The Egmont Eacing Club's Summer Meeting- Ooeneo 1 ' at tho' Kawera course to-day, Heavy ra,in fell, during .tho ear.ly morning, but tho> weather cleared later, arid with- the,exception of some slight Bhowers, remained favourable. The trnok was in.good order, and there was a large attendance present. .'■ The totalisator investments amounted to i!17,7G5 10s., an increaso of i!SS7 10s..over the corresponding day last- year. -The racing was good, and tho Egnioht Stakes provided a splendid oontest. • The Cup was spoilt-by the middling pace set; : and,'the -field, fairly crawled for the. first mile. ,• ' After working lit the-'-morning, ruanui. was found to bo iamb'in the shoulder, and he had to bo withdrawn from the Hurdles,'for. which Jackmari.was a slightly better ; favourite than Hitia. The favourite-went to the front'for six furlongs,, but Hrita took charge there, and was accompanied by Katua. The latter went to tho front'two fences from home, and, wdn comfortably. Huia was a length clear of-Highderi at tho finish.'- . Several .of:the starters wero well.supported "in the Flying Handicap. Ermen-• garde iyas- most -fancied, but she got badly stopped,after going two furlongs, arid was sent back last. Adroit and St. the early running -from Astor. • Across the-bottom the last-iiamed was under a. strong, pull, and, ■ taking charge at .the distance, he won-bV-a, neok frdm Adroit. St. Gate was.third, and Grattan, who got out out at ,tho barrier, rise, fourth., Tho latter seemed'to be the unlucky horse of thefield. 7 .',... . ~ Some diversion' was caused before the start of the' Hack Eac6 by Fair .Helen tineeating her rider, ■' and : then > cannoning into the elerk of the : conr£e; with tho result that both horses' and riders :werO sprawling on tho ground, but with no ill effects. , Powder Fox,, Toa Terc. and Flay Off were the best supported, and tho'fi'rstnamed.'.takirig...charge 1 two furlong's, from home, .'stalled off a, gocd effort by-Play Off, arid won by a neck. Tyson vvas m the van-most of the tfay, and finished third. Then came Gnlteo and Epworth. .-■ Byron was. tho eleventh hour withdrawal from the Cup, leaving eight runners. At- tho start, a, crawling pace ;was eet, and the.field, was whipped by Emperador and Los Angelos., Passing the stand the order was St. Bets, Bronze, Mulga Bill.' and Allegation. Going/out df the .straight Emperador and Los Angelos cannoned into each other, : and - the Jast-nahied got all the Worstiof iti -Going down the back Con the, Shaughraun joined St. .. Bees, ■■■ and--.

'The . slow. p'ace'set' suited Emperador: to a nicety, but Los Arigelos may have reversed the position with nim hilt .for a very bhd-rnri during the race, arid Loonta, the favourite, failed badly, but Bronze, .finished up her-task well, and as she also' met with interference in the straight it may be that she should-have won. Sohie surprise'was expressed .that the officials asked-no questions lifter the race. , .
