TURF TOPICS. First Acre was a very hot favourite for the open sprint at Pahiatua yesterday. He did not begin .with, the leaders and was well back entering the straight. From there he put in a fine run, but was unable to beat Buoyant who ran a very solid race' near the front all the way. Bonideer showed her usual early burst of speed,. but faded out in the straight. Bright Knight ran a very good race and was a creditable third. Starboard Light was well backed,, but ha was ' not go enough. First'.Acre paid , a very short price for second place'. 'Buoyant was sold sent the this by Mr Eric Eiddiford to liis pre-owiier-trhiher during* the course of Manawatu summer' ineeting, and is his second win since, so he is a cheap purchase. Qpa was about /£6O ; better backed than Queen’s Choice for the Pahiatua Cup yesterday, Bright Day and Kukumai being close up in the betting. Kukumai lay in the rear -of the; held for nearly a mile, when he moved up, and over the last furlong he won decisively from Modern, who ran a creditable race.; Bright Day . was in the bunch till half a mile from home, ay lien 1m moved forward, but he had every chauco to do better than third. However, ho appears to be coming back to form. Tiega finished on well in fourth place, but Queen’s Choice was rather disappointing, although ho finished alongside Tiega. Opa was well placed all the way, but Avas soundly beaten at the finish. Ivilloera Avas in the lead for a mile, Avhen ho faded out.

11 small iron safe that ay as stolon •from the Day's Bay Pavilion during the night of January 5, was discovered yesterday in a creek in Stoke's Valley It had been blown open by explosive and the contents, which totalled over £7O, taken. The burglary, it will ibe remembered, was of a particularly daring type. Entry appears to have been gained from the rear of the. building, and the safe, which was kept in the office at the side of the public counter was lifted bodily and carried through a back door and round to the front, where it was loaded on to a motor Vehicle and driven away.
