'i.Tlip Karamu stable 'usually; has a representative ;'in the Spring Trial:Stak*s at Trentbam. This year Kathara was' entered, but went lame after the fir&t day's'-racing, and had- to bo withdrawn,;' ■\yiien.the whole ~of the scrafchings were announced, there wore'-.' only. six runners left. Merrie Frank was the best backed, but after jumping off smartly he was unable to go at the re* quired' pace over the first couple of furlongs, and drifted, back to last. He camo through on the rails at the home turn, and beat all but Inspection, who did. riot appear to have anything to •spare at- the finish, -Deploy showed lots';of .pace in.the-early part pf the race, .but was not seasoned enough to sep the distance out. ... Wimmera's form in tho Wellington Handicap on the-first day, when,ho led for': a milo and';finished third,'pointed to his being almost certain topwin the Pearce Handicap, of which the distance was. only a mile, and in which the two horses .'that- had beaten Wimmera on tho 'first ;: day "were not engaged. Backers accordingly made him favourite, with. Iranui,.. .Sir Tristram, arid, Llanwern• next ;in /demand. With his' U3ual brilliancy, Wimmera was soon in front,-and retained.command till the finish, stalling, off several successive challenges.in the straight. Iranui got away badly, and after running' into 1 second position in the straight, tired again and finished out of a place. Star Lass, who ran off when sho was kading in the steeplechase on Wednesday, was made favourite for the Scc- ! ond Steeplechase, but she parted cotn- ' pany with.her rider: at.the.second fence, '■ when running second. Rosogrovo next came down, and Castout, when leading, failed to negotiate tho stpnp wall. \ Hill Lass .then—took charge, but she camo down at the fenco six furlongs l from homo, and Mahara went to the front, The last-named was challenged ! by St. Amelia, but proved too good for .tho St. Hippo mare._ ..Mahara has been 5 : very' consistent iii his: recent races, arid, iij is surprising that ha was-not favour--1 ite on; Saturday. He is trained by J,

Cameron, formerly a very successful cross-country horseman in Now Zealand and Australia. @ Before going out for the Champion Plato, Danube was viewed by a largo orowd of tho spectators. There' was never any doubt ahqut his boing favourite, and as a matter'of fact lie carried more money on tho machine than any other .candidate that competed at the meeting. Still Lady Medallist had plenty of admirers and she looked quite as fit as tho Ynldhurst champion. Mr. O'Connor sent tho.five candidates off to ' a good start, and Lady Medallist immediately set out to make the pace fast. Half; a milo from home she had a good lead and as sho'theii drew farther away tho.crowd commenced to proclaim her victory. Entering the straight she was still going iyell, out tho favourite was going better, and ho caught tho maro at'the half distance. Jenkins mado. a final, effort on Lady Medallist, but it was unavailing. It was undoubtedly a nieritbrious win on tho part of-Danube as the paco was on all-tho way. His game'ness. was thoroughly tested as ho had a lot of ground to. make up and ho responded most generously to his rider's.: call. In the Ruahino Handicap, Directqire, from..' $h©.; Yaldhurst. stable, w;as mado . a slightly 'better favourite -than Turna, but neither gained a place. .'Lbngstep madolall the running and looked like winning., until Rongomai came with a late'run-in the. last hundred yards. Ebonite .and Merry Time, hoth mado • creditable'showings. ■■'.' Provocation being withdrawn from the last race, Gipsy Bello was the public selection, while Hohungatahi, "■.. Theo-. dore, and Bally Shannon were' all well supported. Strange enough, not one of ; these four gained a place. The three first named", were all prominent at tho straight entrance,; but ran;,wide, and Penza, Sea Queen, and Humming ( Bird raced up on the inside aiijl'-filled tho places... ' ; ' •.
