RACING INTELLIGENCE.

i The Paki Paki races, which took place yesterday, and which wore confined to hacks only, need no very long discription. There wero four races on the programme. The first was a Hack Hurdle Race, open to all horses that had never won a hurdle race, catch weights, distance twice round the course, for 10 so vs. -Five horses started for this race, and it was won by Mr F. Peacock's Assegai, Watene's Pakowhai second. The second race of tho day, which would have been on the cards had there been any, was a Hack Flat Eace of 10 soys., once round the course, open to all horses that had never Avon a race, catch weights. Seven horses started for this race. Munn's Reliance camo in first, Johatihon's Cigai'ctto second, and Leech's Ginger third. A protest was entered against Reliance on the ground that he had already won a race, which was proved to the satisfaction of the stewards, and tho stakes were awarded to Cigarette. The third race was the Hack Handicap Furdlo Race, of 20 soys., twice round the course.—Mr Peacock's Assegai, list 4lb, 1 ; Reihaiiii's Gundagai, I'M 71b, 2; Mr A. MoArtnoy's Thu Coachcr, 9st 71b, 0. Gundagai, who was badly ridden by a Maori boy, made all the running , for the first timo round, when Assegai, who had been keeping several lengths behind, began to lessen tho gap, and at the back of the course passed Gundagai, and won by two lengths.

The Handicap Flat Race, twice round the course, of 20 soys Dennett'a Sunrise, Bst, 1; Mr Leech's Ginger, 7st 31b, 2; Mr Solomon's Kumipo, Gst 101b, 3. Ginger carried about a stone overweight, and several of the others also carried several pounds over. This was the best race of the day. Kumipo made the running for the first mile, with Sunrise in close attendance. Soon after passing the judge's bullock-dray, Kumipo retired, leaving Sunrise with tho lead. Ginger here began to creep up, and at the back of the course got on lovel terms

with Sunrise. A good race then ensued between these two, Sunrise winning by half a lengtii.

Mr Cohen's totalisator was on the ground, and put through about £200.

Tho attendance on the ground was pretty fair, though not so good as on other occasions.
