(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) NAPIER, October 15. There wai a large attendance at the Napier Park Racing Club's Spring Meeting to-day. The racing was excellent throughout the day, and some of the finishes were exciting. The Park Stakes Handicap was won by the Hon. J. D.

The | stare for the Flying Handicap was not a good one, but this was caused by some of the jockeys not trying to bring their horses up. During the day the sum of £4511 was Cut through the machine.
