NOTES ON TFE RACING. Tho day was perfect, but the course wn. very heavy. The Silverstream Handicap vra a great raco between half a dozen. Tumi™ into the Etraijht Marching- Order, Chreronia Bengeroop, Carmine, Barley Rigs, and Clca: Sweop were a!! bard at it, and a keen strug gle up the straight mw Clean Sweep sta; 01. best, and he won all out by half a length Carmine raced like a gelding that will wii soon, and so did Mettle- Drift, who got a ver bad passage, but Bcngeroop ran like on© tha is going cIT. Burrar.gonc set cut to make a risnawa; rac? of the Provincial Handicap. Jnst nftc passin™ the half mile post Kilkee and Eleu went after the leader, while the ot'ncr3 clo.«c< up. was still <r"ing on three fur loners from the hex. but Ki'fcre and Eleu: wore beaten. nr.d All Rer.dy. lioral St.tr, nr.; M°ie=> went affor th> leader. In the this trio were looked to-;?thrv. and it w:is j great straggle to thp post.

Gav'irnt was »i wars well ph'.-od, while Hvlans wr.s loop much too far onto: it. In fact, when CaT li-ht was Icadittsr w'fh four furlonsrs to sc rTylans was ov-r fifty yards behind hire From there on Kylans raced round the out 6ide of th>? field," and ws-» onlv beaten b inche?. Flynn. on All Talk, rode a nic rac?. ITe was al-vavs well nla.""d in beliini the leaders, yet he was well beaten fiyo fui long* from home, ar.d o'tVer I'." _ n no nearly so good r.s hi* admirers credited hir with being, or else the heavy going did no suit. him. Jack Symons did not jump we! towards th" end of the r;ce, and perlyip found th? distance too much for him, whi! Snmiol failed to jump a fer.ee even rcawn ablv well, and will roqui'c a lot cf schoakn to become a proficient jumper. The Waironcoa Handicap was made ver oasv for the Southland trained mare Eigli Be'la, a? she got out on a. fly and wo 1 pulling up bv 6ix length?. Killowen am P.vjama were the last to Wve, and of th two Pvjama did best, for he ran into thiri place. Ililbrogan ran a very sour hurs< and Murihiku did not appear to be abl to handle the going, but nothing had chance of boating the winner after .h start 6ha got. Diavolo sot off at a great pace wh-u th order to 70 was <nven in the Wingatr Steeplechase. He had n big lead from Gan Awa at tho end of four furlongs, but th®: ho ran off at the post and rails At th fnd of a mile Crib was in charge, with Gan Awa, Merry Lad, and San Scbcstian not fa away, and the rest tailed off. Gallopin strongly and taking his fences in his stridCrib even'uallv won cleverly from San h'c bastinn, with- Merry Lad a furlong away an' Black Sea the only other to finish. Not turnal and Gang Awa ran of? at the doubl nearly a mile from home, while Silveispir and Zarkoma toppled over throo fences fror home. Merry Lad liit several fcnocs ver hard when he was beaten, but failed to dif lodge Hagerty. Nothing had a chance c beating Crib and San Sebastian with a mil to go. The 6tftrt for the Janefield Handicap wn not good. Orange Bitters, Kil'injey, Silen King, Vice-Rerral, and Lady Pallaa were a 1 well p'need with three furlongs lo go, whil Miss Camouflage had been s-nt right bnct Silent King eventually scrambled home nmall mar-tin in front of Miss Camouflage who was the most unfortunato horse in th lace, her rider being in no way to blam< Chcckmate got nway very badly, and wa nr-ver seen. C. Emerson, the rider of Silen King, was fined £5 by th© starter for di; obedjjnoe at the start. The lot that started for the Second Hac' Steeplechase were far from good. Glen is! is a perfect fencer, but he is slow an will always ho beaten bv anything tha can complete the course that lias any pr< tensions to pace. Luigi cannot stay, arc of tho lot Golden Rupe*, who was run oi bv Village at the second fence of the at an double, is the only one likely to win deccnt claaa race. St. Oletus, tho winneJ was lamo ns he trotted back to the scales. Golden King just lasted long enough t win the Invermay Welter Handicap i'ror Primum, but with a fair run all the wa he would have run a poor third to Primur and Hot Air, who both got knocked end days during the race. a.nd were running las three and a half furlongs from tho winnin; post.

CANTERBURY PARK T.C.'S WINTER MEETING. After tho very boisterous weather experienced during tie pact week the Canterbury Park Trotting Club was distinctly fortunate in bein-r favoured with a fino day for tho opening of its Winter Meeting, which took place at Soekburn yesterday. There was a noticeable touch of winter in the air, but the almcet entire absence of wind made matters fairly comfortable for spectators. On acoount of the recent heavy rains the going was very dead, and nothing approaching re- ' cord time was accomplished in any of tho races. Huge crowds patronised the special trams running to the course, and the countryside was well represented. He principal event, the Paparoa Handicap, was in many trays a disappointing race, for Stcckado and Gleaming cleared out from the field at the start and had the race to themselves, the former scoring a popular win. The finish, of tho Railway Handicap was remarkably close. Four horses finished almost in line, and only the judge waa in a position to say what had won. Though only two favourites won during the afternoon, speculation was very brisk, iae totalisator investments amounting to £38,96}. 10s, as against £25,508 on the corresponding day last year, an increase of £18,453 10s. Following are details of the racing;— FIRST AMATEUR HANDICAP (in harness), of 100 flora, and bracelot valued at 15 eova; second 20, third 10. For nnhoppled trotters only. Amateur drivers. l|m. 8. R.
