: . fTHE PBBSS (Special Serines.] AUCKLAND, February 25. Two descendants of Guy Parrish,' namely Pflrrish Pelle and Guy MeElfilled the< dividend places in the MVnurdwa Handicap. Parrish Belle, wlio wag successful on. the first day, ws,h batfked down to odda-on, and she justified the confidence by winning with great ease, . She ran up second behind Lady Ena, - who had a. commanding lead early, and took charge with a rouud to go, to score by a length and a half from Guy McElwyn; Windchat was half a length t*way third, and Call. Boy fourth. Handicapped to do 4min 55860, Parrish' Belle tailn 49 2*ssee with ease, and is undoubtedly- one of the promising young trotters inZealand to-day. Guy McElwyn also has a good future before hiro. He' wis again slow to begin, but went attractively when ha was balanced, andshowed stamina in staying on at the finiah. * . An Exciting Finish. 4 The Howiek Handicap provided an exciting flnish/Krat Bight just winning from Gunbourne. Grand Canyon and Hrsf the favourites, with choice at a good., rn'riaSF Iflw&a yt&jaah,} Ml Gunbouriie

cut 'at one another- in the lead, with First Plight: a good way back. Four furlongs jfronj home, First Flight moved up on the outside, and at the straight entrance She was practically alongside Grand Canyon and Gunbourne. In the run home First Flight stayed on best to win by half a bead from Gunbourne, Grand Canyon being a neck away third. Bell Dial was fourth, followed by Dad's Hope and Carnui. First Flight went tho last half mile very fast. . - A Brilliant Victory. Unpenalised for her second on the first day, Free Advice was installed a solid favourite over Mountain Dell for the' Mackenzie Handicap, and she duly scored, after being driven with remarkable confidence by -W. J. Tomkinson. Lindbergh broke at the start, and Gi«nrossifl was a trifle slow ,to go, although he did not lose much ground. Great Peter and Pageant went away in the lead, and they raced together jiwt ahead of Glenrossie, with Free, Advice following about -five lengths behind, ahead of Harvest Child and Jewel Pointer. So they raced until three furlongs front; home, when Glenrossie dashed to tho front to lead Free Advice round the home turn;- where the others were all beatea. Free Advice trailed Glenrossie until about 100 yards from the post, when she, came out to beat him very comfortably by a neiek. Harvest Child was tlifee lengths away third, and Jewel Pointer another two lengths away fourth. Next came Kohaia and Mountain Dell. Free Advice paced one of her very best races, and won brilliantly. Even when the leaders were clear with four furlongs to go, Tomkinson was never uneasy, and once he asked for a final effort Free Advice responded genuinely. Great Ballin'sWin. In spite of a penalty of 36yds for his success on the first day, Great Ballin was a better favourite than Mignonne and The Admiral for tho Sylvia Park Handicap, and he realised expectations by winning nicely. Mignonne stood on the mark and took no part in the race. Author Franz led for three furlongs, when Te Wahia slipped throtigh on the rails, anu Great Ballin went up on the ontside. Te Wahia and Great Ballin then cleared right away, and Gteat Ballin stayed on well to beat Te Wahia by two lengths. Queen Elizabeth was half a head away third, and The Admiral fourth. The winner outside four horses when the leaders bunched going out of the straight, and he thoroughly deserved his success. < Bangitoto Handicap.. - Surprise Journoy waa an odds-on favourite for the Bangitoto Handicap, and he finished brilliantly to win cleverly from Linnett the Great. Great Change and Tho Tartar broke, up, at the start,, and Great Change was eventually pulled up. Paradigm and Jock Bingen carried tho field along, With Linnett the Great, Gold Sovereign, Kolmar, and Surprise Journey (who had made* up tie handicap qiiickly) all handy. With three furlongs to go Jock Bingen was beaten, -and Linnett the Great went up to Paradigm. The leaders were several lengths clear of Surprise Journey ftt the home turn, but the favourite finished like a racehorse to beat Linnett the Great by a. short, neck. Paradigm was third and Kolmar a moderate fourth, with the others pulling up.

• Victory for Glenrossie. The Olenroßsie-.Genuine bracket was preferred to Free Advice for the Porbes Handicap,. and Glenrossie confirmed his good- form in the Mackenzie Handicap by scoring handsomely. Gold'. Dial failed to leave tho mark correctly,, and Nella' Dillon went out fast to make the play from Tony Victor, lageant, Joy Bird, and Glenrossie. Glenrossie ran up' to Nella Dillon , with tjyo furlongs to go, and they led , into the straight from Pageant ana Harvest Child. In tbcf run home -Glenrossie stayed on to win by a long, neck from Harvest Child, who beat Pageant by halt a length. Mountain Dell was fourth, .followed ,by Nella Dillon and Jewel Pointer. Glenrossie was nicely driven' by J. Pringle, a son of A. Pringle, and"von "well, although his mar--1 gin was small. Harvest Child and Pageant both ran good' races, and Mountain Dell eame home yerj; fast. Prce Advice broke after, running into , a position, abt settled her chance., " Purser's Good Effort. Baron Bingeb and Peter Pirate were the best backed for-the Bichmond' Handicap, but they, -were both well beaten. Mignonne stood on tho mark, and' Purser was also slow away, losing all his handicap. Peter Pirate, Daytime, and Gunoourne were th,s, early leaders, to be joined fit the end of half a mile by Explosion. With slightly over a mile covered, Gunbourne b*oke, leaving Peter Pirate arid Explosion in the lead from Gang Awa' and Baron Bingen. Pour furlongs from home Purser went up fast, and when Petef Pirate.brbke at the tvro furlongs post ha wads left in fre.t,from Gang Awa* and Rockburn. % Purser stayed on well at the finish, to win by half.a length from Awa', who beat Gunbourne by iwo and a half lengths. Rockburn .was fourth and Baron Bingen, fifth;. Tlje running of the race was affected by Gunbourne and Peter Pirate breaking, and although Purser deserved his Success, it lopked as if Guiibottrne would have , won but for breaking.-

Sitrprise Jouraey Again. It is unusual for a straight-out' trotter to be seen out -among the pacers over a; sprint distance at Alexandra Park; but Surprise Journey, who was penalised 84 yards- for his win in the Eangitoto Handicap, .was produced in the Farewell Handicap, and he< gave a brilliant exhibition, to win cleverly in a fine finish. Bell Dial and Lord Nepean made the play early from Little Guy, .(Jlandore; and Surprise Journey, who began very faßt. ,Th 6 leaders bunched at the home turn, where Benefice broke; The going was'fast. Fifty yards* irpm the post Surprise Journey unw/tand a brilliant burst of speed and scored by a neck from Lord Nepean. Little Guy was another neck away 'Lird, and Glandore right up, fourth., Surprise Journey gave - W. J; Tomkinson hi? third win for the day. He was,the fourth horsp carrying No. ',(5 saddle cloth tp win during the day.

NOTES ON THE RACING.

(special to the pit ess.)

PAJjMEBSTON N.j February 55. , Flute, in the Maiden Baee, was list away. She ran up iOist on tht outer on the turn, and came h&me well, bnt the effort had taken too Much out of her. The winner, Gaswyi, wasia front all the way. The V favourite, Zephyrua, was in the picture, early; hut soon went back, and rwp a, poor race. -' . 1 y .A Surprise.

Warfilie created a surprise, in tho High-weight Handicap. She won top easily for excuses; but Cook, closer up third, was kopt too far back early, and Kopjti got badly off.

Outsider Wins. There was a regular boil, over in, the Cup, a rank outsider, Mount Shannon, romping home. Royal Parade led nearly all the way, but Mount Shannon ran up fast on the outer on the homo turn. The rear was brought up by Count Palatine and Chopin. Mount. Shannon came away in the last furlong to score by two lengths. Count Palatine failed by a head to reach Boy&l Parade. Moutoa Treasury waß fourth, then Fitzquex, Hawkshaw, Billion, Chopin, and Pakitere. The winner has been a' disappointing racehorse, but scored a very easy win to-day, and if he could be relied) upon to run up to form always, he would win good races. Brilliant Performance. The two-year-old rj.ee saw a brilliant performance on the part of the top* weight, Golden Wings, who downed the favourite, Esteem, in a hard-fought finish, conceding. 121b. The start was very bad, Morris, Gray, and Beed getting their mounts off much the best. Bicb.: borough and Esteem made the paeo from Golden Wings. Esteem had the measure of Bichborough entering - the straight; but Golden challenged, and won by .a short nfick. Bichborough was four lengths away. There .was never a hope for anything but. the first three. . " ■ Boyal Finance Wins. Arrow Lad, with Gray up, started a hot favourite, in the open Bprint; but in a good finish Boyal Finance came right from the rear, and won cleverly. Arrotf Laa followed Bidgemonn* and Coon Song into line, but Boyal -Finance got a nice run through without ing extra ground', and went on ■tpbeatr Arrow Lad. • The winno; putup a good performance, as she had S' lot of ground to make up. The Hack Sprint. Golden Shadow, the favourite in the hack sprint, got badly off, was then asked to go right round' the field turning into thq straight, and failed only by a small margin to pay a dividend. No doubt he should have won. Baskicr got much the best jump ; out, but despite this advantage he failed., to hold off Queen's Salute at the finish;-. The winner was handy all the way* *

A Dead Beat. The 1 built of'the money -lif. the hack seven went on Statuary and De.rmod, but neither was ever dangerous, though Statuary did finish' on into seventh place.

OWNERS AND TRAINERS COMPLAIN. EXPLANATION BY MR PAUL.

, [THE £B£SB Special Sendee.]

AUCKLAND, February 25.

. The 'marks pn which Mountain Dell and Free Advice were placed in. • the, Mackenzie' Handicap formed the subject of a meeting at Epsom to-day between a committee of - tbe Auckland Trotting Club„ and the ownertj - and trainers. 1 The handicapper, Mr Q.. Paul; gave an explantation of his.action and a gener'al discussion on the whole question of handicapping followed. It was decided thas three representatives of the owners and trainers should confer with* a sub-committee oit the_ club with a view to drafting suggestions for the improvement of. the system. Subsequently Messrs J. Xi. Webb, P. J. Smith, and I>. R. Revell. welre appointed. In a statement regarding the Mackenzie Handicap, Mr, Paul said: matter I have come, to recognise in trottilig is that in v this spert there.are no „ classic or weightpfor-age races to offet fields for boraes once they get on an extremely tight mar«. Therefore, when they are on extremely tight parks, if penalties of 24yds for $ win and 12yds for pecdnd_ are to be ipiposed, these horses soon woric to the. back of the . handicaps on to impossible marks, .. iTo combat: for' over 12 months Thaye applied the penalty of 24yds for first' and 12yds for second only in exceptional' circumstances, as, for instance, Wrackler in the ■ New Zealand Gup, Carmel in the Auckland Cup, and Harold Logan after his sequence of wins - culminating with the New Zealand Gold C\if> in Wellington; Every, horse handicapped in the .Mackenzie Handicap on 4min 28sec or a faster mark, with the exception of Lindbergh, who put up an exceptional performance to ?un 4jnin 18see for second at Addingtoii, had in the past received the benefit of this treatment, and the circumstances in connexion with . the running of the Otahuhu Handicap on the first day of the Meeting scarcely warranted my making an exception in ' the case of Moun.'tain Dell and Free Advice.

"Another factor which I took into ! consideration- was that on every prior occasion Mountain Dell had been penalised to the extreme. She w6n irom - 4.41, and ,came back to 4.38, was second from 4.33, and came back to 4.37, won from 4.37, ant! came'back to 4.33, .won from 4.33 'and "came back to 4.30, and won from 4.30 and came back to 4.28. So tinder these circumstances Mountain Deli was djie for the same consideration that had been given to the horses she was set to meet, and who were handicapped on ,4.28 or bet- • ter - ; in * the:. Mackenzie Handicap. Mountain Dell's treatment governed the treatment to be given to Free Advice. and it has to be remembered that Free Advice had not actually won a race'for two years, although she had tid-heated for first in Auckland at ristmas time. It will be seen that .those owners who were* complaining .about the -traatment of Mountain Dell and Free-Advice had already received' the ,sa.me treatment themselves." * ' T " , '
