Tho Marton Spring Alootmg was "held to-day in glorious wtatatr, and before a large attendance. Tne totaiisator tnrnovei - was fflja'inat illi,l(i7 last year. ■ ■ . Glen Navis and Kew were evenly backed in tho Hack Hurdles. E&kawtii was in front at the nrst. tence, but 6he jumped out and lost ground. Kew was well clear at the bottom of the straight, but he too 13st ground at the next two fences. Glen. Novis took cliaige at the eevea Itolongs, and, going on, was not seriously troubled'. Hajboua , Light, yflw hails from Hawera, was badly placed over tho first mile, but he put in a good run. and got second place just clear oi'.the Wanga-nui-trained Queen's Post. Eoseblnah, Ib; har, Gerbera, Manitau, and Parewanui were in a bunch a long way back. Kew fell at the last fence. The three-year-olds, Mia Cara and Kamiuo'je, wero backed in that order for the Maidea, and the lattar, aided by No. 1 position at the barrier, jumped out in front, with Hush.-a-Bye, • whfle Mia Oara got tangled up, and: was knocked back a kmg way. Co\\mftras tV\T(V -p\ate in a stru'hg-out field, . Going past the fiveturhag post the Wade oolt was the only one to make any impression on the leaders, and he settled .Hush-a-Bye, but had no chance with the Karaum gelding, who won easilyj The winner was making his 'first (appearance since returning- from Sydney. ■ Day Fly was tho elect in the Railway Handicap, with Piriform second choice.. From a good start Mount Victoria led from a bunched field till tho straight was 'entered, when Wild Lupin and Lady Louisa put in a challenge and tflio latter won by a lons neck. Boy Fly was fourth. Then came Merrie Frank. Lady Volja, and Glenfern in a line. Pariform and Suubird ran badly. The Hunt Cup went to Mr. E. Short's Bonny, who fenced capitally throughout, and won by p .good margin from Royai •lUakl, who was not handled to advantage, and Consul. Hionioe, and Riro Atu did not complete the course, and Emblem olso fell. Master Malachi and Flyinu Cloud were pulled up. Portraiture was "the gcods" in the Marton Handicap, with Hyettus next in favour. The favourite ran a poor race j and was never dangerous. At the start Master Lupin, wto started from the outside, and Hyettus lsd from AVaipaku, but the latter displaced-. Hyottns at the ] top bend, and led down the back. At the ] three furlongs Mariiaroa rushed to the front and after a. pood finish just la.ste'l long enough to stall off Hyettus. Passadena was two lengths away third, > and then came Commotion, Peroneal, Master Lupin,' Undecided, and Portraiture in that order. . A big. fioH contested the Electric Hack Handicap, and once again backers were astray in their- calculations, for King Ohiara jumped out in front, and never let the favourites in. Tyson was prominent to ttio turn,, but he then faded but of it. Lady Daylesford came from a. long wayback and got second place well clear of New York. Garanco was fourth, and Nrarua fifth. Want was favourite, but did not begin smartly, and was never dangerous. Columbus was saddled up for tho second time, but did. not show up. La Favourita got left at the post. There .word a lot of falls in the Hack Steeplechase, and at the first fence several came down and others had their chances spoilt, "tjrey Renown made most of the running from Da.rby Paul, and Black Queen, with Lady Bibbero handy. Down the back Mie last tim* Makiri tcok charge and despite a vigorous phallenge from Lady Bibbero he held his own, and won nicely. Darby Paul was three lengths away third, and then came Grey Renown, Silver Monarch, and Te Whetu. Waterworks, Passive, Kelp, and Coronation fell at the first fenoe. Tβ-Whetu and Silver MonaioU jumped badly throughout. _FasMon Plate, who had-the services of T)osley, was made a hot favourite in tto Hack WolteT, but when goins very well at the half-mile She got a bad bump and was «mt to the rrar, which spoilt her chances. Montano had hi to this point but across the bottom .Awahon tcokchanre and led into the strai.sfbt. He was challenged by Mojfer Strowan and Sir DonllW.*t fte distance, but after a great finish, he held his and won by a head.

The' alterations wore approved. Messrs. J. C. Whiteman, A. Fleming, and C. \V. Hervey (secretary) waited on ths> board as a deputation from tho Canterbury Owners awl Breeders' Associa- | tion to bring before the board sugsesl.ti.ons in regard to haniiicapping. When the members of the deputation had rei tired tho president said that the associar j tion had really nothing to do with lanJ ivhicih. was a matter entirely for thfe clubs. A year ago ho had referred to tho ijuestion of starting and handicapping, and a joint committee ha<l been appointed to consider the question of starting. Thu committee had made certain recommendations which had been nut before the Trotting Conference, but they 'lad not found favour with tlat body. Ho took it tliat the scnenie put forward was intended as a suggestion. After discussion it was. decided to defer consideration of the matter until next month in order that clubs mijrht havo an opportunity of discussing- it. in the interval.
