ing in the last furlong. Header also prejudiced his chance by a break three furlongs from home. Billy Sundy looked like doing it right for once, but was unsteady in his gait in the last round. Silk Cord's First Win Silk Cord won the Autumn Novice Handicap. He began well and led all the way. The class he defeated was not good, but he did his work nicely considering that he lacked racing experience and condition. Supertax tried to go with Silk Cord all the way, but dropped out a quarter of a mile from home. Orleigh Mills, who was third nearly all the way, finished better than any of the others to get second. Guy Zolock was third, and Kaitawa fourth.

Casino, Charteris Vale, and Forest Maiden all broke at the start and tailed the field all the way. Had Supertax not been bustled to hold a place on the outside of Silk Cord, he might have done better. Edgar Wallace Scores Edgar Wallace won the Waiwetu Handicap from Full Hand and Golden Square. He took the lead from Golden Square after half a mile had been covered, and thereafter was never headed. Red Gold, Full Hand, and Golden Square were all handy at the home turn, but Red Gold broke and Full Hand wer> on to chase Edgar Wallace, but /ailed by half a length to overhaul him. Golden Square was four lengths back third, Irish Peach fourth, De Soto fifth, and Dundee last. Edgar Wallace did well in front all

the way. Full Hand ran another honest race. De Soto, the favourite, was turned sideways when the barriers were released, and had his chance completely ruined. Dundee ran a bad race, and it is his owner's intention to spell him. Big Race to William Tell A smart beginning and the inside running all the way won the Armstrong Memorial for William Tell, who just survived a late challenge from Bracken to win by a head. William Tell was followed throughout by Worthy King, Mocast, Bingen Palm, Agile, Coldwood, Bracken, and Rey Spec. William Tell was still in charge at the home turn, and hung on to beat Bracken by the narrowest of margins. Bracken was unlucky, as she could not get clear in time. She was sixth at the home turn, and, better placed, would have won. Another unlucky runner was Mocast, who was penned in on the fence behind William Tell all the way, and could not draw out to issue a challenge. The class proved beyond Bingen Palm. Agile had a bad passage, and apart from that he did not run as well as he usually does. Wahnooka Stays Well Superior stamina won the Palmer Handicap Trot for Wahnooka, who was favourite. Billy Sundy, Header, Aerial Boy, and Dilfashion had turns in the lead until half a mile from home where Guy o' Mine and Wahnooka had made up their handicaps and had the leaders within range. Difashion was in charge at the home turn and was battling the finish out with Earl Bingen and Guy o' Mine, when Wahnooka came with a late run and had the race in hand 100 yards from the post. Dilfashion was second at a good price, with Earl Bingen third and Guy o' Mine fourth. It was a good race until Wahnooica put in his

claim, and then it was all over. Header, Billy Sundy, and Aerial Boy all broke at some stage of the contest. Earl Bingen ran a good race, and Dilfashion spoiled his chance by breaking across the top the last time. Guy o' Mine broke in the straight when making a premising bid for victory. An Overdue Win The Taita Novice Handicap was won by Orleigh Mills, who with Kaitawa made most of the pace. Casino and Charteris .Vale made a fast move forward to the leaders the last time down the back. Casino challenged Orleigh Mills at the distance, but the latter held on to win by a neck. Kaitawa was two lengths back third, and Charteris Vale a poor fourth. Forest Maiden and Supertax, who began saowly. were last all the way. Casino rut -a tendon when she broke in her earlier race, and this may have affected her chance, while the fast quarter which Charteris Vale made her do along the back the last time? did not help her in a hard finish. De Soto Atones De Soto made all the pace to win the March Handicap, fof which he was second favourite. He was attended all the way by Rongomai, All Worthy, and Stella Derby. Across the top the last time Irish Peach and Red Gold moved up on the outside, and a bunched field swung for. home with De Soto in charge. He held ort late runs by Red Gold and Irish Pepch to win by two lengths. Stella Derby was fourth and All Worthy fifth. c , . The winner had plenty ot speed at hi* command and won well. Red Gold showed a marked improvement on his earlier display, the shorter distance obviously suiting him better War Betty was not up to the required class. Irish Peach lost a little ground at the start through not being square on when the barriers were released. Rev Spec Shows Speed Rey Spec, the fourth favourite, put up a very smart performance to win the Farewell Handicap for which Taxpayer and Great Antrim carried most money. Great Antrim set a snappv pace from the outset and had Taxpayer, Coldwood, Agile, and Bingen Palm as his nearest attendants for the first round. Passing the threefurlong post Coldwood broke and lost his position and Rey Spec and Agile both ran up behind Great Antrim and Taxpayer who were then racing on terms Great Antrim compounded at the home turn, leaving Taxpayer momentarily in charge, but Rey Spec finished with a great burst and won handily by two lengths from Agile, who defeated Bingen Palm by a similar distance for second money. Taxpayer weakened into fourtn place and Worthy King and Great Antrim were next.

NOTES ON THE RACING (SrECIAL TO THE PRESS.) INVERCARGILL, March 2. An Overdue Win The Trial Handicap was marred by an accident in the first furlong, when the favourite, Pacha, fell and brought down Silver Guy, Gold Valley, and Leitrim, while several others were interfered with. Mishap made the running for over a mile from Worthy Claire, Master Garry, and Chevalier. Desert Cloud joined the leaders at the home turn, but Chevalier finished best to score narrowly from Desert Cloud, who beat Seamark comfortably for second money. The winner was unlucky on the first day and his success was well overdue. Backers Astray An outsider in Imperial Wave made a one-horse race of the Murihiku Handicap, being always well clear and giving nothing else a chance. Bell Noons and Lady Sonoma did best, of the others, but outside of the winner none got through the race without making mistakes. It was a poor contest and the winner paid close on a score. Moko Child's Double Moko Child repeated her first day's success in the Jellicoe Handicap. She was always nicely placed, and came through at the top of the straight to

win decisively from Happy Knight, ; who was responsibe for the running ; over the last six furlongs. Royal Guy | lost ground at the start, but after a j rough passage, he tired into third | place. He was a good thing beaten. I Frank Mac stopped badly and appears to have lost his dash. i All Sunshine Again ■ The Invercargill Cup winner. All | Sunshine, gave a good performance j in the Southland Handicap, and made i a fresh track record for two miles, j Wrackette made the early running | but there was no pace on and the first mile took 2min 2(5 1-nsec, at which stage the field was in close order, with the exception of Sergeant Dallas, who failed to go away. All Sunshine was first into the straight from Wrackette and Margaret Bell. Inside the distance Margaret Bell took charge, and looked all over a winner, but she broke a few yards from the post, and All Sunshine beat her by a neck. Wrackette was a Door third, but she was driven a peculiar race, and showed none of the dash that featured her first day's form. Margaret Bell carried the barriei throughout th«j race. It was locked round the axle of her sulky when she returned to the birdcage, and this was probably the cause of her breaking and losing the race. A Decisive Win Fairhaven was always well placed in the Coldstream Handicap, and after following the pacemaker. Lucky Lee into the straight, drew away and beat Monty Chimes decisively. Eighteen Carat, who did not get a good run, finished on in third place. The favour-, itc. Harold Wrack, was one of the leaders two furlongs from home, and going well, when Dame Fortune put a leg through the wheel of his sulky and settled a good winning chance. Carillon Chimes also suffered through this accident. Leeway's Second Win The Waikiwi Handicap saw Leeway repeat his first day's form by scoring another end-to-end victory. He had nothing to spare from Ann Parrish, who ran a solid race after breaking at the start. The -ground Ann Parrish lost at the start cost her the race. Kippagh was prominent all the way, and finished close up third. Journey's End was fourth, but had no chance with the winner, who is a solid type of six-year-old trotter. Gold Salute Wins

Real Gold tried to win the Visitors' Handicap all the way, but Gold Salute, who was never further back than fourth, cut the leader down in the straight, and won decisively. Dusky was in third position throughout, and finished there close up. Gold Salute had been racing without any luck on the Southland circuit, and his performance was in keeping with his best form. The favourite, Ready Money, stopped badly over the last half-mile. A Hot Favourite Lynwood, an odds-on favourite on both machines, won the Au Revoir Handicap in a close finish. He would have been unlucky to lose, as he doubled his handicap by tangling at the start. Mountain Jewel made the early running from Scotfree and Erin's Boy, and Mountain Jewel" lost her position at the far turn. Lynwood was first into the straight from a bunched field. Mountain Jewel came again in the straight, and Lynwood had to be driven right out to beat her. Erin's Boy was a fair third, and Bingen Wrack next. Lynwood gave the Wyndham trainer, E. Todd, his seventh win at the meeting, five of which were scored consecutively on the first day. FRANKLINBAY OF ISLANDS R.C. CUP WON BY KING MUSK (PRESS ASSOCIATION TELEGBA.M.I PUKEKOHE, March 2.

(Received March 3, 5.5 p.m.) MKLBOUHNK, March 2. The weather was (lull but the attendance was satisfactory for the Victoria Racing Club's autumn meeting, which opened today. The Adelaide-owned Bumburnie registered his sixth hurdle win of the season in v-he Pines Hurdles. He had previously won three at Adelaide and three in Victoria. Young Idea established his claim as the best two-year-old of the season when,' with a brilliant finishing effort, he defeated the New- Zealand-bred Homer in the Siros' Produce Stakes. The winner is trained by Frpd Foulsham, who % had previously won the race with Mollison. " Palfresco created a great surprise by finishing in third place. The New Zealander, Lady Primrose, was never dangerous. Vintage had every chance in the Essendon Stakes. lie made the pace, but was no match for Topical in the .final furlong. He may benefit by the race, but he will meet Topical on 2-31b worse terms in the Australian

Cup. Tins bears out the argument of the connexions of Vintage' that the New Zealander is badly handicapped in the cup. Count Ito, who had the inside running, was always prominent, and outstayed Melason in the last few strides of the Newmarket Handicap. Closing Time finished well, and just beat Winooka for third place. x\rachne was the early leader, but tired over the last half furlong. The winner was ridden by K. Voitre, wno was having his first mount in the Newmarket Handicap. Count lto has now won three times in succession. He was sold before his Caulfied victory last week to go to India, but the conditions of the sale provided that he should race in the Newmarket Handicap for his former ownertrainer. P. B. Quinlan. Radiant Star was never dangerous. Sylvandale had an effortless victory in the .St. Leger Stakes, in which he led all the way. Theo proved a disappointment, his form being far below what he displayed in the spring. Contact ran a fair race, and enhanced his prospects iu the Australian Cup, in which he will have a big drop in weight. La Trobe drew further attention to his Australian Cup chance by a brilliant, win iu the Brunswick Stakes. He had only five horses behind him at one stage, but he finished with a remarkable run. He comes down 01b in the Australian Cup. King March flashed up at the turn, but died away, while Gold Trail was never dangerous. The section-times for the Essendon Stakes were: First two furlongs 27sec, last four 48Jsec. The last half-mile of the St. Leger and the Brunswick Stakes was run in 48sec.
