Several showers ; fell, early this .morning,: but, save for: a light .drizzle just before the hurdles, tKo weather remained fine all day. The going was dead, and the times were'6lover than was the case yesterday. The racing was interesting, and several finishes were very close. .The rider of Sea Wind, in the Ngamutu Handicap, was fined £2 for crossing Miss Alba at the start. The : stewards stated that they wished to impress upon riders the necessity of being more careful. The Second Hurdles. provided the best finish seen in a hurdle race for many months, and some very hard riding, with .po quarteT asked for and nono given, waa indulged in. Paritutu was made favourite, but he looked too big, and as far as could be judged his party were not sanguine about his chances. The-pace was warm all through, and condition told at the finish. Paritutu was in front for half a injle when he was steadied. Nero, on the inside, and Maharanui and Waitapu" "took off" at the last fence together. The first and last-named landed together, but Maharanui did not jump very well,' and the other pair cannoned together, and cut him out. In a hard struggle to the box Waitapu landed the etake by a heck. Paritutu was close np fourth. ;. Petrob.us, who was somewhat unfortunate, in the concluding event yesterday was best supported m tho Borough' Handicap, but a good market was found for : Beacon and Plantation a 9 well. Beacon was unlucky to lose, and was badly handled. He came into the straight with a 'lead of about five lengtlts but then ran wide and Plantation passed him, and beat him comfortably. Tiraumea.gave a good deal of trouble at the barrier, and delayed the start while Timothy and Tsushima were left at the post. .Petrobus was placed third in this Tiace, but there is no doubt that Shininc Star; occupied that position, whilo Petro bus was a long, way further back Heavy speculation was indulged in oi Contralto m tlie Shorts, but Stourton who had winning form to his credit, ™ always well up in the market, and finish ed favourite. Contralto ibegan first but Stourton soon headed her, and,' witl Bow Bells, led the field. In the- straighi Deeley gave tho favourite his head, an< he at once came away, and won comfort ably. V ' ' . : The Manaia Handicap was a very ovei betting race, and sevoral of the candi dates carried about tlie some money oi the totalisator. Apart from the facttha - Tom Glen was slightly left, tho start wa a good one, and Mulga Bill immediate!; went to tho front, followed by Rosoarci and Clomora. Down the back the rea division was leaded by Goldon Eagle, bu the leaders wero unchanged-. Entering thi straight Research ran very wide, an< Clemora passed Mulga Bill. Goldei Eaglo them came with a wet sail, am smothering everything for paco ran in i very comfortable winner. Her succes was anticipa,ted, as slje ,had galloped wol in private, and was looking better thai at any timo previously. A very pronounced favourite was beate: in the six furlong hack event. Attentioi had been very unfortunate yesterday, am her supporters seemed bent on "gettini even" to-day. She had a good passag throughout, but failed badly, and he

form was ft puzzle to her owner. Miss Alba, who has the reputation of .being fairly smart, was quickly in command, ana ran over the field. Voca was pocketed early, or might have troubled the winner. The.tihibitions of horsemanship given in tho Corinthian Handicap did not please the officials, and after the race tho rider of Eeumno was called on for an esplanution. The stewards, however, were satis-, iied with tho explanation tendered. At the start B«umac and Te Whetu collided, and caused Howler to go on hie knees. Te Whetu and Envoy then made tho pace, with Keumac several lengths behind, and Howler and Liquid Air tailed off. The positions were rhe same entering , tho straight, where Vivian, on Te' Whotu, appeared to bo winning easily, but he hold Envoy too cheap, and, hard ridden, the latter won by a neck. On tho first day's form nothing should havo been backed in the last race except ,Hinekorangi, and, although the Waverley filly was made favourite, she was at a false price, and well-backed candidates included Bleoid and Silver Spur, tho latter having been supported on the strength of a good gallop with Plantation, before leaving New Plymouth. When the tapes went up,' the favourite was soon well clear of the field, and, stalling off a Into run by Bow Bells, she won by n, neck. ,
