Patronalo'.Tras made favourite in tho opening event,' with Cheddar next in demand. . .Tho last-named, showed to advantage and creditec} his new first :win.\ , Racing down was -badly placed, him-'iiito ;a; liice position -iu -the straight, shot Afcety,..' . Stepney -made sis furlongs, when: Austin displaced 'Jiim, biit in the 'straight Cheddar smothered everything. • 'L'a- | tronale ran badly again. Merry . Frank was fourth and Stepney fifth,;. ;

Deeley was put up on His'torietto to-' ?%y>-r3ufcth6. public mado the Achilles ■mire syihot favourite. Princess Moutoa "aria Aratiatia were also well supported. Tbo last-named led for a furlonjsr; whenl jPowder Fox headed bim. 1 At the half-way, Historiett-e was badly placed, but she. got a good run through, •and in the'end won bleverly by a length from Lubriline, with Firing Lino a length away. Aratiatia, Avaunce, and .Powder' Fox finished in a bunch, with j Firing Line. ' •.; The wholb.of the acceptors, faced the <t{UTier..< in I the Jackson The , top weight was much on tho big side, and bis forelegs were 1 - encased .in cotton wool. Gipsy Bolle stripped very wall, as "did Reputation, b.uti tho latter was cbitgliin^'.'. Emperador was a ball _o£ muscle, and he started favourite, with Kepiittitioh .;imd; 'UaiidietaVm that order. iK"perfeot 'start' saw Gladiolo first out, and'she led a bundled'field to tho four furlongs, whero Rencontre shot to- tho frontj' ::Up to this stage the race .had been a pretty one, and there was:;iiot the. seriiblauce of, a bump. Round'tlie bejvd'EiripertidQi: came'from behindhand raced alongside Bandiora, and • Gipsy Belle was' ; just behind Ermeiigarde,' who wai led b.y;ilcncontre. The latter |j.uhg otft a bifcat the/turn, and EmperVdor entile fast on the outside. ' lip ' the straight' he fairly' bolted,away,' and'won from Rencontre, with Gladioli two lengths away, followed by, Gippy Belle', Roputation, Ermengarde, Bandiera. It was the fastest race of, the meeting. Reputation, as usual, was slow'to begin, - and then bad to.-,go j round the field. . This, of course, spoilt his chances. Gipsy Belle was put: into the fenco three furlongs from home,, and Bandiera also suffered a bump atvthe same time.' Ho broke down. badly,;at this point, but struggled,on well to'tho turn. After the race he could hardly walk, and his dayß on. the racecoiirse are-probably over. : The Rover was debarred from starting in tho Open . Hurdles, and Kurnalpi was also withdrawn. Timothy was niado a hot favourite,',and lie led most of tho way, but be iva;s always worriod by Mcrrie Lad, and over the last quartbr of a mile Cornelian came along and wore liim down. Emoco was twenty lengths off, third. Merrio Lad fell at the last fence, and liis rider received concussion. _ * l :

Aruako was all the rago in the Hack Hurdles, and ho won very easily. . Waipaku, ,went'; W : it}v liim for. half ;.a mile, but she' Wits "then _shaikeii off. At tho four furlongs, St. Gate ran up to tho favourite, but lie was easily disposed of, and tho Chasseur gelding won very comfortably. Waipaku was a length awa.v from l!ii fl;r.

•The 'AVanganui'Stakes in years : gone by has provided many this contest was no exception to tlio rule. Sir Solo was made a good favour'ito. At the start Marshal Mac Donald led Tor a furlong. Ho was then pulled in behind, 'and Bon Ton rushed out to •tlio front. , '.Entering 'tho straight ho" was'-joined by Moutoa Girl, and the pair led Angelos by two lengths.passing the stand. The, next division was bundled, and was headed by Marshal Mac Donald, and 1 whipped by Sea Pink and Lconta. At the six furlongs post tlio leaders were still 'tho «ame, but Tiresome and Lconta were moving up. At the life furlongs post Tiresomo and lJionzo ,foll, and Conquest,-the.rider of Tiresome, was badly hurt. At tlm halfmile post the liold was bunched, and vouud tlio bend the positions were unchanged. 9 Then Los Angelos hung a hit, and Marshal Mac Donald got up 011 the fence. As tlioy entered tlio straight Hon Ton and Moutoa Girl wero joined •bv Leonta, Los Angelos, and Marshal 'Mac Donald. A roynl .struggle, then ensued. , Tho.top woight was the first to. ory "go;"'but the other' four battled 011'. Los Angelos next retired, and tlio remaining trio pasfted tlio post in a line'. Mr. Lowry's colt got tlio verdict by;half.a head, with Moutoa Girl a head away, and Los Angelos next. Canute 'was backed down to a very short price, in tlio Harrison Hack Handicap. He led practically throughout, and credited Mr. (1. D. Greenwood with his third win during the afternoon. Centenary W" 8 in front at the bottom bend, but tflien Young- gave Caimte his head .ho. went away from the field. Kimboinbi was a head in front of >'f|iuiro Denl. Centenary and White Crane follcftfed ill that order. Vl'lie concluding oveiit saw S'<mc very heavy betting. Kauci finished up favourite, but tho bracket (Bertradn and (Jerberirn) was also heavily supported. The Yaldhurst gelding jumped back at the start, and with 11 furlong gono lie was lieirip iiard' 1 ridden in the rear of the field.' At tho half-mile Q rattan was showing' tlie.way. to l'avlova, and tho 'rest wero bunched. Sauci then put in a wonderful run 011 tho outside, and was iii third position at tho bottom of the straight. Then l'avlova took charge, and Snuei challenged, but the Porirua •mare held her own, and won by half a length.' Urattaii was two lengths off.

Bertrada got a bad bump at the lialfmilo, and was knocked back last. DETAILED RESULTS. (By Telesrash.—Precs Association.) Wanganui, February 28.
