MABYBOBOUGH RACING CLUB’S AUTUMN MEETING. • .lx’ 1 -.; ’ LADY MEDALLIST WINS THE CUP. The autumn meeting of the Marlborough Racing Club was commenced on Wednesday on the Riverlands racecourse. The weather was dull, with rain in the hills, but it held off throughout the afternoon. There was a considerable attendance, most of the spectators being visitors from Wellington and elsewhere. Much praise must be 1 given to Mr. Griffiths, the secretary, and his committee for their hospitality to visitors and the general good management. Speculation was fairly brisk, the sum of £4586 being handed in at the totalisator windows—an increase of £313 on last year’s returns —while thriteen bookmakers were calling the odds. These must have had a bad day, and after Mon Ami’s victory one man was unable to settle, being promptly hauled before the stewards. The racing proved somewhat unattractive, no exciting finishes being seen. Results were:— HACK HURDLES of 60sovs. One mile and a-half 3 — R. Keeper’s Glen, by Glenogle—Gazelle, 9.9 (Pritchard) 1 4— A. G. Miskin’s Circus Girl, 9.0 (Cotton) 2 I—J. Delaney’s Pearl Reef, 11.1 (McConnon) 3 Also started: Gaelic 9.9. Glen and Circus Girl at once went out in the lead and they practically had the race to themselves. Glen was always having a little the best of the argument and stalling off Circus Girl he won by a length. Pearl Reef was several lengths away third. Time 2m 495. MAIDEN HACK RACE of 50sovs. Five furlongs. I—F. Carmont’s Celebrity, by Renown —St. Cecelia, 8.11 (C. Jenkins) 1 B—F. Bowden’s Sunrose, 8.7 (F. Coleman) 2 3— C. Pritchard’s Lares, 8.10 (T.

The big field was sent away to a fair start, but Celebrity was soon out in front and from this out the issue was never in doubt as he won very easily from Sunrose with Lares a fair third. Time Im 4s.
