THE TURF

HUTT VALLEY TROTS WELLINGTON TROTTING CUP . WON BY GREAT AUDUBON Th© Hutt Park woudl be an ideal trotting ground if the means of communication were better, but, even under present conditions, capital meetings can be held there and the Hutt-Valley Trotting Club has reason to be pleased irith the decision to shift, its fixtures from the old Recreation Ground to the Park. The club made satisfactory arrangements yesterday for the transport of its patrons by train and 'bus and, as tho weather was all that could be desired, the attendance was much larger than at previous meetings of tho club. The sport too was excellent, and the only blot on the day's proceedings was the great delay in tho prolamine. It was, however, to the benefit or the total'isatoi', wßicli handled .£12,222 during the day—a substantial increase on last year's figures of i' 8059. The principal event on the day's programme (the Trotting Cup) was tannexed by Great Audubon, whose owner was afterwards congratulated by the club's president (Mr. E. L. Riddiford) upon ginning the handsome trophy donated for the winner .by Mr. H. J. Palmer. Later in the day the trophies attached to the Ladies' Bracelet Handicap were also presented by the president. Results of tlie day's trotting are as follow:— HUTT PARK TRIAL HANDICAP (optional), of 45 sovs.; for all horses that had not won a trotting race exceed- • ing the value of 25 sovs. at the time of nomination.

As they raced past the stand the second time Great Audubon had taken tho lead, followed by Goodchild, Rorke's Drift, Harold Devon, Little Bones, and. Jewel Chimes in that order. Half a mile from home the issue was between Great Audubon, Harold Devon, and Jewel Chimes, who were racing in that order.

TRENTHAM RACES FIELDS FOR SECOND DAY. To-day being a public holiday,there should be a record crowu at Treritbam. The fields aro again on the large side, and the racing is expected to be up to the usual standard of the course. Additional trains will run from each station, and particulars of them will be found in our advertising columns. The first event, which will start at noon, is tho Hack Welter Handicap. Eight acceptors are carded, and the whole of them will go to the post. On the opening day nothing looked better than Lady Nolan, but she ran badly. This form was .too bad to be true, and investors may prefer to discard it to-day. Rongara will also have many admirers. Belasco, who has .come down a. rung in the class ladder, may be the best supported in the January Welter Handicap. Orleans got hung up in the webbing on Thursday, and may do a lot better to-, day. , In the Wellington Stakes, five furlongs, the wonderful Desert Gold is opposed by tlio best three and two-year-olds in the Dominion, but it will be a great surprise if they are able to spoil her fine record.■She is a remarkably quick beginner, and will always have the others stretched right out to keep near her. If the present fine weather continues it is quite on the cards that a new Dominion record will be recorded for the five furlongs.

At the first sight, the handicapper seems to have been easy oil the Cap winner, Bee, in the big handicap to-day, and ill allowing First Glance only 71b. for a beating he probably is of the opinion that the Irish-bred mare had. none the best of the luck, and, furthermore, a furlong from home was a winner. This may be, but Bee was well back in the early part of the Cup, and then got up and won. Better placed to-day, she looks like again accounting for First Glance. Balboa is again to take part, and in satisfying the owners of the three placed horses, Mr. Coyle has done well. Taringamutu and Ladogeur are both certain of plenty of support. They are anything but a good lot of two-year-olds in the Filzherbert Handicap, though there affe several winners amongst them. Elation and Barley Sugar may carry most money on.the maohine. ' The valuable Douro Cup, one mile, looks like a. severe problem for backers. . Multiplication, 9st. 121b., eceiris to have enough weight, and a win for him would be well received. Wishful, 9st. 31b., has his Ellerslie form to recommend him, and seems to have a little the best of il compared with tlie top weight. Seadown, Bst. slb„ may be troubled by the distance, but if Marsinah, Bst. 41b., could be got to reproduce her best form, she would bt very dangerous. Mandoline represents a strong stable, but has so far not been a mile successfully. Wishful 'may ./be favourite. '' In the Disposal Stakeß, the Ifaramu stable holds a strong hand with Shaki and liydrus, and whichever of the pair is started may be favourite.. Otter and Chudic are also worthy of support. , It is a strong field in tho Metropolitan Handicap, six furlongs, and there ® are several fresh horses in it. Bimeter, Bst 111b., and Marco Bello, 7st. 71b., mas cany most money on the machine.
