NAPIER PARK RACES. SECOND DAY. IBy TclecraDh—Press Association.! Napier, June 23. Perfect weather favoured the second day of the Napier Park Racing Club's Winter meeting, and the attendance was large and quite equal to, if not greater than, that of the first day. Prior to the races starting, the stewards considered the application by Jock=y Carmont to reopen the'inquiry as the result of which he was disqualified till the end of July in connection with Sir Frisco being .left at the post. in .the. Stewards' Stakes on the previous day. They declined to acccde to the request, adhering to the former decision. There were several interesting finishes to the races, that in the Park Steeplechase being specially exciting. The sum of ,£6O3G passed through the totalisator, making a total for the two days of .£12,006, as compared with ,£11,198 last year. Seven bookmakers were licensed outside at ;£lO, and five inside at .£2O 10s. The following are tho results:— BROOKLANDS HACK HANDICAP, of 80 sovs. Six furlongs. 3. Mr. \Y. Telford's ch. g.

From a good start Eiya was first to sliow in front, with Climax and .Golden Water following. About the same order was maintained to the fence ncaiing the turn into the back stretch, when Rosegrove lost his rider. Shortly afterwards Oxton went to tho front, but was soon supplanted by Captain Jingle, who was fencing well and going strongly. Captain Jingle was first into the straight, and won easily by half-a-dozen lengths. A length and a half separated second and third. Climax was fourtli. Time, 2min. 55 l-ssec. WINTER OATS HANDICAP, o£ 115' sots. Seven furlongs. 2 Mr. W. H. Rooney's blk. g. Mundic, by Gold Reef—Hopeful, 4yrs., lOst.. 21b. (W. KM) 1 '1 Hon. J. D. Ormond's Idealism, 9sfc. 21b ; (P. D.

' Lingerer ran ' off at the brush double opposite the stand. Corazon went to the front going ronnd the back with Kiotere second. Corazon was still in front for the second time past the post, King Hippo and Befline being his closest attendants, and Maidi bringing up the rear. On the last round Corazon was still leading at the back, Le Beau being second and King Hippo next, but at the caretaker's bend King Hippo had got on terms with Corazon, and, negotiating Kis fences in better style, got in front. At the sod-wall, Corazon again ranged alongside, and .a great struggle up the straight ensued, King Hippo winning by a head. Maidi, who was only a fair third, started. favourite. Le Bean finished fourth and Oakley fifth. Time, smin. 35 3-s?ec. LADIES' BRACELET HANDICAP.

Gold Battery was favourite. Time, lniin. 36 2-ssec. NOTES ON THE. RACING. (By Telegraph.—Special Correspondent.) Napier, Juno 23. The principal event provided a splendid race though there was nothing with any pretensions to first-class form engaged. Kiatere is not himself, Le Beau lacks condition, and the remainder are only moderates. Not a single favourite prevailed during the day, and tho meeting, though a very successful ono from the club's point of view, was disastrous to hackers. , The field which coutcsfccd. the Broolclailds Hack lineo was a very poor one, and RnupnrCj tho top weight, would only have to carry (Ist. 71b. in any hack race on a metropolitan course. Goldemar was supposed to be better suited in to-day's race by the distance being a furlong shorter. He closed up a warm favourite, and ns ho had everything in his favour in the race, he should have won had he been at all equal to what was wanted. Oliver was on the move when the tapes Hew up, and auickly,.had |

a serviceable break on the field, but his mount failed to see the journey out, and Bcrcola, hard ridden, won by a couple of lengths. Raupare also headed the ia« vourite in the last couple of strides. Iu tho flack Hurdles Oxton was favourite. The Birkenhead gelding seemed to be much improved by his race yesterday, and he closed at a very short price. Julian kept him in tho rear till the five-furloug post was reached, and then sent him out to win if he could. Two fences from home he and Captain Jingle were out alone, but the big weight told on Oxton, and his light-weight companion outjumped him at tho last fence and won by several lengths. Several candidates received solid support in the Winter Oats Handicap, and the betting public was nearer the mark' this time, as the two best-fancied, horses ran first and second, though in the wrong order. Mundic, being a very fast beginner, had a great pull over the remainder of . the field. The black fellow was quickly ont in front, and though hard pressed in the straight, ho stalled off the opposition. Idealism did not got a good run, or he might have been closer up. Te Bu was coughing during his preliminary, and is apparently developing influenza. Ambrosian finished close up forth. Maidi carried tho bulk of the money in the steeplechase, but whatever chance she had was spoiled by her rider keeping her too far from her field. Corazon was not jumping too well, and his rider took him to the front to give, him a clear run at his fences. Ho made several faulty jumps, but luckily stood up and, although King Hippo appeared to have him well beaten four from home, Sir William Russell's horse struggled on gamely, and, after a splendid finish, was only beaten by a neck. Lingerer and Beeline ran off. Kiatere was bleeding after pulling up, and one of his hind legs was. badly cut through being galloped on. The winner's form was an improvement on his showing at Hastings during the previous week. The public plumped for Amato in the Bracelet, and the way in which he was backed made it appear as if the others were not in tho race. Centaur, yesterday's winner, was practically neglected, but again he won easily, and- is evidently improving yfith every, race. The favourite seemed unable to raise a gallop, and was slipping about a good deal in tho race. The long list of defeats for the favourites was not broken in the hurdles, when Aotea tried to will again. He led till the back of the course, when Feu- de Joio rushed to the front, and, out-jump-ing the favourite, ran in an easy winner. Xavier was badly handled. He was finishing faster than anything else, but he was kept too far out of it in the early stages. Backers got further into trouble over the last event, in which Gold Battery was made the selection. . Teotaue was saddled at the back of the course, and kept away from the crowd as the excitement is generally too much for him, and causes him to bleed. He'was soon in front, and, never being extended, won easily. The favourite beat the others fairly comfortably. ASHBURTON RACES. A JOCKEY INJURED. (By Telegraph.—Press Association.) Ashburton, June 23. The Ashburton County Racing Club, which abandoned its ordinary autumn meeting on accouut of the late King's death, commenced tho winter meeting decided on in lieu thereof to-day.
