Tho weather was fine, but windyj arid tlvo attendance was good. ■ The totalisator* investments for the- day were £18,436, tho total ■ for I life meeting idb,l4l,- an increase of £2010 over the corresponding meeting last vear. , Jackman was /much' better supported in tlio. Hurdleis to-day and lie ran a greatly-improved race,'but at the end Hiua' ran past him. as if he was standing still. Hidden again filled third lilace,- just clear of Katiia, who failed to carry his increased poundage. Hum jumped better and his rider handled Jnm better by not making too much use of him.

Poronilla was .clear of the held as they raced into a line for home, but theij several challenged her, amLaftor'a-great finish' Bertrada boat her by a head, Patronale was just better than Gladiolo. ,

Styrax was tlio best liked in tie Farmers Plato,-' and he duly landed the stake. Alia, who was also well supported, broke: a blood-vessel and was R ,4 U P-. Styrax was in command at the half-mile and won easily. Pikitaepa, just beat 'Timothy for second place. Bronze, Allegation, and Stepney were the public choice .in the big handicap.It was a very different race to tho Cup the pace" was on from -tho word go. . Peroneal and Allegation ,jod the held past the stand. Going round the top they spread badly and at the six hirldiigs Allegation had a big break on' Bronze, Emperador, and Stepney. At tho half-mile the'latter division had moved up, but Allegation still led as they entered the straight, and, stalling on: a challenge by . Stepney, won by a bare length. Emperador just beat Stepney for second place. Bronze was right fourth. : Con the Shaughraun got lett and was in the rear the whole way. Considering the nature of the going tho .time was very good. Calais and Carloman were "tho goods" ln; tho Maiden' Hack Scurry. 'They ran hrst and third, being split by Patronata. lbo winner was always in a, good position, and never,looked other than a winner. Ho is a fine big gelding, not nearly ready, and may. improve a lot. Carlo-man-is only a two-year-old, and it was a big order asking him to meet the win-' ner on even terms.

Only four runners- faced tlio barrier ill the Hawera Stakes; but tho betting' was very heavy. . Riwipoto . had the call, and then carno- Sir Mosclcj*, Los Angelos, arid Ermengarde in that order. Ermengarde set a. very fast pace, and Rewipoto went out to cut her down. At t.ie six-furlong post Los Angelos was tailed off, but. he then moved 1 up, and was alongside Ermengarde and Rewi Poto as they raced into the straight, rho aged chestnut then carao away by himself, and won very comfortably. Sir Moseley struggled on well and got!second, place.' Rewipoto was two lengths away; and a like distance separated Ermengarde.-' This, winner .-was. allowed' to pay a false price.- • •t Powder, Fox and Royal Loot? were withdrawn from t'lio Hack Race, and the public made Paoli and Play Off the favourites, Wild Lupin took charpo at the turn into the straight, -and'-"resisting" strong -by-Pla-y • GH-and'Paoli"-lio won by a head.'
