. MANAWATU MEETING CLIENT WINS PRESIDENT'S HANDICAP. , GEASE FIRE'S STAKES. Br Telegraph—Sneciol Correspondent. Palmerston North, December 2". The Manawatu races were continued to-day in oxcellent weathor. Thero was a vory large attendance, and the totalisator handled X 33.070 against .£24,83S last year. Teka was a good favourite amongst the half-dozon that were sent out for tho opolling event At the start Captain Glossop, who had the apprentice allowance, set a fast pace, followed by Alces. Tho latter got up on the inside at the •turn for home, and the favourite came on the sceno as they entered tho straight. Teka won comfortably,' but Captain Glossop had to bo ridden right out to boat Probation. Maraetotara ivas fourth.

Parewanm. and Janitor were withdrawn from tlio Tiritea Hurdles. Arlington to-day had n- change of riders, Traill having the mount. Tho public noted 1 the change, and sent tho chestnut gelding out' a hot favourite. Ho left practically tho wholo way, and won by a couple of longths, whicli distance would liave beon groa'tor had he jumped well instead of reaching for his fences.' Black Heart and Jem ran a dead heat for second place, and then came Atuatoro and Bodonham.

Tho bracketed pair, Foeman and Toheho. were favourites in the Higliden Hnck Hnndicap, with . Black Lako and Comment tho best supported of tho others. There ins some delay at tho ■barrier, duo to Flying Spur playing up. At the start Ohoreka was slow to move, and-Comment with Gaziqno. took up tho running. Tho pair were not headed again, Gaziquo winning by a length, with Fooman half a length away. Following was Gold 'Bearing, Nani.ur. find Flying Spur. The winner eh aped well, anil gave the impression that he will ho Been to advantage in tetter company. Black Lako raced badly, and seemed unable to carry her weight, while Elation got. a bad mn, but. solely becauso ho did Jiot have tho paco to keep out of trouble in tho first part. Client and Red Ribbon \ were evenly ■backed f or the big handicap, tho withdrawals being Square Deal and Master Montoa. The two favourite.? .finishedi.n ■the places,; the Fordell representative winning comfortably, but Red Ribbon, who acted as pacemaker, was all out to -beat Bon Bevo. who kept her company 'throughout. Maniaroa was very sore and ran in the rear the whole way. Dribble'was in the middle division throughout, but had do chance with the placed division. Panmure and Cease. I?ire represented -the Highden- stables in- the Palnierstfm North Stakes, and the bracket was a ■ strong .order ,with-backers. Sweet Tipperary and Crowhurst got tho best of a .straggling, start,-and. led down, the back, Panmure being in the Tear. ' At the halfmile tho top-weight had moved up, but bo failed-to negotiate.the bend well, and had no chanco entering the straight. At the stewards' staild the leaders wero etfll together, but Cease 3?ire was on their quarters, and moved up on tho outside,- winning nicely by. a couple of lengths, while Sweet Tipperary beat the .two-year-old by a head: Rose Pink was ionrth, and Panmure last. The imported horse saddled up extremely well, but ■was heavily bandaged-in front. It'was a genuine surnrise to • find his stable companion beating him, and had it not been that she failed to get out she may have woii. as' her mission was to paco tho field, but when Bell was in tho .realhe altered his tactics, with happy rc- ■ enlts. Strango to say, n two-year-old has never yet. won this race, • Carillon was a.few .pounds better favourite than Sir Wallace in the Hack" -Welter Handicap, thero being over four figures on each horse. At the jump away the favourite led with Kylena. Rounding the bend Mystenach moved up, but once in a line for home Ngania rac»d through', and in tlie straight he had matters all his own way, winning easily. The consistent Sir Wallace just beat Mystified, making the fourth'second in end credited to him. Mysterinoh was fonrth. • : ■

On account of >a bereavement-in tho family of the .owner. Marimba- was withdrawn from the Awanuni. Handicap, and Otter was also missing.' Astor was a good favourite, with- I,ady Black next in demand. Watchful delayed the start, and she and Powder Fox were last to leave. Down Flie back Tressida,-Moutoa Qnpen. and. Ladv Black were in the lead, and the trio entered the, straight in. a. line, with Astor and Nystad following. The last . named "finished .on well. and. won. easily from Tressida, with Watchful, going Very fast in-third place. AStor and .Mmitoa' Queen 'V'ere .the next to finish. '. Watchful was -unlucky to lose. ■

. ...Mazama and Jear] Marie were the'two best backed in. the'concluding event, ■while thorn was also'heavy support for Otter. ■ -The favourite, drew; the' rails, and bewail smartly. He and' Otter leil into the' strnirrht, just clear of Koekbound. Pearl Marie next joined in, and the quartet had a hard task, but the light-weight finished the best, and won by a lenpth, with Pockbound n lieck in front of Pearl Marie... Otter was foncth.
