson Handicap, but had to strike his colours to Prince Colossus. Going out of the straight Carfex, Lady Spy, Prince Colossus, Alloy and Protomint were making play, but passing the six furlongs, Protomint had run up into third berth behind Carfex and Lady Spy, with Prince Colossus, Alloy. Round Table and Chopin following. Carfex led across the top and into the straight from Protomint, Lady Spy, Prince Colossus and Chopin. Prince Colossus asserted himself in the run to the judge and won by two lengths from Carfex, who was a length in front of Protomint. Then fame Chopin and Lady Spy. Turn-up in the Last. ' Fate dealt investors another blow in the concluding event, the Borough Hack' Handicap, in which Chief Marionette and Sea Fox were best backed, but Matorni returned a dividend just under a score. Heavv rain was still falling when they were sent off, Matorni and Moatoa showing out from Chief Marionette, but Moatoa led Matorni, Lady Ronald, Chief Marionette and Argument down the back stretch. Moatoa was just ahead of Lady Ronald, Matornio, Argument, Chief Marionette and Silk Sox crossing the top, but Matorni dropped bawk and Moatoa was displaced on the home turn, Lady Ron“ld and Argument being first into the Straight from Silk Sox. Moatoa and Matorni. The last-named came again over the final stages to hold off • ea Fox bv half a length, with Lady Ronald two lengths away, a head in front of Sandlark. Then came Argument and Chief Marionette.
