CUP MEETING ff . n! DUSKY EVE WINS IN EECOED TIME. ... ■ tl (By Telegraph—Special Correspondent.) w Wanganui, February 20. * Tho-Wanganui Cup waV- decided in glorious weather and before • a record cro'wd. Tho Clip went to ■ Dusky Eve, 1 who is a- greatly improved horse, and o likely to see a better day. . Form Up and Paddiugton Green were scratched for tho Stewards' Handicap, il leaving nine runners. Hude, Kipling,- <* and Tigritiya were all. evenly backed, there being only i'so differenco between the. trio. The last-named was quickest to begin and she led Kipling and ft strung-out fiel-i f.ast- the s'.x furlongs post. Hchdra was viviiiiineiit down the. bock, but he did not .act well .on the turns. At the threo furlongs Rude, came fast from the rear.and challenge!!..Tigritiya j at the distance... A fi»od Biush»d 'result- „ ed in favour of tire Eordnll ropresenta- '■ tive by a neck. Hendra was two lengths away, and then came 'Robin-, Kipling,and Dingle. '' . j 0 Jutland (a half-reauy. brother to-Po-!. 1 ! stilliori), 'RjJjckah, .ami"' tho bracketed j" pair, Active and Cotillion, ijvre a.l carrying over'four figitves when, the machine., closed for the.Pctrc Hack Itnmlwai). : iv | splendid start saw Wonder-lead Rebekah | and flie bracketed pair '-down the back, 1 while Jutland was slow to find his feet.. ' Rebekah, shook,'.AVonder off with half 5 tho ioiirney gone; and she 'was first into g the straight; Then Jutland, came fast, s but Rebekah won by a length. Active wa.s two lengths away, and then came , •, Star I,ady, Red Signal and Wonder. The'; -j winner's 'victory was easily achieved and ; , should soon do further service. , .' i Waipunoa, who was a good favmirVo j i in the. Westmere Hurdles,- was too sore ; to begin, and lie',was giving the held a !.- ■ big-start over the first mile. Here 1' iiFt j , Tjiiie who jumped well lliroughoiit. hnd j j a - good lead, with I'A)yal. .Arch, who was : . not galloping, kindly, next. With half n | mile to go, . Golden Grafton set. out to ! reduce'the lead of Fiwt Line, but ( latter Oasilv held his own, and won j % several lengths.- ■ Ridden out, -Golden | j iCfraftbir; 'just beat Loyal Arch. .-.VVM-; j puuoa and Rio finished -together, and Ai-, lington.fell in the first round. : ■ • = ■-:The-withdrawal of Desert Gold robbed the Jackson 1 Stakes of most of its inter- , 'est- and the crowd was mainly .ip -ent.j.. of.'catching '« glimpse of Gloaming. Ihe j champion stripped well and- appeared none tire .worse for his campaign m the north. Croesus also looked well, as did • Borealis, but' Killowch was on the jolly side and wants racing. Gloaming was at a Very short price on the machine and the odds were never in doubt. Deeley soon had the champion in-front, and lie led the whole'"waj."-Croesus was with him in the -straight, but the. sun of Ihe' WelKn was never doing his test, and he won easily. Killowen was two lengths ■away third. . ..' ' - - • „ The eleven acceptors.all paraded lor the Cup. Client stripped well and looked trained to the hour, as did Dusky live, Rewi Poto, and- Depredation. - Meiielaus seemed to. be on-.the'big side, and Bonnie .Maid was sweftting profusely, and looked very lio-lit. in condition; . 11l the preliminaries Client and Depredation moved a . trifle,short..but theyi had no pace on. Alenelaus went down nicely, and so did Dusky Eve. ' Rewi i'oto and Henry Clay obly cantered. When the machine closcd -'Dusky Eve was a better, favourite than. Client)'with'Bonnie Maid and Meueliiiis well backed. At the barrier Rewi ■I'oto and Bonnie Maid a bit frac■tious, -but a good start was effected. ' T'oriii Up immediately went to the front, and when the field had settled down he was just clear of Bingham and Mene- , huts, with Rewi- Pnto and Dtiskv Eve next, and Client last- With three t'nr- ' longs gone,' Eorm Up -and Rewi Poto were the ..lenders, the positions of the ''iithers'.i)eing..-'uncliangrd, and so they 1 turh'ed into the straight. The first 1 tune running .past the. stand Form Up ivos just in,front of Rewi Poto, but the 1 lield, with the. exception rif Client, were ; closing-up, and in the next furlong .both Form Up and Rewi Poto were in trouble. ■ At tho .six furlongs post Depredation l made a dash,: and hit the. front, but . Dusky.:.Eve-went after ,hill),' and they ■ were in the van along- Ihe back,- with . Bonnie Maid next, then Bingham -and ■ Rowi'l'oto, and Menelans next. 'Client ■ was still at the tail of the field,- and a i long-way back. Half a mile froin home ■ Depredation was fclear. of Dusky Eve, ! with Bingham -and Menelaus most .prominent of the others, and at this stage n'o- | tiling else had a winning chance. In the run across the top stretch to the " straight Dusky Eve headed Depredation, ' while Meiielaus ran up third. In the , run home Dusky Eve finished'in-good ! . style, and won nicely by two lengths. " Mfenelaus was two and a half lengths 3 . awiiv third, just half a length in front " of Client, who passed a lot of beaten ' horses over the last three furlongs.. 'Af- ? tcr Client cnino Bonnie Ifaid, Bingham, 1 and Hehry Clay. The last to reach the f. box was Form Up.-- The time, 2min. " s'Jsec. is a record for the Dominion.

Amytlias was tho'. strong fancy in llio Juvenile Handicap, nnd lie was unlucky not to win, for, when holding a commanding position at the home bend, his rider let him run very wide. : Golden Bubble was the quickest to begin, but Bonny Bi'iar was always handy; and, taking charge at tho distance, she ran home .i comfortable winner. Negligee finished .well in second place, ; G.olden Bubble is by- Absurd, and -will see a better day.'/ Philomela. Meli, and Passing Through failed bndly. •Douro Cup' form pointed to Cooing as

the winner of the Wiriroa Hack Roce, and shb crime home il comfortable winner from Arrowfield and Papuiuu. .the last-named made' most of the running, and it was only at the distance that the favourite got up. Sacremcnto ran a Rood, race after get!iiifj oil badly, and rimy do a lot hotter at his next start. Chortle was- the only withdrawal from the Flying Handicap. Bonnie Briar was saddled a sccond time. Silver I,ink was a good favourite, and she was 111 charge, practically the whole way. . She won nicely from Bonny Briar, with BoPeep next, followed by Chimera, Snnonides, Pennon,- and Inali, who were 111 a The totalisator registered .£42,30." On the first day last year the amount was .rais.sii. ■■-.-■■■■
