WELLINGTON RACING CLUB’S WINTER MEETING. PAISANO WINS THE WINTER HURDLES. BOLLIN THE PARLIAMENTARY HANDICAP. The Wellington Racing Club inaugurated the winter meeting of the Club at Trentham on Saturday in the presence of a large attendance. The day itself was fine, but the tracks, consequent upon the heavy rain of the previous couple of days, were very heavy. Amongst those present was the Governor, Lord Islington and staff, and they made their acquaintance with racing in New Zealand. The racing was by no means uninteresting, and was not marred in any way by accident, there being only one fall during the afternoon, and that had no serious consequences. The most remarkable feature of the racing was the complete rout of the local horses, the visitors making a clean sweep of everything. Some of the finishes Were very close, Mr. W. H. Hartgill, the judge, having one or two near things to decide. Mr. C. O’Connor was in his customary good form at the starting barrier. the dispatches being remarkably even all through. Betting was fairly brisk both at the totalisator and with the bookmakers. The sum of £11,051 was handled at the windows, as against £9904 on the corresponding day last year. Thirty-one bookmakers were operating, twelve inside and nineteen out, their fees amounting to £445 10s. Results:— STEWARDS' HANDICAP. Seven furlongs. 1 — R. E. Price’s b c Electrakoff, by Menschikoff—Electra, 3yrs, 9.12 (C. Jenkins) 1 5 —W. H. Rooney’s br g Mundic, 4yrs, 10.9 (W. Kirk) 2 B—W.8 —W. J. Barleyman’s b m Miss Advance, syrs, 9.3 (B.

Coming on at his ease he ran home the easiest of winners by three lengths from Mundic, who came fast on the rails, and beat Miss Advance by a length. Marathon was a close fourth, followed by Iney. Time, Imin 38 2-ssec. MIRAMAR HANDICAP. Seven furlongs. 7 — J.

They had not gone far before Penza took up the running and the Finland mare piloted the field- into the straight. At the distance a victory for her was loudly announced, but Multiple then joined issue, and after an exciting finish the top weight won by a head. Elfish, finishing fast, was two lengths off third, and then came Merrie Emerald, Ukraine, Mallet and St. Lumsden. Time, Imin 89sec. PENINSULA HURDLE HANDICAP. One mile and three-quarters. 1— J.

At the mile post Millenial went to the front, but it was only on sufferance, for White Cockade, jumping faultlessly, soon passed him again, and leading into the straight he then came away, winning in very hollow fashion by five lengths from. Gaelic. Arclight was two lengths off third, the next in order being Maharanui. Time, 3min 35 2-ssec. PARLIAMENTARY HANDICAP. One mile. Hon. J. D.

After going a furlong Merrie Zealand was two lengths ahead of St. Felix, Penates, Bollin and Moloch, with Ngapuka. Gold Battery and California at the tail of the hunt. As the field swept round the bend the Merrie England gelding was still making play with Bollin as his nearest attendant, while California made a forward move on the outside. With heads straightened for home Bollin closed up on the leader, and a ding dong setto took place all the way to the judge’s box Mr. Hartgill giving the verdict to the Hon J. D. Ormond’s gelding by a head. Sir Frisco, on whom Hatch rode a poor finish, was a bare length off third. Then came California, four lengths off. fourth, followed by Tiptoe, Rose Noble and North-East.

Tauira immediately started to break up the field, cutting out the pace half a dozen lengths in front of Paisano, who was followed by Mahuta and Lionheart. At tne jump opposite the members’ stand Mahuta toppled over, and at the top turn Paisano went up to the leader, n,.oniieari and Paritutu being next, but a good way back. Down the back stretch Paisano and Tauira cleared right away from the fieid, which was simply spreadeagled. Coming into th© straight full of running Paisano won very easily by two lengths from the favourite, with Partitutu half a dozen lengths further back.
