Tho racing wa9 of a much bettoi order ;tho firsf day, and some good finishes Speculation, however, tell off considerably, both with tho bookmakers and tho totahsator. The Hack.Hurdles was won by a hot favonnto in Waipunohu, who was always at a shfirt puce Tho winner got homo thiough superior condition ( Julian mado Martjnum perform much better to day. He would not let her go to tho front n the early stages, but kopt her behind, and galloping quietly. At tho tnin the r favourite was out by himsolf, but Martyrmm was driven along, and, in a good finish, jhe was beaten by a couple of lengths Nadino, who is broken-winded, wrs a bad thud, and the others were strung out i A "boil-over" took place In the Hack Handicap First Gun and King's Prize were tho best backed horses, but Cork took chargo going out of the straight, and was never headed Tirst Gun did not get a very good passage but it is doubtful if he could hnvo won, whilo King's Puzo was a beaten horso the wholo way, and is not himself A very select lot of candidates were saddled foi tho Hawkc's B.iy Guineas. The Kaiamu representative. Xylophone, "who had gono sore, waj (Matched. Dlysiau looked as fit as could

be, and the racing which he has tad: should have caused him to go out at a shorter price than he .did, but the Riccarton colt.Nautiform, who had done some very fine gallops on the tracks, was always at a short figure. Tawhaki looked a'ball of mnocle, and was sent put in second place, while Maori King also had many ndmirors.- Tawhaki was on the rails, at tho start, and. jumped 'oil first, with Maori King, the favourite, being in the rear. In a ■couple of furlongs ho was in behind tho leaders; .when he received another, check through gal' loping on Expansion. With half a mile Jojgo, the order was Tawhaki, Expansion, Nautiforny Maori King, and Elyslan. At the homo turn Tawhakigot ft bump and fell back, and Elysian took tho load. The Porirua horso came- again on the outside, but the effort told, and Maori King beat him for second money. Elysinn's victory was well recoived, and ho was decorated' on tho lawn by Lady Price. - The open, hurdles, was a good hotting race, the public. being . unable .to decido between Cohzoit and 1 ••lyunth ..&, with Rawhiti also iu-favour. Tho latter was first out, and led East tllO-stand, followed by Rangihacta, with e Beau'whipping in tho field. Down tho back tho positions 'wore unchanged, but, across the railway-bend, "Polyanthus moved up, and .tho candidates,: with tho oxcoption of' Le'Benu, werd- bunched at the, last fence. Corazon jumped:it best, and gained a slight advantage. Forest got a clear run'through- on tho rails, .and,", in; ft hard finish, just..failed to. catch .Corazon. Polyanthns was a length away third. : -The' Troiltham-trairiod Lord Kelvin was the ■best-bacl;cd in .the Jtivenile Handicap, hut ho could only i run a poor third. He jumped off well, but could not go -the pace, and will be better suited ■ Utor. on when the two-year-olds •aro'-racing over longer. distances. The winner was first out, and led the whoje way.:.
