' , "Early yesterday morning the weather outiook was bright, and tho prospects for the iecond day of the Wellington Racing Club s meeting 'wore good, but showers fell in tne city before midday, and at Trentham the sky was overcast when the racing commenced. Juat before the Wellington Stoeplechaso was , limed to start, a heavy rain came on, and i continued till after the race was started. The track, already soft, was now very heavy in ' parts, and for two'of the subsequent events the ecrotchings were numerous. Still tie fields throughout tho afternoon were large/ and two dividends were paid on six of the seven ' events. Tho racing itself was interesting, and the steeplechase was certainly tho finest race ever seek on the Trentham course. The jumping "Was excellent, and the winning \'< horse . and jockey received a round of applause as they returned to scale. One or two horses fell in the steeplechase and'hurdles, but no serious accident occurred to mar the pleasure of the day. Tho only disagreeable feature of the gathering was the weather. Not 'that it seriously affected the attendance, but thejheavy rains tad 'made the lawn and saddling paddock quite duehyj and moving about in tho latter part of the afternoon was an uncomfortable experience. But the crowd speculated briskly on the different races', and at the end of tie day the sum of £13,555 had been passed through the totalisator. l This h an increase' ,of £572 on tho returns for last Steeplechase Day. -The bookmakers did not muster in strong force, only five doing business in tho paddock and nine on the outside ' They all reported a bad day, as the winners in every race were well backed. Details of the racing . ore as follow:— s I "' GIiABGOW HANDICAP, of 130 sow. Five l furkmge. ' Mr, .W. Christioje b. g. St. Bill, by 'St.' • ~ Clements—Billingsgate mare, ■ aged, lOst. 813).' „..

All but Sp«ciosa moved off to a good start, and at the first fence Tibon led trom Otus, Moccasin, Wanganui, and LingereT. At the stonewall Irish had run'into third place bohind Titson and Ofcas, with Moccasin, Wanganui, and Lingerer next, and Coy last. Otus cleared the water-jump juflt ahead of Tilson and Irish, with the rest bunched, and' Capitol and Coy bringing up the rear. Going down tho back of the courso Irish werit to tho, front followed by Tilson, Wa_nganui, Otus, and Moccaiin. The jumping up to this stage had been splendid, but Coy came down at the logs, and'Aorangi was pulled'up shortly after. Coming to the i stone wall the second fcimo, Wanganui, Irish, and Lingerer, were together, with Te Arai fast gaining on them. At the double Lingerer led from Irish, Wangarmi, and Tβ Arai, tho next being MoOCaSifl, Capitol, Speciosa, and Nadador, with Otus and Defeat last. Lingerer then commenced to tire, and Ineh went to the front witn To Arai in pursuit, 1 and with a milo , to go, those two Were followed by Wanganui, Lingerer, Moccasin, and Capitol, the last-named starting to make' tip his ground. Te Arai jamped ahead of Irish at 'the loge, and Capitol was then in third position, with Moccasin and Nadador giving chase. Capitol passed Irish, but fell at the ' second fence from home. Irish ,, under the whip hid no chance of catching Te Arai, who won easily by three lengths, Nadador was ten lengths aW4y third, just ahead of Moccasin, with Capitol, who had been remounted, fifth, Lingerer sixth, and Otusy Wanganui, and Defeat nest.

NOTES ON THE RACING. ■ fBl GIEKCOB.I ( From the time the betting opened on the Glasgow Handicap there was a continued demand for St. 'Bill, and he finished a firm favourito. Sweet Angelas and Martyrium were the only others banked to any estent. St. Bill, who stripped • in- great condition; took the lead from the'barrier'rise,' and he moved along so freely at the head of his field that tho issue was never in , doubt.' Penates- tvas in second place till wrfcbra a hundrd yards of ' the post, when Sweet Angelus headed him. Though a trifle' on tho big fidd, Penates should improvo immensely with each race, and he looks like being, if '■anything, a better horso this season than he was last.' , Sweet Angelus was putting in good work at the finish, but she began too slowly to have a chanoo with the winner.

Of the ten starters in the Kaiori Handicap, Pukewai.wag installed a Strong favonrite, but, Miscast, Thetis, and Marathon woro all well backed. ■ It wae probably Miscast's, reputation for being bad at the barrier that prevented him being made favourite. Hβ got away very well as it happened, and though he did not assume the lead till the straight, he looked a iwiililer from tho balf-mile post onwards. Thotis,'again ran a good race, and' it Should not bo' loftgi before this filly joins the winning list. PukeWai did not justify his position as favourite, for he waa nevor prominent. • / '

Of tho nine, starters in tno Vittoria Hurdles, Tatiira «*as easily , , favourite, but there was plenty of backing for Wirral. Tauira did not got to tho front at the first hurdle, but 'he was going very well as they passed tho stand, and Tolford allowed him to catdi the leaders gradually. Six furlongs from home tho race was all over, for tho favourite went to the lead there, and though fie jumped outwards at the last hurdle,, no won with the greatest of ease from Waiono, who had the rest of tho field easily beaten. The ease with which Tanira won makes him out to be ono of tho finest hurdlers ever seen at Trentham, and his prospects for future rac63 look' vory bright. Wirral was a rank disappointment,, for he got away with his field satisfactorily, but was completely done before going a mile, Waione and»Auratus, especially Auratus, were the best of the oth-' ers, and Kelso gives promise of being useful when he has had a raco or two. Polyanthus shied just before the second hurdle, and O'Connofl, her rider, was thrown against the rails, but not seriously injured.

Ai tho going was vory heavy, the owner of Lβ Beau decided, / at a late hour, to scratch his horse, and this left thirteen starters for the Wellington. Steeplechase— ono of the finest fields that had ever contested the iace. Lingerer was installed favourite on the totalisator, but, with the bookmakers, Tβ Arai was in greatest demmxd. Capitol, Moccasin, Irish, and Nadador were next in order of favouritism. 'Mr. O'Connor dispatched tho big field very satisfactorily, Spociosa, who was a little troublesome, being the only ono to get away badly. Considering tho size of tho hold, tho state Of the going, and tho sobd paco that was set, the jumping display of all tho candidates was good. Coy was tho first to come to grief, but it was not till a round had been completed that he toppled over. Cress remounted, but did not give chase. Aorangi was pulled up near the stono wall, the second time, while SpecioSa and Tilaon withdrew from tho hunt during the last round. Capitol had the misfortune to fall at the second to last fence, and a couple of the riders decided that they wore too far behind to bother, about the last fence —the hencoop. To Arai I was not prominent for the first mile, but ho was observed steadily making up ground as tihflf approached the stono .wall the second time, andhe wae fourth at the double. It yfas here fcjiat he made his only mistake, by running right Hnder the obstacle, but, he bpokaii over it pleyerly, and seemed to bo placed right on his mottle then. At tho flext fence ho jumped into second position, anu it was appaiclit that Irish was doomed to defeat Once more. At tho haystack Tβ Aral was in the lead, and his only dangerous opponent was Capitol, who appoarod to be gaining ground fast when ho fell at the last fenoo but ono. Tho opinion is held by many that Capitol 'would have won had lie stood Up, but this is mere conjecture, for To Arai is a great stayer, and cleared tho last hnrdlo I as if ho wae Hot distressed, lartd ho id much faster on the flat than Capitol. Mr. Pollock evidently inclines to the opinion that Capitol would have been very close, as he makes a difference of 61b. only between the pair in the July Stcoplcchaso, as compared with the Wellington Steeplechaso weights. Those who have seen To Arai win most of his races this season say he would beat Capitol at level weights from a furlong up to tho Grand National distanoo It is interesting to note that To Arai could only incur a 71b. penalty in the Grand National for his win yesterday, but any of tho other National horses would

have beon penalised 141b. Mr. Morse.pur-, chased Te Arai for something like £26, and ' tho Monaco horse has been a great bargain. F. 'Porter, who rode the winner, is also his trainer, and has turned out the winners of a lot of races this season. He appears to hayo great confidence in Te Aral's jumping, ability, as it is always from the top of tho hurdles that he , glances over' his shoulder to smile at his beaten opponents. Irish registered a meritorious performance by running second, after making a lot of the running, and Nadador ■ and. ', Mocassin, : both proved themselves sure jumpers. By tho time tho Waterloo Handicap came up for decision the track was a quagmire in parts, and five of the ten acceptors were withdrawn. Dawn was made a hot favourite, but there was solid support for. Sir Frisco and Wimmora, and it transpires-that there was a very heavy commission for-Wimmera away from Ifoo conrse. - Cairns got him smartly away, and he* led througEontj and when challenged by Dawn, in the straight he bad a good finish in reserve. The full-brother to Muskerry ran fourth to St. Bill in the Stewards' Handicap on Saturday, and the race appeared to have improved him, while the heavy, going was in his favour as he had only 31b. over the minimum.■» Dawn ran like a.good horse, but was not able to concede the winner 201b. on such a holding. track. Sir Frisco ran below his best/form.

Rendrock was the only, withdrawal from tho Jumpers' Flat Race, for which Scotty was made tho hottest favourite of'the day. On tfho machine he carried more than twice as much money as any of the other candidates. Silken Rein and Exmoor were the other candidates well backed. The.race was very interesting during the first mile, .-and a number of candidates took' prominent positions at different stages. , Deery rode a masterly race on tho favourite, .and over .the first half-mile ho took him' along gently, so that the heavy going .would not tell on him too much. Going down the back Deery sorted out a nice position;, and. at the halfmile post he had tho lead,' but refrained* from bustling his mount until well in the straight. Ho then let him run along,'and won'."easily. Bon Jonson was going well in the straight, and looked like being second, but died awayi in the last portion, and was beaten out of a place. Compass and Southern Cross were badly placed in the Cearly stages, and .both covered a lot of ground in. the last,half-mile. Compass finished strongly, and just managed to beat Belario for second place, but was too lato to have any chance': with Scotty. Moscow and Enrnoor both ran well. for'■:• seven furlongs, «nd Silken Rein showed up third at tbe'ehd of a'mile. ,•'/■'•.'■■■ ■ • ■■■■>■■ ■■;., '■'■■■.;■,■ Te Kahurangi, Rose Herald, Prevail,' and Cohort were withdrawn from tho Thorridon Handicap, and backers immediately fastened on To Ru as tho likely winner. ■;■ Inohbonny, Purakau, and Warata were the best backed of the othor pandidates. The position 'was summed tip fairly correctly, l for; Teßn came home a winner, and Purakau and Inchbonny filled the places. Tβ Rα, like the majority of the Birkenhoads, carries;weight'well, a&d, rorols in the soft going. He had a hot challenge from Purakau m the : straight, • but finished stoutly and ■'. stalled it' off. : Warata led for three furlongs; but he has been suffering wi£h a cold, and. his condition failed him.
