Purseilller was a better lavouritc than Kauri King, and Castalia. At the start tho top-weight was badly left, and was giving tho leaders a. big start at the end of a mile, ltero win was leading Oaf.talia, Otara, and Kauri King, all ot wnom wero jumping badly.

Kauri King .iustbeafc Caslalia and Otara. On roturnIHK to weigh in tho winner got a great reception from the crowd, who recogni«il Hip. merit of the performance. The Maiden field contained a lot of likely material, and also scvoral half-ready horses. Gcnoral Stephen was a Letter favourite than War March and ilarla-ma, who were evenly backed. Don Patch pla-y----i<l up at tho barrier, but got <i flyinff start, and was not headed on the Journoy. The favourite came from a long way back, and just beat Principal Lady for second placo. Nowra, Pavilion, and War March were olobo lip.

The big weight carried by Gaziaua-did not deter backers from sending him out a good' favourite for the Flying- Handicap. Movement was second choice. At the start Ora-wai and Cwlysian sot a. fast pace, but at the straight entrance the topWeight moved up, and, catching Orawai tt few strides oft' the post, ho won by half ft length. Multifual wae two. leugiha away, and then come Movement. Tho merit of tho winner's performance was reuognlped by the crowa. \ Tho four acceptors, went out to contest tho bis Steeplechase. Sandy Paul was agood favourite, with "Fagot and Master 'i'imi equally backed. Over tlio first mile tho pace wae slow, but then Sabrcmii rushed to tho front. All four jumped well ovor the next round. With six furlongs lo go Sabrenui still had charge, hut at tho halS-mile Muster Timi moved uj>. and tho pair wero together at tho nftxt fence. They rose togetlior it the. last obstacle, Where fiabronui fell heavily and interfered with Master Timi, who was nearly down. This allowed Sandy Paul to got up. but Master Timi was quickly straightened up, and got up in time, to win an exciting rwe by a longth. Fagot was. ton lengths away. The winner is trained, by the vetoran,. P. Malouo, and was. ridden by an (ipiatbur horsouian. Both trainer and rider were cheered after tho race. Tho winner jumped well throughout, and would be tho makings of a uecful horso wero lio sound enough to stand a «evero preparation. -. • ' .

Aotind and Gonoral Stephen wero tlie only horses supported to any extent for tho Hock Raw. Tho early' running v.as made by Sylvasco, Saiino, and Ohoreka, but over tho last furlong Aotifld took charge, and won very easily from Mock Lace, who finished well. Sabine, ilulti. plane, and General Stephen wore the next to finish. The laßt named shaped, badly, and liia effort In tho Maideu had evidently left ita effect!.

Thoro wore only three runners in the Hack Steeplee, and Expedition curried twothirds of tho investments, Baokc-rs of the favourite ■were ou good terms wiUi themi'elvoß ovor tho first mile, as ho was ten lengths in front.

NOTES AND COMMENTS

CBY GtEHCOE. , . liraeburn ia reported to bo ..doing' very well at HaetiiiKs, and his friends reear'd hie career-of., .-usefu'ness. as far: f roro closed. ,i.' ■ Diavolo'e absence from tho Oisborne meeting was tine to a mishap, which is not thought likely to keep him off tho tracks for long. "" Mouloa Queen, irho created the impressioU that she would annox a raile and a quarter race for her owner, evidently did not run up to expectations at Otaki, far it is now reported that she is to he retired to the stud. Tlio statement that Nqrthlaiid, who wou twice over hurdles at Elloi'slie, is a 'halfbrother to Haydn has contradicted in the north. ■ Ibex was to accompany Kauri King on the East Coast trip, with a , view to beinir raced at Napier. 'During last week representatives of 'tho nowiy-foraied Auckland , . Country Clubs' Association and delegated from the New Zealand Country , Clubs' Association, mot in. conference with, the Auckland District [ Committee, when- the .proposal that the Auckland district be- divided into three' ■was diacmesed. .TUo newly-formed' association is entirely in opposition to the proposal (says tlio Auckland "liHw"), and after, considerable) discussion . the- matter was adjourned until next January. John Bunny, Gluepot, and liritiah Arch I liave gone .to Australia.. A,northern writer.says tliat Hymcetra, who is to go to Australia soon, will have I Lady Jack as a- companion. ■ Sißyphu3 .has been taken in hand azain, after being on the easy list for several months, following on an operation. , Hopfleld is being Fchooled over the sticks. British Arch, also has had uomo lessons in tho bttsinene. : uud his 'prospects are t-bonght -well of. . ; ThoAuoWflnd- light-weight, D. O'Sheai who was laid np in the Pa-lpierston North Hospital-with a , , broken leg, lias been discharged from the institution, and is bank in the north.. . Vf. d: Jones inny bring Chailoy.to Tren■tham for the Wellington winter meeting !■ next month. It is unlikely that Bore will bo nominated for' Hie Wellington mooting. Naiipata, who was aomowhat lame'after hin'Dunedin victories, is now being rested. Leading: jockey, Douoghiio, is (says an English writer) - boing paid between one and two thousand pounds in order that Mr. S._B. Joel, may have second claim on his eonices during 1918. Mi , . A, W.Cor, tlie owner of Gay Orusader, has first claim, and it is his way to pay a «übetantjal feo even though be never lias , many horses In tra-ining. Ever lince Danny, Maher's . brilliant days Donoghiio has stood out as the best, jockey, and it is moro than likely that' JTr. Joel may have iiia'do ono of his usually profitable invoßtnients. 'By-the'way, it was at Mr. Joel's Dlud at Maiden' Erleigh. that 'Lord Londonderry'a very' fine nmroi Permajn, died tho otlicr day. 9ho was the dam oi Coroyra and Benevonte, who was one of. the best ot last season's two-ycar-olda.

Alino, who has Leon nominated for both flat niul jumping events of late, haw teen sent the hurdles at Napier, ,'and-has' given a. food exhibition ot leppiiii*. ■
