TRENTHAM RACES:

•- AUTUMN MEETING DESERT GOLD WINS' AGAIN OXENHOPE WINS THOMPSON HANDICAP SWEET CORN SCORES IN THE RAILWAY. Yesterday's racing at Trentham was, perhaps, the most successful opening day of any autumn meeting in the Wellington Kaoing Club's history. The weather was as-fine\as could have been desired for .the Beason of the year, and there was a very large attendance, including many soldiers from the adjacent military camp. Speculation was brisk during tho day, and the investments on the totalisator reached close to'the figure of .£SI,OOO-ia satisfactory result. ■'■ Minor accidents occurred in. connection with the Plunkefc Nursery Handicap for two-year-olds. One of the candidates, Cease Fire, when 'doing her preliminary, throw her rider, W. Bell,- against the iron fence near the bird-cage. The jockey was remove'd in the ambulance with' eome of his- ribs broken, and the horse Was withdrawn from the race. Later during the running, The Monk was pulled up, and was found to have broken his fetlock.- ..■'■'■■; ;■•''. / '. ■■'■.•■ The principal feature of the oars racing was the appearance of Mr. T. H. . Lowry's champion three-year-old filly, Desert Gold, in the; North Island Challenge Stakes. . The 1 daughter ~of All ■ Black had no difficulty in retaining'her unbeaten threef-ycar-old certificate. The St. Leger Stakes in which only two candidates appeared, was won rather easily by Eligible, who gave A. Oliver his second winning.mount in the event. .;. Hurakia was withdrawn from the Jumpers' Flat. Handicap, and as Harbour Light stripped on the big side the, public made Multiply a hot order, while for some unknown reason 6trong support wa9 accorded Sensitive., Multiply began better than most people expected, and though in the Tear he was never veryfar ' from the leaders, and at the half-mile he was a winner barring accidents. In the straight Vladian made «. run at tho leader, but Eeid gave him a kick, and he /easily came away. Parewanul, who had made the early running,' was a poor third, and the others were beaten off. After the race S. Eeid was fined .J35 for crossing Vladian. .. Eligible was a slightly better favourite •than Nones in the. St..Leger, and his party gave it out- freely that he would run Sniin. lsec As a matter of fac> he did one-fifth of ■■ & second .worse ..after making all his own running. Nones hung badly in the first part of the race, and pulled hard, but there is no doubt the best horse won on the day. A. Oliver, who rode the winner, : liadpreviously won' on Bon Ton in tho same colours. Tho time was a record for the Tare. There was a chapter of accidents in the Nursery Handicap.' First of all Cease Fire, when doing her preliminary, shied, and ran into a' barrier-post,' throwing W. Bell and breaking some ribs. Hyllus and Koesian were evenly backed, but the former was shin-s6rer*and ran badly. At the start Koesian showed out with The Monk and Menelaus,-"but after going two furlongs The-Monk broke a fetlock, and Lady Kilworth dipped and lost her. rider. Koesian was first into the straight, with Sweet Tipperary, Winterbourne, and Menelaus handy. In the run home Winterbourne caught and beat Koesian by a head, with Kilboy, who finished fast, in third place, and then came Sweet Tipperary, Menelaus, and Tinkler. The winner is a full-brother to Danube, while the runner-up also occupied a similar position in the- Welcome Stakes. Multiplication, was the actual favourite in the Thompson Handicap, but outside of .him several of the runners were well backed. It was a pretty race for seven furlongs and a half, and gave promise of an interesting finish, but then Deelej shot Oxenhope to the front, and with an electrical finish he ' soon put daylight on the field, and won pulling up by a couple of lengths from Adjutant, who had made all the running, and Multiplication. Then came Taringainutu, Hydros, who had been in front with Adjutant, failed to finish on. .The time, lmin. 39 2-ssec, is a record for the.race and for the course. There were five runners in the Chal-. lenge Stakes, and Desert Gold' justified the-heavy odds laid on her, and won all the way; Sasanoff got within a length of her at the finish, but it was on suffer, ance. Emperador, The Toff, and Wrestler finished in that order. The winner is not likely to be raced on Sat-The'good-looking Chillies scored in the mile Hack Race after a close finish with Cleft, while Spain was finishing on in third place. The early running was made by Ormesby, but he stopped to nothing, and finished last. Franbonnet was prominent for a time, but "the dis. tance beat him. Martial Air, the favourite, got chopped out at the half-mile, but on her showing afterwards this could not be said to have affected the result. Ladify got squeezed out at the barrier rise, and lost several lengths. Sweet Corn, who jenerally shows her best paces at Trenthani, had a very easy win ifi the Railway Handicap from ■ Chortle, who had been a bit unlucky in. the middle stages of the journey. Red Ribbon, who finished on very fast, was third, and then came Astor.. The lastnamed and Hygicas .were -prominent «n to the course propeT, but then Sweet Corn rushed through on the inside, and won For' the concluding event, the import- ' ""ert-Shrill-was a four-figure favourite, but she drew an outside position at the barrier and though prominent. at the two furlongs she failed to gam a. position. Halina-and Ring Lupin dashed oil in ' front, and the former saw it out to the • bitter end, and won by a very narrow margin from the well-backed Seadown, with an outsider in Bairnsdale, just clear of Ohiwai and Tango. •
