METROPOLITAN TROTTING CLUB.

; SPRING MEETING. FAST TIMES RECORDED,

Although the sky was overcast., the ■weather was fine yesterday for " the, 6econd day of the New Zealand Metropolitan Trotting Club's Spring Meetinfj and visitors to Addington were able to enjoy the high class sport provided under most enjoyable conditions. The attendance, though good, was c9nsiderably below that of Tuesday, and the totklisator investments again showed a falling off, the total for the day being £51,594 as against '£53,095 -on the second day last- year. The business management of the meeting was as efficient as ever,,'and the day's programme ran very smoothly. The excellent music provided by the Voolston Brass Band added much to the day's, enjoyment,' With the first days form-as a guide? backers were well on the.' mark in their, selections, and six of:, the eight races were won by first favourites, and in the other two events the favourites finished in second

place. ■Tlie track at Addington ha 3 seldom been in better 1 condition for time miking, and with practically no wind toj hinder the contestants the days racing was marked by some brilliant performances, while the - majority of the placed horses-improved on their handicap times. *. The principal handicap/of the day/the Courtenay Handicap,'brought o\it *a field of ten, and afiterl his excellent showing in the New

Zealand Cup on...Tuesday Great Hope i was'- made a warm favourite, .with the Gpp ■. winner, Sheik, also well . backed. The, result showed that the confidence pliac.ed in Great "fiope • waa well justi-fied,-for he was .always in a good positibn, and drawing out over the final stiages won decisively. Sheik was driven right out, but though he put up olio of the "best performances ever ' Been- at Addington Great Hope was his mister. The .'.winner registered 4m 2i.'2-ss, which is.'a winning raco record f<jr the Dominion, while Sheik's time, :4m ;22 3-ss, has* only once .previously li^en:'beaten iav a .race. Although the lVe<>-for-All brought out only five starters, the field was a very highcl'aiit one, and tie; interest .that the race afoiised showed.. the public dppfeciates an opporfunity of 'seeing. the;best meet dn even terms. Acron has: • long,"been recognised as-one of the most brilliant pacers ever seen in New Zeaand ha gave striking proof of his'fqtiality when he cut, out the mile in -> . theitimo of 2m tfc© fastest yet rtcorded in Australasia 7 - 1 the distance, while Realm's time was only a ot a second- siijwer.

NOTES-ON THE RACING.

An-Outsider.

. The t day's racing'; opened, with ..the Whiteleigh Handicap, of-one mile and five furlongs, :>for unhoppled ! trotters that can f dq'4m and have not; done. 3m 50s. Avalanche, ridden by J. .McLennan, claifiied : most attention from backers," and there was solid support for the bracketed pair - Audominion and Eenown,' also; Marvin Drift. Several of these competitors did not begin well, and Avalanche .quickly"; opened -up a large gip from the rest of the-field. Four furlongs - from home - the to Clonmel looked a winner, but tired, and : leaving;/his .feet -yin the "hiome straight,* was \beaten';by- Epse .Peters, who was alw.ays well placed, -f She ,was ninth favourite, and paid . a useful double-figuye 'dividend. down the ba,ck the last Audominion loeiked like ■ winning,; ;but he broke'badly, and was beaten into third'place.' :Lady;EUwood and Wonder Why were the most prominent of : .the-others, - but - never looked" like winning.

Thß Milers. All the acceptors started in the -Bailway Handicap, and after being .'alloyed plenty of time to get into Ms ;stride, John Pointer . put' in a .welVsugtained run over the last three furlongs, and won without being extended. The winner is a. speedy pacer, but does ,not stay. He.; is. a half-brother; to Our Lady, a winner on' tlie openiiigi day. Less .than a hundred yards from h'ome Willie Logan was in second place, ;and looked like finishing in that position, when he broke, and < Pakoti and War Bond.beat him in the run home. Olive Huon, Teneriffe, and Phil. Smith broke soon after the start. Bellfashion was prominent for six furlongs, while Waitaki Girl, Nellie.Scott, and Grand Denver were always amongst the second division, where they finished, !

A Past-Bun. Bace. The principal race, on card, the Courtenay. Handicap, . carrying . the good stake of iOOO sovs, for horses that have done 4m 32s for two miles, attracted ten starters, and it was a fine race. Harbour Light did net oegin, correctly, and .Ta,tey Dillon broke soon after the start. When.the .field .settled down, Lady Swithiia was ii . charge from. Ouimet, Hal Junior, Dolly Dillon, and Paul Dufault, and >in: that order they raced over ■ tho - flrst circuit, With Great Hope, Vilo, and' Sheik'at the head of the second division. Lady-Swlthiii and Hal Junior were ; the . first beaten, and Paul Dufanlt temporarily took charge, bat six farlonga from home Great Hope assumed the lead,: closely followed by Dolly Dillon, Vilo, Sheik. -Pacing in fine styhs,;Great Hope easily held his own, and won in' the fast time of 4m 24 2rss, -a winningjrace record.: for : the Dominion,,the.beat^pro-

vio'us time being 4m 255, done by Cathedral Chimes and Onyx. The performance of Great Hope was a fine one, and on his showing he must he considered somewhat unlucky in being beaten in the New Zealand Trotting Cup. The honours of the race re3ted with Sheik, who covered the. two mile 3 in 4m 22 3-os, which has only once been .beaten in a rac ®7T nam f ly - IQ t!f 21. 4-ss» by Author Dillon in Dolly Dillon went her best race to date, and by registering 4m 27 4-os qualified for the-highest class m the Dominion. There is no doubt that she is a greatly-improved mare. Although Vilo went 4m 255, she could only finish fourth, her effort being full of merit. Oiumct showed a rare turn of speed in patches. He is well, and should soon be' a stake-winner. Hal Junior had every chance, but lacked speed, and it is doubtful whether he will return to form. A Small Field.

For some unaccountable reason, only five horses accepted for the November Handicap, and all on the card faced the starter. Pearlie Chimes was favourite,. and after allowing Prince Derby to make the running she came out from the rails a furlong from home and won by a narrow margin in the fast time of 4m 30 l-ss. Prince Derby was unlucky, as he lost ground at the start, and with an even despatch the son of Globe Derby would probably have re-versed-positions with the-winner. Considering that Wild Thyme has not long been in work, he paced a good race, and should benefit by the run. Golden Devon' performed indifferently, and Downcast was outclassed. ? Jack Potts Again. Jack Potts scored his second win at the meeting by annexing the Metropolitan Handicap from .ten others. He paced , a fine race, and won without being extended. Brownwood suffered slight interferencie at the start, and lost ground, but he was easily beaten into second place, with Golden Sun close up third. "Vera Logan, Fancy Boy, and Bell Harold were prominent for threeparts of the journey. Latona was in-terfered-'with during the running of the,race, while Quiver was outclassed, aiid Talaro refused to strike a gait at the start, and was not persevered with. Frea For All.

. ! There were no scratchings in the Free For. All,. and .the. five horses —Acron, Login Chief, Realm, Onyx, and Taraire —presented a well-trained appearance. J. j. 'Keniierlcv's pair, Acron and Logan Olii'ef, monopolised the betting, and were- backed down to a short price, with Realm, Onyx, and Taraire supported in that order. As the field lined up" at the post-the positions were: Realm, Taraire, Logan Chief, Onyx, and Acr.on. At' the first attempt the field was. despatched. Tairairc fared badly, for he was behind tho ; others at the Start. His driver, recognising that his chance had gone,' did not . persevere with the son of Four Chimes and Murica't'a,' and he was allowed ;to race in the rear .throughout the contest. Once on tlic jouiniey, Eealm led Logan Chief, Acron,. and Onyx, and in that order they raced until reaching, the back straight, where Lojgan Chief _ tanged alongside' Realm,, and' Acron improved Wis i position. At the mile post Logan Chief was •,in charge, and > Acron dieposed of Realm. There was a.great fight for' supremacy, and a liundfcd yards from home Logan Chief faltered,' and-: Acron ran home an easy winner, while Realm beat • Logaii Chief .'for seeotid money,-|wi.thi Onyx, beaten .off,, fourth. The race.; aroused; a;- lot -of interest,'aiid'was- run in-record time for Australasia—2ni 3 3-ss. Acron was on his;best behaviour, and-paced a brilliant race-,.! as :ateo did. Realm and Logan Qhiof, ; despite the; fact that both beaten; The sec'tional times -were vFir st quafter«v33s, half-mile . lni. 0 4-saf,-. six furlongs ; 1m 32- and 'the,.full ■ disjahce in 2m 3 3-ss. _ A Lucky Winner.

All the.'acceptors on the card went to the post in. the Sockburn Handicap, and,, after! giving a mixed display, Le Todd, won by a narrow margin from CJlbnmel,;St. Anthony, Marvin-. Junior, MSnra' and First ,Fashion. The winner, .Le Todd,; was- successful in winning his first rac& —the. 1922 New Zealand;, Trotting Stakes—in O. E. Hooper 's hands, and: since then- has won several races,: lihis-being his most important win to date. Clonmel benefited, by t}ie racihg oil the opening .day, and beat all but>tlie winner. St: Anthony trotted a : fine race. The New Brighton-trained gefding made sill 'the early, running, and was- unlucky in meeting such- an improved; pair as: Le . Todd and Clonmel. Both Marion Style and' First Fashion logt their chances through breaking. They- finished fifth and sixth' reepec- ■ tivcly, in front of a*strung-out field. The Favourite Beaten..

Pedro Pronto showed good form in the Royal Handicap, and defeated a warm fatourite in Delavan Quest. In the early ' stages .of the race, Pedro Pronto was in the rear of .the field, but once he settled down to work showed a rare turn of. speed, and by defeating such, a smart lot of sprinters: registered a"-brilliant performance. Delavan Quest had ■ every chance, but was fully extended at the finish. Bonny. Logan paced her. usual solid while Albert •Cling and-First Carbine made the best showing of the others.

TO-DAY'S PROGRAMME. ? \ Tlie meeting will be concluded to-day, and with , the good acceptances, which include a -number of new performers, the racing should again prove interesting/' ■ )

"Ten well-performed horses are engaged in. the Christchurch Handicap, and in Acron and Great Bingen J. J. Kennerley holds a strong hand, while Dolly Dillon and yilo« should add interest to the race.
