SPRING MEETING. (From Our Special Reporter.)

The Hon. J. D. Ormond Sent five horses over, and was successful in winning the Maiden with Hydrus, the Electric Hack with •Hvgeia, and secured a second in tho Tutaenui Hack Welter with Hylatus, who was just beaten by half a length. The Taranaki-owned gelding, Fortify, won the Marton Handicap nicely, though it looked as if Imarose , would have troubledhim had he got away better. Mr Wire Tokena’s fine-looking Bonifonn mare. Mia Cara, annexed the Railway Handicap in a very hollow fashion. There were several spills in the jumping events, but none of the riders were injured. Mr Arthur Way, the popular secretary, carried out his duties in his usual up-to-date style, and the success of the meeting was in a largo measure due to his and the various other officials’ good work.
