Backers of the favourite, Penza, had the , best of matters when the.first race was run. Penza got chopped out badly at the start, but she was soon in front, and led froin her stable-com-panion, Mediterranean, at the turn. Hers the field swung' wide, and 'Tina Toa slipped up on-the rails. When the favourite had disposed of him, Prancer appeared on the outside, and in a sensational finish, Deeley's mount, Prarioer, was only defeated by a head. . ■■■ The success of the .favourite..in the opening event emboldened backers to ligain take the short price on offer in the next event.. This time their choice ivas Multiple, who had-Jenkins in tho saddle. , ( Nothing else came in for any support,' and, despite the mud, backers .would "not hear of the defeat of .the Multiform . horse. -' The start. was a good one, and the favourite was first out, but was- immediately'supplanted by Kareroa, who. led' down the back. Across the bottom- Multiple" was. again out by himself, and he was not again headed, winning comfortably by two lengths. .Dervish was a-length in .front of Kareroa, , . and Tanekaha was nest. .;■ :' .;. -' ' • ■■' ■■',■■•■ ■' . ...

■ In the Maiden .Plate, backers plumbed.for the Forirua filly, Dearest, while Vibration, who has shown 'winning form,, was-nest,in demand. .', A slight bustle took placei;,at the baTrier, due to Lord' Kilcheran's front; legs becoming looted in V.ama!s bridle.:. ; When ,they were / disentangled. and the jockeys 'remounted, a good start-was etfectedj and immediately Vibration' and- Dearest .went'-to the front.,' Lares, ran upV at the .turn, but -could not' sustain .'his. run. Vibration was then 'challenged by Merry ■Frank, but;, he s stalled ..■ the challenge off, and won by a neck','with Varna clear of . : the" : rest of the -field.. .The;winner's rider lost both irons soon after the start, but : : he was able .to weigh in correctly.

The betting'public were unable to find a favourite, in the Welter Hack Handicap,, and speculation'..was, ■ in consequence, . igreatly-restricted.; The start was a,'good one',' but Ra'ngikura : soon, wenfito the fro'nt,y'and-]cd'-to-the- three furlongs,.; where , tlie■ .field closed ;.■ up. The cplours of ■' Tor" point and/Pranoer ; were/conspicuous'at the" , turn,\ but' his earlier effort told on Prancer, aivl bu 'died'away.'.' Tor'point'was' challenged by Rangikapua ; in the ''straight, I but the last-named was: xmable to,get up, and was beatieii-. by. a ■ coupto ; <>f lengths, with 'llangikura ,a. neck. ■ away.' v '■'

Te' Ru, who had been handicapped ; as.;,a : .'ihaiden* performer, through' having apyearod' in the-official list as Turu, was regarded as .the best of good things in the Hack Hurdles, and he won 'as he. likedv ■';,', Hawick'. was • running / with him at the six furlongs .post,- but he ■went through,. a':' fence,- and' ; unseated his rider: .Down, the back stretch Rose-' grove and .Maliarariui tried' t<) run. up to- thejeader, but if was of no avail as ho outjumped- them at every fence. ;a By :the -time, that the..last race came on the. course and grounds were, a sea 'of"mild, the. rain was falling heavily,, "and people'were leaving. ?..The.start was a' fair' onej and: the competitors .were quickly floundering hi a heap. : NukuhaU: made the' best sliow.ing iu- the. mud; and : won all iho'.way; , .\ •'.
