HAWKE'S BAY MEETING,

DEAD HEAT IN THE. HAWKE'S BAY STAKES. BIG HANDICAP WON BY EXPECT. (By Telegraph.—Sjecial Oorroraomlent..) Hastings, May 7. The Hawko's Bay Jockcy Club's Autunjn Meeting concluded to-day: Tim weather was fine, except for a short period, when rain fell. The attendance was again largo, and the club's ne>v appointments came in for much' favourable comment. Tlio totalisator handled £20,641, as compared with £16,244 for the corresponding day last year. The total for tho two days i5'£44,29", as against £31,673 for the last Autumn Meeting. Two horses with supposed National credentials Wero seen out in the Hack Hurdles. Tlieso were Golden Water and Chortle, and the latter was made a cood favourite. Golden Water fell' at the first fence, while Chortlo jumped beautifull", and by the time tho second obstaclo was roached ho was out by himself. At no stage of the race were the others within twenty lengths of him, and, jumping well, he ran in tho easiest of winners. After tho rsmo his National prospects wcro freely discussed. There is'no doubt that he is useful, but the class behind him to-daj did not allow of him being tried at all, and it may bo a very different matter with a good horse at him the whole', way. Still, lie can improve a lot, and his trainer thinks most highly of him. -Bodenham and' Sir. Alba were fancied in that order for tho Okawti Hack Handicap, in which the candidates had to be ridden by apprentices.' pair were'well placed in the early part, but the former could not stay on, and Sir Alba bad a comfortnblo win from Mysteriuiu, with". Piirsefiller-third, and .tho favourite fourth. \ i The Whole of the acceptors lined up for tho Hawke's Bay Stakes. The Hon. J. D. Ormond started three, but this was the only brackot. Pariform started a good favourite, but a little bad luek .at the barrier beat him out of half of the stake. : At the start Hymettius soon'' shot out, witlr a good lead, and at the end of a furlong his stable companion, Daytime, ran into second place, with Sir Moseley next. Round the railway bend, Sauci and Pariform . both raced past Sir Moseley. Entering tho straight, Hymettius had Daytimo on his quarters, and Sauci was next. Half-way down the 'running, Pariform shot out," but could not head Sauci, and ,tho pair passed the post in a line. Sir Moseley was third, and 'Daytime fourth. It was a/ splendid race, and quito in keeping with several of the other weight-for-age events witnessed this season. ' , Tho big handicap was ono of the best , Taces ever seen-on the course, tho whole field being bunched throughout, and the leading positions being changed several times. At the start, Bleriot, Haskayne, and Diavolo led Emperador and Expect, but the others were close up. Down the back Diavolo and Bleriot led Haskayiie and Vi, /with the other pair on their heels. . Round the bottom bend. Haskayiie went up on tlie outside, and Emuerador took, Vi's place. At the three furlongs, Haskayno had shaken off the others, but Moutoa Girl then joined him, while Expect was moving up\,also. At the furlong post, Haskavne was tiring, and Expect joined Moutoa Girl. Then Mysteriach shot out. and in a closo finish Expect got the verdict by a head. Moutoa Girl was a length away, and then came Byron on the rails, Emperador, and Haskayne, with Bleriot whipping' the field."' . Tho consistent but unlucky General Madoro had a winning turn in the Scurry Hack Handicap, in which Rigo Park, Microbe, and tho English-bred fillv ,Orvi('ta wcro supported in that order'. None of the favourites was fortunate at tho. barrier, and General Madero was soon, out by himself. ' At the .turn, Microbe , and Rigo Park ran into tho places, but they could not secure tho lead from- the chestnut gelding. Raitfiirly was fourth. In tho Mangatarata Hurdles, Player, who was a gfiod second fancy, repeated his performance of the first day by leading all 'tho way, and scoring comfortably. Flingot did not let him got so far away'to-day, but still the topweight never looked liko catching him. Darby Paul was kept too far out of it in the early stages, but finished well, mid was only just out of a dividend. He promises to bo very fit about Century Hurdles time. There was a big turn-up in the Juvenile. Handicap,'for which the Ormond bracket was most fancied, with Want and Chakwana next in demand. , Tho latter and Qnoenliko'made all the early running, but in the run to'tho nost had j no chance with the winner, who came ■ from a good way hack. Want ran very , badly, as did Intelligible, but Queen* liko shaped much better than on tlio - opening day. Tho winner has a big local reputation, and his victory was well received. The Farewell Handicap was the best . betting race of tho day. and tho biggest outsider was not paying a particularly good price. Vallialla was most sought after, with Postillion next, and Lady Louisa third choice. The race was run in the faltering light, and it was difficult to follow tho runners. Eocene, howover, led tn the distance, ( where Merry Roe and Postillion camo \ through. Valhalla was prominent ; crossing the ton, but mot with interfer- [ eiice, as did Dnyfly, who iust cut 1 Eocene out of third money. The stew- t "I nn inqi'irv into the running c of Merrie Roe jiuLPostilion, but satis- t factory explanations were received. s THE RESULTS. s (By Telosraph.—Press Association.) i T , u Hastings, May 8. j roslllts are as under:— OHOT HACK HURDLES, of 100 .sovs. I 1 n ,1? 0 a .
