A Held of seventeen faced the starter in the .Uoana Handicap. Admiral Advance made the running for tbe greater part of Hie journey, but Fonnalin took charge at the bend into the straight, and "coming on won easily by over two lengths. Salvaless. the fuvourite. was nover dangerous. To Toa and Oaklfigh were matte favourites in tne Takapun.T Hurdles, and Lady Hruce was the (irsl: to show out. Uakleigh setting a batl tiarl. With threo-quaiters of a ,milo cone Te Toa ranged alongside Lady Bruce. and then Oakleigh moved up. Lady Bruce now fell Jiaek, and Te Toa and Oakleigh took command. The fori mer hit tilie last hurdle but one. iinrl i lost his obanee of winning. Oakleigh j raced on strongly, and won comfortably. Madam Itistori was the only with- ! drawal l'roai the Suburban Handicap, j i.o-,1 K'enihvoit'a u>-<l Rins; Lupin were I the best backed. With a furious gone '• Kill" Abbey took charge and led the ' field to the turn for liome. when Prince Charlcroi put in liis challenge, and after a sharp struggle up the straight won liv three-quarters of a length, liins Lupin beingi thia-d half a length behind King : Abbey. T'b«ie were six starter* ill the Jockey Club Handicap. First Salute, .Taiamai. and the Ilannon bracket (Tinopai and King Lupin) being very evenly backed King Lupin was the first to tho line, followed by Taiamai and Waiuta. Tinopai was running last half a imb* from home. King Lupin fell away and Tinopai and First Salute were moving up quickly. Taiamai still held her position as the field swung into tho straight, but First Salute was travelling' at a great r-aic. .lie was soon levol with Taiamai, and going on confidently seeurcd the judge's verdict by half a length. Tinopai could not. sustain her run, and finished third four length* away, ltoyal Jrish ran well for ulwut a milo. After his very decisive \vin on Thursday Wolomai with Gray in tho saddle was made a strong favourite in the Hobsou Handicap, Tessa res being- the next favoured. The supporters of the favourite were, however, disappointed, i When the field settled down Jolie Prin- ,, , ;i!' jiml kciit tho posij tion for about four furlongs." Wolomai I then moved up and looked like winning, j but Landslide cairo with a rush in Hie straight an<l beat Jolio Princess by about n, couplo of lengths, Wolomai having to Im content with third place. ! Tluatar.i (Gray) was tile jiublie selection out of tlie fifteen horses wflio faced ■ tho sUiter in the Rangitoto Handicap, but lie. could only get lhird._ When ' bends were turned for home War Tank I and Explode were prominent and a hard I race up tl'n straight resulted in a win : f0" War Tank,

Tho Waiweia Hurdles resolved itself into ft great struggle between Marconi Hid Tenacious . Half n niiln from home Marconi had established' a lead of serrral lengtha, Tenacious then came i at him in a most determined way, and ' was on the leader's girths two furlongs from home,, They jumped tho last : hurdle together, Tenacious bavins a ■ little the best of it. Ho increased his ; lend in a stirring: iinirih, and won by a ; lenprtli. tho third horse Rntana being several lengths away.. Pendoon fell. Fourteen horses competed in the Anniversary Welter Handicap Fiibruiuetto Wing made favourite, but severe! others were well supported. Crovvhmsi led for, tho greater part of tho distance, but could not see it out. Com'nig into the straight ilic.li Salutb looked liie winning, but Rocklield came with a strony vun and won hs a nock.
