The Canterbury Jockey Club's Metropolitan Meeting wao concluded to-day. The weather at opening was dull, but warm. Alter the iLst race rain set in and- tits Ueinperatui'D dropped. With three races j-'one ths rain cased up, but it came on again before the Stead Memorial Stakes, and the remainder of the afternoon was unpleasant. The lotalisator handled .M8,3G1. making <£20!),979 for the meeting, against .1:133,702 at last year's three days' fixture. Acliilledes, San Sebastian, and Austin were all backed for the Hurdles, but the lilitle-iancied Sonnino won very decisively from San Sebastian and Austin. Trickery ran off at the second lence, which Acliilledes crashed through, and gave Hegarti' a unity fall Polygon fell at the first fence. This is Ine first victory of Sonnino over fences. His jumping was considerably unproved luday. Bon Spec was heavily backed for the Crcssy Welter Handicap, bull after having every chance to win Uio was comfortably defeated by Bonetter and Motuihi, while Killowvn and Tortrix finished clusu up. Tho favourite began with his usual smartness, but ho could not goO a breakon Killowcn or Motuihi, and the pressure beat him. ilonctter won easily from Motuilii, wliiilo tho fnvourilo was two lengths nwiy.. Tiie win of Wie Yaldhurst mare was expected by. her connections, and they participated in the good return given by tho chestnut Tho Seymour Handicap was for apprentice riders, and developed into tho usual scramble expected in such races. The public backed Falstaff well, and ridden out ilie beat Sans Souci and- Steepholm. Red Signal rnado the running into tho straight, but sho tired badly in tho run home. North Sea and Areh Saluto lost their riders. The wellfancied Flight Commander aud Royal Exchange both had their clinnces spoilt by tiheir riders, Eleus and Melee wore taken out of the Members' Handicap, Onslaught being made a good favourite. 116 jumped oub smartly, and led the whole way. Maioha accompanied him for six where Demos shot out, and in a good finish the favourite won by a neck. Michaela finished well in third place. Maioha and Punka vero closo up. Tho race Onslaught had in the -Stewards' Handicap did him good, and he was a stone, bettor horse to-day. Affectation ivtis taken out of tho Gold Cup. Tho Mason bracket was a hot order with the investing public. Gloaming wa.s immediately taken to tiho front, and settled down well. Thcro was no paco oh, and the first quarter ■ took 2Sisec. and tiie half-mile SGsec. Gloaming then wcut further ahead aud ivon very easily from his stable companion, with Desert Gold three lengths away. The threo-ycar-old finished very well and surprised everybody. "There were six starters for tho Elecdnc Plato, but only ono dividend,-as Mr. A. M'Donald's pair, Muriliiku and Torfreda ivero bracketed. Tho Welcome Stakes winner Moorfow! was the best backed, with Silver- Link in second place. There was somo delay at tho barrier, caused by Moorfuwl whipping round. Eventually they wit. off well together, M-ith tho exception" of tho two-year-old. Silver Link led Croesus into tho cqurso pwrppr but tlhen tho favourito rushed through, and won in hollow siiyle. Croesus was close up. Tho win. of the two-year-old was accomplished in good style, and there will be mpro interest lha.ii ever in her next meeting with Humbug. All started in tho concluding event. Eleus was tiho favourite with investors, tho Clifford bracket being second choice, followed by Nobleman. The last-named was the first to break tho line, bull he was steadied, and Dribblo took up the running from Heathcrcote', with Eleus prominent amongst tho others. First Salute was alongside of Dribble making the home turn, with Eleus next. In the run down the straight Dribble andElous fought oub the finish, victory going to tho former by a head.
