The largo field of seventeen horses faced the starter in Hie Maiden Hurdle Race, Entente C'ordiale 'being the favourite. As soon as the field settled down Step was in command and was never headed, winning very easily. He made no mistakes. Entente Cordiale ran disappointingly, and was never really dangerous. Pendoon would probably have got t second place had he not fallen at the last hurdle but one.^ The meeting of Crenides and Helaua in the Great Northern Guineas was looked forward jo with keen interest. Tinokulia made the running for Hie greater part of the journey, but Crenides, with Iletaua in close attendance, came at him as the field entered the straight. Tinokaha was soon disposed 'of, but Helaua could not get on terms with Crenides, who won comfortably by several lengths. Archie, who came fast at the finish, beat T'inokaha for third place. The Welcome Stakes attracted a fiokl of fifteen horses. Lucullan, Weary Willie, and Landslide being made favourites. Weary Willie was the first to show nut, with Landslide in close attendance. Tessare? came up tho straight with a great rush, and got into second place a neck behind. Weary Willie, Landslide and Listowcl being close up a dead heat for third. Lucullan finished about fifth. Nearly half the field came to grief at various stages of the Onehunga Steeplechase. After about two miles had been traversed the. race resolved ftself into a struggle between Tira.ii, Tenacious, Signature,' and .Tacaranda, who were then galloping in that order. Tenacious then went to the front and placed a big gap between hirafiolf and tho others. Coming down the hill for home Signature mado an effort, but again fell , back, Tenacious winning with a lot to spare from Tirau. Signature having to be content with third place. He pulled up lame. Queen Abbey and Tnimai fought out a great finish in the Shorts Handicap. They singled themselves out at the entrance to the straight and went stride for stride to tho po?t. Queen Abbey winning b» half a length. Tho Mitchelson Cun was well won by Depredation. Some Boy was'the first to show out, bul King Lum'ti was soon alongside him. King Lupin led into thestraight, and his victory wns loudly proclaimed, but Deiiredation. who had been Mining through his field hnlf a mile from home."came with great dash nt. the finish. He seemed to cntch Kin , ,' Lupin napping and secured the verdict bv half n. length. Bedford was in third nlace, and Some Boy was fourth.
