Lord Mana Scores In Handicap

Voltaic's great- victory in'the North Island Challenge Stakes, the brilliant finishing runs of Lord Manna and Demonic, which. won two of the big feature races, thrilling finishes, and the riding of W. J. Broughton, who saluted the judge on five occasions, were highlights of Saturday's racing at Trentham. . The day was fine a'nd the course, with the going a shade slower than for the first day, was in magnificent order. The attendance was good and the totalisator investments amounted to £192,855, compared with £198,919 on the second- day' last year. The total for the meeting was £360, 569^, which was £18,7061 below last year's. total of £379,276.
