CAPTAIN JINGLE'S GREAT WIN. MAGDALA'S CUP. ' : TBIUMPH FOB TKACK WATCHERS.' -(tJ.r Telegraph—Spccial Eeporter.)

Christchurch, August 13. Grand National Ste-epkehase day was gloriously fine, and not a cloud was seen all day; : A record crowd -turned up at B.iccarton, and worci rewarded with a great day's, sport' Tho , new lota'.isator houso did not provo to be the success anticipated, and long delays occurred in the, postings of tho dividends. This sometimes anrjuuU'd to considerably over lin.lt' an hour, and naturally it had the effect of crampiug speculation on the following oveiiti. Correct, cards sold out early in tlio da} - , and there was a general growl from people who were unable to ,phrchatti them.

Icel, who came from Auckland with a big reputation, anil Forward, who showed good form at Gisborne, were the favourite solcctions in tho Hunter*' Hurdles. The former is a poor jumper, und this got him into trouble -sovera! timc-a oil" tho voyage. Forward looked to have -tho race in safe keeping whun she g«st into tho fence at the iivo furlongs post and wont right back. Sho ■ finished on well, and was alongside Icel at the finish, tho pair being just behind the placed horses. Over the last, fence Hakari, who is one of J. Hathawny's Awapuni team, tackled Don Kubyl, and in a good finish Jleagher ■li'ivo him home by n neck. The' Trial Hurdle?, which is generally regarded as paving tho way for tho .Grand National, Hurdles, was this year .N-on by a horeo that is not engaged in the big race. This was Beacon, who gave a faultless exhibition of jumping, .and was in charge tho whole way. Coronotted, who was a sound favourite, was second at the final obstacle, but he tired badly in the run home. He fenced poorly; and 'Oil that showing can be written out of tho National. Bourrasque was running. wc-U three furlongs from homo, but he afterwards stopped to nothing. The. field strung out for over a furlong, and several of the runners retired whel! it was seen (hat pursuit was hopeless." Waikarnlta and Flingot lest their, riders during tho race. • The Bover won tlw Jumpers' Flat Baco iit a. luo-fc commanding .-tvlo, and is now at a very short pi'iee for the big liuvdles mi Thursday. At the. start Uranium led J\<--ran and White Cockade, witli tho others thrown off. Tlic pace was very • fast tho who'f way, and the baok division were, unable to go with flip leaders. At the six furlongs The Bover reduced "i'.'- lead Uranium had. Pri"e.' riding mtet confidently, then "st still until tit. homo turn was negotiated. In tho straight the Advance gelding was allowed his head, and then came a,way and 110 c comfortably. 'Iho time ivcorded is a really pood ga.Uop, and when Trainer i .1 , f'Efht declared Iho horse to bo " , T," ,is year than last he was no doubt right. ,I K>l ' !,t of Tipv '. tin;' uran.l Steeplechase -vns one of linest races over seen on tho Piccurtou four»p. Nt tho Inst fouw four lior.-os wore m a hue. Thoy had po -over' fiwo! twc.w.fj,fbiiss. In iht! b ; rdCnptnin Jnijric looked rough in t:he r/r-nr, Lilt Hi'i-s u'/is only.to he oxnfictcd in a F{mdocl:-tnvnod horse. Con tin uaiico was bntrht and musculnv, but in point of eourbhon nothing- could compare with • Paritntu and Armagh. Tha last-named rail a irreai race, but his stable companion Hautero disgraced himself. Continuance was in trouble one miln ami a half from homo, ami' at this point it baked u good tlnjif ■far .Captain Jingle and Paritutn as th'.dividend, payers. Certainly Glou'nio.-e "w,i.s.in front and H.aivii'k. was a'loiigside' •tlio other pair, but it y.-n- a t-1-";ro. and Glenii'.ote nnd'Hawiclc were really . Captain- • .Tingle gavfr-.a •faiiltleis- exhibition of jumping, and so did Continuance, till ho punch.ee! YciiaiL

out of the'saddle. Parilutu did not fence well, but tic made up for it in a largo measure by his great pace on tho flat. Had ho had a race since Auckland there may have been a different tale to toil, l'or a maiden, Hawick certainly gave an impressive performance. Glennuire's condition stood to him in the long run, but ho is hardly class entnigh. Continuanco cut- liiniicl f about a good deal when ho tell, and is_ unlikely to race again at tlio meeting. From a good filart, Sir Lethe and Continuance led to the first fence, where Sir Lethe lost his rider. At the st-and doubii: Continuance, Parilutu, Hawick, 'I'e Tua, and The Gunner were in close order, but running out of the straight and The Gunner drew out clear, followed by Glenmore nnd Hawick. At Cutts's fence Continunnco, The Gunner, Glenmore, and Ilawiek were ■ together, si\ lengths in front of Te Tun and Paritutu. Captain-Jingle and Armagh were six lengths further back. Te Tua lost his rider at Cutts's. and at the sod-wall Con linuaneo, Glenmore; and The Gunner were six lengths out in front of Hawick, with Parilutu next, some distance in front of Captain Jingle and Armagh. On reaching tho Kennels donbie Continuance was two lengths dear of The Gunner and Glenmore, who were six lengths in front of Hawick and Paritutu, with Captain Jingle a few lengths further back, Racing for tho straight, where Glenmore and Continuance were in charge, Captain Jingle moved fast. At the stand double Glenmore had a lead of six lengths from Continuance, who was just clear of Paritiitu, Hawiclc, Captain Jingle, and Armagh, with Tho Gunner next and Hautero and Zante a long way back. Hautere hit tho second of the stand double, but his rider made a good recovery. At Cutts's, Glenmore was showing clear of Armagh and Hawick. Ou reaching tho post and rails, where. Continuance lost bis rider, Captain Jingle had drawn away three , lengths from Armagh and Paritutn, nud theso three were together at the sod wall, where Armagh made a bad jump. Captain Jingle was first into the straight, and he ran home a coinfortablo winner by four lengths from Paritutu, who beat Armagh by a length for second place, with Uawick two lengths away, and Glenmore soiiio distance further back.

The Tally-Uo Plato was (ho usual affair of a couple of hunters finishing the course a furlong ahead of a. couple of others, with the rest fa.llon by the wayside. Wheturangi, who was a groat hp in the paddock, slipped into the first fence and camo down. The winner turned up in I'tikeroa, who jumped well and who was at a big advantage in having had somo racing in the north. Tho result of the Winter Cup was a. triumph for the track-watchers, as tho winner had done tho best gallop on the morning before tho race. With such a big field,-it was only to be expected that ;onio difficulty would be experienced in jetting them away. Sea Queen and 11 rand Slam, gave a little bother at tho oarrier, but after. one false start they rant off fairlv well. Leapuki, Stcpmetsr, Hid Grand fjlam were the most prominent. Across the bottom of tho courso VII. Victoria and Sea Queen were in the •oar, while Prosper had run into fourth ilace. Stepnicter and leapuki were both n trouble at,the distance, and Magdala. pok charge. Holding tho opposition at »y, he ran in a winner by a length rorn Prosper, who was a neck in front of 'sa Queen, with Xgalimuni, Ladrone, jo, Reina, and Martine next. Tho third iorsf. was the unlucky ouc of tho field, ud had she been,better plac-ed in the arly part of the race she would have ron easilv.

Tim Enfield Steeplechase was. an interesting race, the result being, in doubt up till a few strides 1 off the post. Several of the runners failed to complete the course. Tyrannic, tho favourite, -jumpedbadly tho whole way. Donzel ran on at tho fence opposito Cutts's, and Tui Cakobau followed him. Jlakiri, St. Amelia, and Kelp Wero in the leading division the whole way, and setting a very merry pace, Host of the others either camo down or ran off. In the run home Jlakiri tired badly, and Stonn Ginger, finishing strongly, got up in the last few strides ond headed Kelp. St. Amelia was three lengths off, and then came Jlakiri, The Chief, and Guirteen, who wore the only oh'-s fb 1 'cduiplete the course/ • •' '-'•J,".', Taketunm and Query were the only horscs fancied in the concluding event, and they finished first l and second, with only a head between thein. - The winner got a very lucky run on the rails, or she would have been second. Brown Trout was a long way back third.
