TRENTfIAM RACES WELLINGTON SUMMER MEETING CONCLUDED . . The Summer Meeting of the above .tlub was. coucluded yesterday in glor-. ''ious weather. Tho attendance was again large and speclation was spirited. During the day tho machine handled £45,114, an, increase of. £5000 on last year's figures. The total for the three days was £145,771, "which is an. increase of £9913 over last year's figures. •■ ; . Tango, who has developed a joint, J was the only withdrawal from the Wal;laceville Welter... It was one of the .most even betting races ever seen on thecourse, the whole half dozen being (well supported. Plymouth and Prince ,I)elaware. jumped out well and remained in the van the w'hole way. Cap;tain Glossop, the. third horse, got a Ivery bad passage or bo would have .'■won'. Rongora was close up.fourth. ; The Melrose Welter provided ,a very.. \fine finish after a.fast-run race..; Hyl- : this and Probation were the best backed an a good betting race. . At the. start (Samisen set a fast pace and down the, ;iback Sunny Climes, ■ Hyllus, .arid Probation, were her nearest attendants. Tho.leader was going easily entering, tho .straight, but. then Probation and ' Sunny Climes started/to gofher. Over .the last fifty yards Comely came Tery. ifast and! got. up .'in.'timo to. win by a ineck. • Sunnv Climes was only half a length, behind Samisen, and then came '.Probation and Goldstream. ■.•-..;, ■'; The top-weight,' Ample, ..prevailed •tover a bfg field in the Hopeful Stakes. • 'i-Prior'.tb the start Hymeona bolted a icircuit. .After some delay.at tho bar--Jrier a good start was effected. \>hen jthej. had gone half way ..the field was . fspr'ead out with the favourite in the 'Tear. Entering tho last furlong, .Birlc■envale was in front of Exclusive and {Ample, but he-shifted".under pressure' land tho last-named, finishing/Well, heat ; .Exclusive by half a length, with Birk<mvale a neck away. Acre,.Noir, and •Lovesick finished in a line. • ' Wishful'and Daytime were withdrawn from the Summer Handicap, Jeaving a field: of eleven. . The imported mare, Llanishen,. was a better fa■vourite. than Oxenhope. At the start ißeltane' and Marsinah led ' down the ;hack at a fast pace, with the two'favourites in tho rear of the field, lhe "first half mile was left behind in 49sec., and here Marsinah led Beltane and Sedd-el-Bahr. Entering, the ~ straight ,Bangitero tried for an opening on the fence and Oxenhope came round the field. Half wav down tho running Llanishen got through in the middle, 'and in a great race to .the post Oxenhope, on the outside, won by a neck;from Sedd-el-Bahr, with Beltane a head .an front of Itangitero and Llanishen, who )were together. The Kelburn Plate drew the cream of the two-year-olds and the elder divifiion. It was generally considered to be the most interesting race of the meeting, and so it proved.' Hymenstra was hurdered with 71b. over-weight, ibut this was good practice, as it en•abled the colt to havo Buchanan's services. Biplane was a hit unruly, and ■would ngt do a preliminary the wrong. iway. A good start was effected, and '•Hymenstra "waß the first to become jprominent. With half the. distance •gone, he was two clear lengths ahead of Biplane, Bimeter, and Tete-a-Tete, who . -appeared to be together. The leader ' ! Icept his place and won easily by two ilengths-' from Biplane, whilo'Jßimeter beat Tete-a-Tete by, a head.'The winIn er won so easily that had ho been '■ ipushed'he would probably have run 4b seconds, which would . have been an Australasian record. He looks to be the best two-year-old of the season, ; and is certainly the host youngster " i-that has come from Karamu for a long •Ml started in the Kaitoke Handicap, (which was a good race, and resulted 111 ; (a triumph for trie three-year-old l'orm(Up who started on the outside,, but : showed a lot of'pace over the first part, land after obtaining a good position lOliver got him up in time to defeat a hot order in Waimatoa, who came from ,Otaki specially for the race. Bramble"tye ran her best race of the meeting, land got third place, while Shiela was acain in fourth place, just clear ot .Mascot and Bairns/Me. The winner is a really good three-year-old, and ■.will do bettor yet, ' ~ 1 • ' Another very fine finish resulted in !the Consolation Handicap, when the [top-weight, Chortle, got up in the last ■stride and beat Indigo, who was one of the least fancied of the held. At ! .the start Devotion led at a good pace, .Tvhile Wishful and Red Ribbon brought up the rear. Down the back the top .weight was in a good position on the (.rails in the centre of the field.. At the haf-mile the positions weie unchanged. '(Entering the straight, however, Indigo ' ,ian to the front arid looked like a winder, but Chorfle was coming fast and got up on the post. .Bjorneborg was two lengths away, and th*n came lied Ribtbon and Wishful. '\ The outsider of the field in the concluding event scored a very easy win. 'This was the Karamu-bred Hygmas, i-who has a lot of pace, but generally •fails to run on. He began smartily and was in front the whole „way. At the half-mile Nystad looked dangerous, but he failed to come on, Koesian set out after .the leader, ' 'hut could make no impression on him, and was three lengths away when the post was reached. Lady Black, who gol a bad run in the first part, was third, and then came Multiplication; THE RESULTS. Details of the racing are as follow :- WiLLACEVILLE WELTER, of 200 sovs Seven furlongs. 1 Mr W.
