POVERTY BAY RACES

SPRING HANDICAP WON BY CYNIC. 'By Tolosraph.-Spccial Correspondent, Gisborne, October 30. Glorious weather and a record attendance were the principal features of tho opening day of tho Poverty Bay Meeting. Tito sura invested on the totalisator was .£23,743, compared • with .£14,0T3 on the first day last year;; 'Actifid and Multilla were withdrawn from tho Junction' Handicap. ■ The-public made tho locally-owned Lionskin a "good' favourite, with Lord Muskerry and Hyttus the best backed of tho others, Lord Musketry and Carlysian wero first into tho straight, but then the favourite got clear and, she scon put tho issue beyond doubt, winning very nicely from Lord Muskerry, who beat llyttus by a neck. Carlysian was fourth. "

All the acceptors started in the Hurdles, the first four horses being fairly evenly backed. ■ Vacuum, who stripped very well, came in for a lot of 6unport. Brunswick led for six furlongs, where tho top-wejghfc ran to the front, and with Hcxton in attendance he led for the

rest of tho journey. Con ran across Hexton two fences from homo, and caused him to lose a lot of ground. *fn a close finish Con won by a head. Brunswick was two lengths away. -For Hie Rosclnnd Hack Handicap several of the rumors were well supported. Goldshine n-'X. down particularly well in his preliminary, as did Anata. and tho pair divided the machine honours. Nick's Head made the pace very fast •for a couple of furlongs, where Valley Rose joined him. The last-named was clear of the field entering the 'straight, with Patetonga next. Shortly afterwards Goldshine dashed .through on the fence and Anata camo fast-on tho outside. Goldshin'e won. by half a lenirth from Anatn, with Patetonga two lengths away. Palm Oil and Oraleur- were the withdrawals from the Snring Handicap. Heavy reinsurances made Multive a. bet-

tev favourite than Alliens 11. while the . others wcro well backed. At the stnvt tho pace was <dow. and Cynic soon took charge villi Multive, while the favourite and Blackall were together next. Cvnic was clear at the half-mile, where Athens 'Q moved up, and rounding the bend he had token second place. Once, in the otvnicht Ladoguer and Multive challenged the leaders.-but,in the run to the post Cynic won comfortably bv nearly two lengths from Athens 11, who was r. heart in front of Multive. Cleft and Ladoguer were tho next to finish. Palm Oil, Ohorekn, and Rylstnne. were oil well lacked in-the'Open Welter Handicap. The start was a wretched - one, several horses having; their chances spoilt at tho vise of the barrier. Ohorpkn n"d Subdual led for three furlongs, when the latter gave way to Hookah, who led into tho straight from Bylstoue. The lattei finished best and won by a neck, with Cross .Words two. length's away. Pavilion was fourth. Hookah boltert r before the start of the race ,or she might have .won. There was a very bier field ,in the Scurry, and several of them came into the market, including Royal Moments mid Wallflower. At the start Stylish Lady. and. Over' Them led ' Wallflower and a strung-out field. Entering the straight the leaders compounded, and .Persian JOng took charge. He had to bo ridden right out to beat Red Edna, while Roynl Tdomonts finished fast in third place. ; There were only/four runners' m tho

Fiying Handicap.'and Act ifid was ;a solid favourite. She drew : tho rails, and bV winning:; smartly she led all the way, Black Lace was two"*lengths away,' ano Multifual was third. Pour al«o went to the barrier in the October Handicap, and although Pretty Bobby was a pood favourite, there was .strong suppoct for tho others, Q'oldshjne pot nVi the best of a poo'-' start, and heTed from end to end. The other two ran off the rouro« at' the home turn, which allowed GoiSs'iine to win by several lengths.
