NOTES ON THE RACING,

(By Telegraph—Special OorrospondenU Hastings, June 18. Fine, frosty weather. was experienced at Bastings for tho opening of the Hawked Say winter meeting. A record attendance i-.s present, but the racing, though full ,f incident, was not of a nature calculated to arotisc enthusiasm. The country proved too difficult for a large majority sf the jumpers, and the wliolo of. the Uceolechases were won by big margins. TfcKaramu stable provided the winner of both the hurdle raccs. Bollm and Peary were the horses, and they each won decisively. F°r * Pearl's performance was a particularlj Pl Thewin of The Spaniard in the Hawke's Bay Steeples was well received; .He look- ?. a much improved horse for his race at Vangamii, and had the result at his mercy at any stage. His owner, Mr. . Armstrong, a popular steward of the club! has owned the .K e j! lin ?. f or rn ?p°)!p three years, but this is the fiist race lie | ''Though falls were numerous throughout the day, one pleasing circumstance was that nono of the riders were hurt. One of them. J. O'C'onnell, had four rides "hi f tho Hack Steeples Daylight Bill, Hawick, and Supreme were supported in that order. Of the eleven runners only (our completed the course. At the start Hawick led from Daylight Bill, with the others stretched out. Easy was the first to come down, the double proving too much for him. 'Passing the stand Daylight Bill had a good lead, bat he crashed into the first ffence. At the double, where Supreme ran off, the leading division was Hawick, Castlo Canter, and ■tauter. The last-mentioned two ctaMut

at the back, but Ranter ran off at the gorso at the railway bend, and Castle Canter won by a big stretch. Reservoir finished fast and beat Hawick for second place; Elwell, who was left badly, was the only other horso to finish. Silva was pulled up, and Wirral fell at the sod wall tho second time round. The winner paid a very big price for his investors.

A big field contested tlje Ladies' Bracelet. The machine suggested a victory for Coronetteil with Kooya next. Tlicy finished first and third, and were parted by Kopu, who rau a good race under his big weight, but was made rather much ush of. Tho winner is very forward, and won in a winter. Kopu w.is very sore on pulling up, but Kooya stuck to her task well, and may do better under a lighter scale of weights.

Tho Hawke'sßay Hurdles was a fastrun race, ami interesting throughout. At the start Chief Marshal got knockid down and took no part in the race. Nyland led over the first jump, and mndu tho pace very warm for one mile and a quarter, when he gave way to Player and Ngatimaru, but tho, field, with the exception of Aema, was close up. At tho half-mile Bollin rushed to the front, and Player went with him. The Karauiu gelding had too much .pace for tho others, and won nicely. Goodwin Park was close up third, and Nyland finished tho _ best of the others. The Rover was prominent for a time, but ho is not nearly ready. Stevens was well up for about one mile and a half, when he dropped out of it. Windage was also ons of the forward division for about the 6ame distance, but Flingot never flattered his backers at any stage of the journey. The big steeplechase was tho same disappointing raoe it has been during the last five years or more. Tho Spaniard and R-ebel were* the only horses to complete the course without failure and Leolan tor and Tyrannic were the only others to finish. At tho first doublo Donzel and Bravest fell, and Mount Cook ran off. Sunray came down at the next fence, and thq field was now hopelessly strung out, and led by The Spaniard and Leolanter. Tyrannic fell at tho Hencoop, the second time round, but was remounted, and finished the course in fourth place. Over the last mile The Spaniard always hail Leolanter in trouble, and won all the .way. Leolanter turned over ■at the last fence, but the bystanders threw Futcher into the saddle again and ho got second place. Rebel was a long way back third. The ICaramu stable provided the winner of the Hack Hurdles in the big Birkenhead gelding Peary, who was in a good position throughout, and, jumping well, won nicely at the finish from Rill, who also gave.a good exhibition for a novice. The favourite, Morning, fell at the second fence, and at tho seven furlongs lhrave also went down when in front. Tho remaining steeplechase, the .Hunt Cup, was won "lor the fifth year in succession by The Chief, but he was very lucky. The favourite was the Waverleyowned Invent, who led throughout, but his saddle twisted approaching the last fence, and tho chestnut, striking a hurdle, sent O'Connell out of the saddle. Master Webb, who was alongside of him, also fell, but the riders were uninjured. Tho Chief, who was a long way back, then came on anil won nicely. Tho concluding event, though started well to time, was run in a heavy fog, and it was impossible to pick up the runners until the railway bend was negotiated. Here Axis was in charge from Amber , and White, and the favourite, Diavolo. The latter took charge with a furiosi; to go, but then Deeley. rattled up alongside him on Vi, and in an interesting finish ' won by a neck. Mysteriach, who ran very: wido on, tho bond* was closo up third.
