Going round tho first turn Odessa took the lead, and led \n\*l tho mile post," closely followed l>y Meudip and Coromandel, with Masterpiece fourth and Midnight Sun last. The order was much tho same going'down the back, excopt that Masterpiece ran patt C'oromaudel, and Midnight Sun improved his position. Odessa led into the straight, just ahead.of Masterpiece, smd Midnight Sun. Odessa retained his lead, and won by a length and a. half from Midnight Sun, who wns two lengths ahead of MastorpiDce. Mendip was fourth, and Flin.got fifth. Time, 2niin.' Osec. crrr handicap, of 300 sots, six furlongs. 1 Mr. J. Buckley's br. m. Dearest, by Soult (imp-)— Lady Hester, ivrs., Bst. 31b. (B.

' From a straggling start Gladiole was tho first to show out, but Outward sopuheaded her, and led from Gipsy Be lie Wind the bottom bend. At the jialtmile tho order was: Outward, Gipsy Belle, Full Bate, Gladiolf, Kohinoor, and Dearest. As they entered tho Straight the two leaders were in trouble, and Gladiole vent to tho front. With, a furlong to go, Deeley got tho favour--Ho through on the rails, and, in a short space ho put the race beyond doubt. Full Rate came very fast.in tho straight, and was clear of tbo others, but he had no chance with the winner, uoyat Scotch finished very fast, and just beat Gladiole for third place. Outward and Gipsy Belle were the next to finish. Time, lmin. 15sec. HOW THEY RACED. GRAY'S FINE FEAT ON STYX.' Odessa, was withdrawn from the Wallacevillo Welter Handicap, for which there were soven runners. Beacon was made a good favourite, but, though ho appeared to be going nicely at fho turn, he had no chanco at the finish with Nylaud's half-brother, Mallard, who registered the sixth victory for the Highden colours at tho meeting. The winner is not nearly at his best yet, and should be capable of further good performances as the season goes on.

All the acceptors went to the post, for the Melrose Welter Handicap. The Highden horsns were having such a run of success that Bronze was immediately installed favourite. Patriotic, with Deeley in the saddle, was also well backed, but, though she got well away, she was beaten out of a place at the finish. Bronze was in a nice position behind the leaders on entering, the. straight, and, finishing in her usual resolute style, she won comfortably. St. Felix, who was neglected in the betting on account of his poor showing on the two previous days, ran more generously yesterday, and easily..beat all but the/'winner- .gavo a lot of trouble at the. start, but she got away fairly well, and led for six furlongs, eventually finishing third.

H. Gray's serious illness has not interfered with his form in the saddle, for he rode a magnificent finish on Styx in the Hopeful Stakes. The Achilles colt, who was a warm favonrite.'/drew : Nq;M' position'a.t the barrier, ■buty'as the- ■■'horse? moi'eil" off, ho was not fast enough to keep his position, aadMrrftwl bUtfcMfittf also met serions trouble at the'turn, but half-way up the straight he was seen coming fast on tho outside, though his chance of overhauling the leader (Glade) looked remote , . Gray' rode him vigorously with hands and hoels until about twenty yards off the post, when he gave him a" couple of smart cuts with, the whip. Styx responded with every stride, and just got up in time to satisfy his numerous backers. Gray's effort was one of the finest exhibitions of honanansliip seon at tho meeting.

Tho field that went to the post for the bummer Handicap was one of the best that competed in any event on the three davs. tquitas, who can always claim a large tollowmg at Trentham, was installed favourite,/while Ireland and Nvland were also well supported. Good judges tgured it but that Ireland would be just as last as Lquitas over the first six furlongs, and that the latter would be unable to finish with the Kilcheran colt when the straight, was reached owing to the big difference in the weights. This proved to be the case. Deeley got Ireland well , away, and set a very solid pace, and though Bciuitas retained second place for over soven furlongs, she never appeared to trouble the Kilcheran colt, who bowled along freely iu front, and had two lengths advantage when the judge's box was reached. Tho heavy weight told on Equitas over the last half-furlong, and she was just beaten out of a place Kauroa, Nyland, and Miscount finishing almost in lino with the Advance mare. Undecided again scarcely ran up to expectations. - ' ■ ■

The Selling Plate . was generally. voted a really good-race for the South Island representative, All Guns, but Big Blast and Ballyshannon each had a fairly lkrge following. Tho actual race was a very one-sided affair, All Guns leading all the way,' and winning just as easily as. Naumai had done in the Disposal Stakes pn Monday. After the race the winner was submitted to auction, .and knocked down for. 105 guineas to Mr. J; Waiwera.

In view of Sanguinary's two good performances on the opening day of the meeting it did not seem feasible thnt hhe would bo beaten in the Kaitoke Han-dicap,--and, when Oliver's name 'was hoisted as her pilot, the black filly was at ouce installed a warm favourite. Aratiatia (Achilles— Momokai), from the Ponrua stable, was second in demand, but, to the chagrin of backers, he was left at the post, and took 110 part in the race. Umma made the running for the first half-mile, but tho favourite was always handy, and won • comfortably at tho finish. With the exception of Kauroa, who finished second in'the Summer Handicap, Emma was the biggest outsider payijoi,' a dividend during the three davs. .' . ' ,

Experience has- proved that Masterpiece improves., with, a race in public, and, .consequently, his defeat in the Consolation Handicap yesterday may be. attributed to the fact that -ho 'did/not sport eilk. on the opening days of the fixture. ' Had hp had a race, on Satur-. day or Monday, it is probable that he would have done something, better than fiuish third, behind Odessa and Midnight Sun. The last-named had the worst of tho luck during the race, for ];o was on tho outside when the barrier lifted, and was crowded out into last position at the first turn, whereas Odessa secured a nice position, which enabled him to win. it was seen that the lastnientioncd horto.had becu scratched for the Hack Welter Handicap early in the day, many expressed the opinion that it. was a certain stake thrown "iiw.ny.' As event* proved, however, Mr. 11. Whitney showed guod judgment in reserving the son of St. Ambrose for the .Consolation Handicap.. Flingot, who ran ii good race in the Cup on Saturday, was well backed on tho strength dJ' that showing, but his chance was prejudiced by the fact that his rider lost a stirru'p-irou during the'-rucc. .

After sumo spirited wagering in the concluding ovorit, the machine closed down with Dearest a solid favourite. There' was the usual delay iif Iho barrier owing to Full Kate, Hennia, and Gipsy Bellp -jivinjr trouble, and Iho lastnamed was sent from No 1 position lo the outside of the field. This no doubt nffpctwl her chances, and, though she ran well, she never onco got to (ho, front. Dearest hail a clear passage the. whole way, and won easily at the finish. Tioyal Scotch came from a lonjr way back, and, had'ho been more favourably placed in .the-early, stapes of .the race, he must have troubled the winner. Full Kate ran his best ra<o for soiiio linn , , but Gladiolo .was disappointing, and

failed to finish with her usual flush. Jfr. ,1. Buckley wa.- not I'rcaont to .-co Dearest win, liiiviiiß licrn called to Uiunimi on the previous evening.
