♦ ; AUTUMN MEETING. \ CHALLENGE STAKES AND GREAT ; AUTUMN HANDICAP. ' c The Canterbury Jockey Club's Au- i tumn Meeting was concluded yesterday c in glorious weather. The showers during the night freshened everything up. 1 and laid the dust. The racing was again interesting, and as first favourites won consistently during the day, backers fared well. The attendance ' was again large, and the betting spirit- s ed, but owing to rather small fields be- t ing the order of the day the turnover on the totalisator did not read) the i total expected. The totalisator sta'i , were again slow with their balancing, and there were some weary intervals •' between the closing of the' machine and < the starting of flie races. Mr A. Wood's starting was again patchy. The ] totalisator handled £i6,977 .10s, as against £51,230 10s for tho second day 1 last .year, making a grand total of J £114,456 for the Meeting, as against , £118,394 10s last year. ! The ambulance arrangements, which j loft much to be desired on Monday, , were much improved yesterday. The , I ambulance van was driven on tue inside i grass track and followed each race, so ( that in case of an accident tho Ambu- j lance Brigade would "be right on the j spot to attend to any injured horsemen. , Manawaponga won tho_ Peerswick Hurdle Handicap with a rise of 191l>. I Vice-Regal ran • a fair race, and beat | the rest of the field just as easily as tho winner beat him. Jack Symons ran like a stale horse, and is evidently in need of a let-up. Comment shaped well for a maiden performer that has < done little schooling, until her rider lost an iron about a mil© from home. The rest never looked to have a chance i of winning at any time. All the ac- '. ceptors went to the post for the Au- ; tumn Nursery Handicap. Purple Spur ~ was sent out an odds-on favourite, with ■ Paloatrina a good second .fancy. Tho start was a good one. Humboldt at once took charge, and led on to the course proper with Tatau Tatau and Kilderg in close attendance, and Purple Spur, who .was running very green, and hanging out, on tho outside of the lastnamed, while Palestrina was last. Purple Spur took some straightening up, but once aware of what was required of him, took the lead, and won easily from Palestrina, who ran a good race. Tatau. Trttau did not show her best form, but Kilderg shaped promisingly. The surprise in tho. ialdhurst Welter was that Little River was not better supported than heiwas. He eventually won nicely. Counter-Attack had. nil the luck of the running, but promptly, stopped when challenged below the distance, and finished a long way back. Sunny' Loch, who was last for four furlongs, finished close behind the placed horses, he and Braid being together. After Egotism had won the Aldington Handicap in a manner that looked as if she must have been extremely hard to boat on the first day if she had not lost her. rider, the field paraded for the Great Autumn Handicap, Radial being tho only late scratching. Royal Stag and Royal Star both went a bit short when doing their- preliminaries, but the rest went past beautifully. The start was a good one, and Foo Chowi the'favourite, obtained a good, position on the rails in behind Malaga, who was making the running. Once in the straight il appeared certain that Foo Chow would win. Insurrection, whose saddle had slipped, threw out a strong challenge, but the favourite responded gamely and was going away from him at the finish. Royal Stag finished last, which was not his right form. Kilrush raced well enough to suggest that he • will soon strike form. Royal Star is ' not yet ready'. Malaga and Dutch Courage, though they ran game races, were The field for the Twentyninth Challenge Stakes was reducod to three, representing two stables, Gloaming and Pluto, carrying Mr G. D. Greenwood's colours and Sasanof those of Mr W. G. Stead. Gloaming looked seasoned, and Pluto stripped well. Sosanof's race in the Great Easter Handicap had cleaned him up wonderfully, yet he waar not so forward to look at e,s Gloaming. All three geldirigs went_down well in their preliminaries, and interest in the race was keen. Sasanof was left some lengths at the start. Gloaming loon took char,gej and won pulling up. Pluto beat Sasanof in the run home, which showed on Champagne Stakes running that Sdsanpf's race m the Great Easter had put.him back instead of forward, or he certainly would have'beaten the two-year-old. The" times for the various distances, were:—One furlong, 13 3-Sth sec: two, 26 2-sth sec; three, 87. 2-sth see; whole journey, lmin 27sec. This made Gloaming's twelfth consecutive win, and it is a pity that, while in such perfect condition, he will probably ba let down for the winter. The Templeton Handicap was a gift for Chimera. The meeting was brought to a close with the Final Handicap, for which there were only fire runners. Miss Mimic, who was somewhat neglected on the machine, showed that her Easter Handicap win was no mistake by winning very nicely from Twinkle, who might have troubled her if he had been more vigorously handled in tho early stages.
