During the day tho totalisator handled £39,547 an compared with £14,075 on the corresponding day of last yew's meeting. RACING DESCRIBED. The big field in the Maiden Plate delayed tho start for a considerable time. When the barrier went un Birkie and Superßlx woro the quickest to begin, and down tho back they led Merry Queen, Released, and Bestir,' Across tho bottom Birkie and Superslx -were still clear, but | at the turn for home Merry Queen ran to the leaders, but she hung out. . After being straiehtened up she challenged Birkie, but in a good finish was beaten by a neck. Released was third, and Superdx finished well up. ~«.-« Kouen was a good favourite in tho Do. minion Handicap, but he was comfortably beaten. Orateur and Fisher were in the van for six furlonss. when Bouen and Miss Maid, closed uj>. The Utter finished the bent, and won by a cowle or lengths from Fisher, who beat Sea Foam by a head. The Disger was fourth. Simple Sam. Kurapal. Flamingo. _and Tarowanui were scratched for the Hack 6teeplechase. At the start Te Toa set a Bound pace, and led. for two miles, where he ran off. Nicomar waß then left in charge, but Sartoline headed him over the ln«t fence, and won easily bv a length. Sail Home was four lengths away., and Combustion was the only other to finish. The Memorial Stake 3 was regarded as very open, and the machine reflected tnlß opinion, for several of the runners were evenly backed. At the start Molyneaux. under 1 a strong null, led the field Trhieji was bunched. At the six fur ongs Kil<rour and Penurv Eoße ran to the front, hut at the half-mile the former had a. break on the field, and he.led _ into tho straight from Molyneaux and Dainty Step. The other runners were now being hard ridden, but the leader tired, and in a good finish Molyneaux rrot w> and won by a length. Dainty Step wan two lengths a.way, and then camo Boyal Exchange and Boae Pink. ~ . ■ c ' Yankee Dan was favourite in the [stewards' Handicap, but his Bunoorters we>-o lucky to get scond. for bo was clearly beaten into third ilnce. He and Bor-v Briar began nuickly. and led into the straight from Martian Miss a"d Pakarnka. Martian Miss joined the leader* at the distance, and.in a good finish won bv a head from Bonnv Briar, with Yankee Dan a head away. The judge placed the winner correctly, and "ave-the minor places to Yankee Dan and Stutter, with Pakaraka "Nursing Sister whb the hottest order of the day in the Flving Handicap, hut she was comfortablv, defeated »p& failed to gain a place. Astinnme led Gold Problem and the favourite down the back with Solfanello tailed off. Entering the straight tho field hunched, but in the run to the post the leader held, her own. and wonby a neck from Gold Problem. Actifid wan o.loae un third. • . Miss Land.
