SECOND DAY.

(By Our Special.)

The above meeting was concluded yesterday in most, unfavourable weather;, tHe rain simply pouring down just prior 1 to the start of the first race, and during the afternoon there wer& «6me, particularly heavy showers, accompanied bythuiider and lightning; with dccasfotial shoft'spelTs of sunshine. Tbe attendance under the circumstances was vefjr gooil indeed, but still not so large as it would have been under ifetter •fweather ' dofoditioris. Tfid officials worked hard, got the Various events off well to time, and are to be congratulated on the excellence' of the management displayed, the secretary (Mr Esmond GoodbebeTe) especially being deserving of praise in this connection. The field* were again- ytfry. targ;4,. ahd the racing most interesting throughout;- Black , Reynard was made a warm favourite in

the opening event, the York Stakes, but the winner turned up in the. Jjiggejst put-, sider of' the ten starters^ viz.T* The stake) a son of The Officer, owned by Hon. *J. D. Ormond. The Stake won easily from Lass o' Gowrie, the favourite being amongst the unplaced' division. The winner, p»id the nice price of .£36 Is, and, needless to say, amongst the lucky ones wetf one or two r Celestials,. Ngataura, welt riflden by 'Jenkins, landfed tHe"Nijau Jn' good istyle from" sktejen^oehe* starters, and paid backers £& lls/" though he ,was first favourite. Maniopoto ran welt in this, and looked to be winning easily" until Ngataura came dn the scene. Cannie Chiel, was the most fancied in the Manchester Handicap, with Joe Chamberlain next in demand. ' The latter put in an irresistible run up the. straight, and Bettle"d\CQilyoy (who ran, a -gooclrace;) rather : easily, paying £i ss, with Armistice, who cantfe fast at the finish, half a length away third, and the 'favourite close up. There was some heavy thunder and some forked lightning while the horses were /waiting to' be despatched ill the Hurdle Race, and this mush ~ka.vd frightened Pushful, as he cleaved out from flag and. rf-evW *gave the ,ot}ierp a JooVinj paying £4 •Hs.%''AnVoutßider-.in,,'F|i ! vagity (a geldfng by Parkshot out of Frivolity) created a surprise in the Hack Hurdles, as he^ went to the front at the 'last hurdle, and* won 1 with ,a bit in hand from Bepulse, rewarding his backers with :tne**snb#tantial dividend of £14 Bs. There were ton starters; 'Rungarawa, who' won .the ""'first day, being ' scratched. There were eleven 'sorters in the ; Hack Welter, in, .'which' some. people backed Seagull because of it being an appropriate name for a horse in such weather. Seagull did not win, but her backers got a dividend off her all. tKe, same/ as" was bracketed with' the winner — Rapids. Hi was an interesting; race. Attratus came through his field at the finish of the Railway Welter as if they were standing.. still, and. got home easily from Jeanne d'Arc and" eleven other starters,- paying £9 3s. Fancy Work beat the .fifteen other/ starters, in the-. Hack Scurry —the concluding event— handily, arid paid' £5 168; whilst Apiti, who got second,.returned £8 15s to his backers.
