Tho totaiisator receipts for tns day ixevo i2/,5b7, and for Die meeting £54,711, an increase over last autumn meeting of £18,037. Tho total tailings at tho niaciiine represent a. record, being £17,5113 more tuau for any previous race meeting held by tho club. Consultation and Coa-lilinn were the only withdrawals from the Hack Welter Uandicap. Skedaddle was a good favourite, with ■linai-iijuuu and several of me uuiors well backed. At the jump away, Miss Margaret lea from Maim, Rionzi, and Bkedaddlo. Entering tho straight, Iniaribbmi and itienza were in tile van, but the latter tired in the run to the pout. Inianbbon and Manu fought cut a good iiuish, tho Blenheim niaro winning by a head. Transmit sioa was two lengths away, and then came Alias Margaret and Occasion. Chimera and Crowhurot wero evenly backed in the Russtil Handicap, and toe pair had tho race to themselves. They drew 1 and 2 at the barrier, and botli jumped out cleanly and were in front tho whole way. Orowhurst had to be hard ridden at the finish to hold off the fiUy, who was only a head away at the finish. Comment ran a good race, and finished third, with Vcrm'lion, Black Ada, and Bradainauto next,

Miss do Val was hacked down to it very short prico in the Autumn Handicap, but uho was a trifle 6ore, and moved vary" short. Multifual and Nanna both had a lot of support. At the Btart tho latter, on tho inside, rushed to tho front and, attended by Roue Vink and Multifual, she led to the half-mile. Here Rose Pink and Multifual went to tho front, but in tbo straight Gold Soult took charge. He failed to withstand a challenge by Mascot, who won by a couple of lengths. Multifual was close up third, and fourth JiJfcco was lilled by Bed Ribbon.

Street Singer was tho only scratching from tho Ruamahunga Hack Handicap. Galore was a better favourite that Association, and how well the public wero on tho marl; may bo gauged from tho fact that tho judgo could not separate the pair, who were in front the whole tfity. Galore looked to bo a, winnor at tho turn into tho straight, but Association Btuck on well and made a dead heat of it. Pervolo was third and Orawia fourth.

Torfrcda was withdrawn from tho Juvenilo Handicap, leaving eight runnors. Demos was a good favourito, with Oratress next in demand. At the barrier rise Gipsy Gold led Trcntham P.ose, Demos and Oratress into the straight, where Demos got up on the rails, and hit tho front. His hig weight then told and Dauiicn and Oratro~s crossed the Une locked .together. Tho verdict went to the Wolawa fitly by naif a head, with Demos two lengths away. Gipsy Gold was fourth.

'i'hero was a Held of twelve in tho Open Welter Handicap, the oniy withdrawal beins Haumakaka. Glorify, Comment, and Probation were fancied in that order. When the field settled down, Probation was acting as pilot, with tho others bunched. Sea Lord headed Probation across tho bottom, but tho chestnut compounded beforo the straight was reached. Probation again took '.•barge as they raced into tho straight, and, despite- challenges by Comment and Glorify, sho won nicely. Glorify was a head away in third place. Kino started in tho Oamp Handicap, tho seratchings being Wbakatina and ltlenzi, who had raced earlier in the day. It was a good betting taco, there being nearly £4000 on the machine, ot which Multivo and Cooing carried over i'onr figures each. Cooing and Lady Phyllis led Momac anil a bunched field to tho half-mile,. where Cooing got a bump and wiss sent back to last. Multivo had taken charge before tho straight was entered, and Lady Phyllis commenced to tiro. Over tho last fur- | long Battle Song challenged Multive, and in a good finish tho top weight scored by a neck. Warmth was two lengths away, nnd then came Cooing' and Lady Phyllis. Another good-sized field lined up for the Pirinoa Hack Handicap, five furlongs. Thero -was a lecord pool on tho machine, over £4000 being invested. Rajput and Birkenotta had most supporters. At tho barrier rise Livland and I.ilydale shot out, but tho latter hung badly. Tonukoho joined Livland. and the pair wcro first into the straight. A furlong from home Street Singer came fast, and so did "Ra.iDUt. A great finish resulted in favour of Street Singer, while Tonukoho only beat Hajput by a narrow margin.

A paragraph appeared in our special correspondent's report of the opening day of the Wairarapa Keeling stating that H. Young had been stood down by tho Judicial Committeo of tho Wairarapa Earing Club, on the receipt of information that tho Waruranui District Committee had withdrawn his license. This was hardly correct. Tho telegram reached tho club giving tho name of Ilarold Young, but as tho notice was informal the Wairarapa Club took 'no action. However, Young stood down for the remainder of the day on his own' initiative. Subsequently tho Wanganui Club was communicated with, and tho reply stated that it was not Harold Young that was referred to, but another horseman of the same name.
