PRESIDENT'S TO SILVER ROD

In spite of the cold and wet weather there was a good attendance. for the second day of the Hawke's Bay Jockey Club's. Winter meeting at Hastings on Saturday. The going was very heavy. The totalisator handled £38,666, making a total of £98,789 for the meeting. , Winner at Good Odds. At surprisingly good odds, Matapiro repoatcd liis ilrsl day 's form by scoring u very decisive win iif the Pakowhai ilack liurdles. The winner was always Jtruvelling well and, running past the jmcemaker, Tracer,' three furlongs from hoiue, he gave nothing.. a chanee over the hnul stages. Glad .'Fox finished on from the middle of the iield to deprive Tracer t'or second, with Lotto, who had becn prominent throughout, next. Ro'to Parera, who was never going well, Piko Piko and Cuisinier did best of the others. The well-backed Sandy (Jape came to grief at the third fence. A dividend approaching a third of a ceutury Lo win and almost double iigures for a piace was returned by Hparkling Lady in tlie Hastings Trial. Graduallv improving her position fiom ' the middle of the field, Sparkliug Lady was closely attending | the leader Gold Wuteh wlien the straight was reaehed, and in the rnn t.o the judge the Feilding owned-and-traiued iilly came uwav to win comfortubly. Sir Warrior linished on to take second from Nunaaki, who came on the sceiie latcr at'ter being badly placed at the tuni, Newel Post was a creditable fourth after having every chanee, and then followed 11 Corona, Loquendi, Gold Watch and Providcr. An Easy Win. Kept up closer to the leaders on tliis occasion, the l'avourite, lilne Title, had the Hawke's Bay Hurdles won a 1 long wav from liome and decisvelv I turned the tablos on Hunto. Over the { early stages Gold Monoy Bong and f Bhepherd 's Mate showed the wav to : Patu Ha and Norse, with Blue Tltlo I and Hunto at the head of a wcll- ' bunched field. Hacing along tlie back j the leaders dropped out, and Norse was | lcf t in • charge from (Jauda Lux, Blue | Title and lluuto. Bcfore the straiglit | was reaehed BJue Title had littlo diHi- | culty in running into the lead and hc j came right away over the concluding stages to score by a wide margin from llujito-. Norse was a moderate third, I with Huyton, Patu Ha and Gold Money | tfong following, Sheplierd's Mate, who dril'ted right out of it with si\ furlongs to run, was pulled up in the straight. Jn a great duel over the final furlong in the President's Handicap Silver Hod displayed rare gameness to withstand a determined challenge bv the favourite Platform, wliose inabilitv to liofd a forward position in the early stages probably cost him the raee. Lowry Bay was the early paeemaker from Jndian Sport, Craindnd Bny, Paganini, ("nited Xations and Silver Rod, tlie rear being brought up by Singing Hills. Passing tho six furlongs PagaI nini moved tlirougli smartly to .lead | from Uuited Xations, Tndian Sport and l Bilver Hod, with Platform most pronvinj ent oi Ihe others. t'nited Xations lis- ; placed the leader approaching tlie home : turn and was first into line from Indiau ! Sport, Bilver Hod, Paganini and Platform. At the distance Bilver Hod hit j the front, but Platform then put- in his i claim, and in a liard set-to just failed i to get up. In a elose tussle for third ; T.'nited Xations struggled ou to beat ■ Paganini. with Lowry Bay, Indian : Sport and Dark Morning next. The Pavourite Beaten. | A faultv jump at thc sod wall half a j niile from home in the June Bteeple- : chuse extinguished the chanees of the hot favourite Master Aletuit, who at thut stage was travelling like a winner within reach of tlie leuder Authorcss. Midwood was almost catapulted j from the saddle, but made a great reeovery. However, the incident knoeked ! all the steam out of thc topweight anJ j lio failed to regain the lost advantagc. | Authoress opened up a big gap comj mencing Ihe final circuit, but she nea'rly , lost her rider at the hencoop, and this • allowed Kilinanagh to range up and I lead over Ihe last fence. In tlie ruu ; liome Kilmunagh displayed too much ! stamiua for Authoress and she went 011 } lo win decisively. Opaltown plodded 011 to beat Alaster Meruit. into fourth place, witli Flylito a long way back next. Kpping, who was sore, madc a bad jump early and, after being tailed ofi\ was pulled up. Abbev Lu and Gay Jv'ouen dropped out of the running soon j after cominencing the final round. ! The Huakawa Hack Handicap resultj ed in a minor ujiset, Mary Lee liaiid- « ling the going rnucli better tlian "Irer j oppononts to seore a runaway win. TiI'ox attempted to lead throughout, but ' Mary Loo was always handy, with Yusfyilikos, Te B'auaka, "Waterloo Bridge i Blunket also well placed. Roundj ing the home turn Mary Lee displaced j tlie paeemaker and, finishing full of I running, scored by a wide margin. Tikl'ox luid little difficulty in liolding oflf I Blue Moon for second, with Tlighform, i Te Wanaka, Yassilikos and Blanket i following at intervals. Wayside Finlshes Well. AVayside made amends for her defeat | ihe lirst day by finishing too well for | tlie sprinters in the Havelock Handicap aud her supporters received a win dividend of over double figures. Tribal Xiglit was thc first to bccomc prominent, but. racing to the turn was. displaced by Ivol Ragi in the lead, tlien came Panope, Flving Hawk, Poutatau and High Tdeal. Soon after entermg tlie straight the field spread aeross the traelc, and at the distance Air Ace came th rough from the rear to hit the frout, but Wayside then finislied fast on tlie outside aiul went on to beat tho Riccarton candidate going away. Poutatau was a moderate third, with High Ideal. Carey, Tribal Xight and Panope next. Yigorously handled by A. Midwood, the heavilv suppoTted Ernbrae just managed.to get up 111 fhe last stride to defeat the outsider Silver Frost in the t Final Hack Handicap. At the finisli they Avere well clear of Royal Duc-e, who staged a strong run from the rear to head Toniahawk, who was followed by Omaio. Oarmelita and Silver Ball. Tlie well-faucied Court Judge oever
