DUNEDIN MEETING

MEA9OW LARK TRAVELS' FAST DUTCH MONEY WINS NICELY The Summer Meeting of the Dunedin Jockey Club was brought to a conclusion yesterday. The overhead conditions were glorious, but during the day a strong westerly wind sprung up. " The track was electric, and some fast times were recorded, the records for iive and six furlongs being equalled by Dutch Money and Meadow Lark respectively. The field? were on the small side, and in the final event there were only four starters. . The attendance was below last year’s nuni'bers. On the second day twelve months ago it was close holiday in the city, but yesterday many of the business houses re-opened. There was a distinct shortage of money, £15,962 being passed through the machine, as against £22,320-1 on the corresponding day last year. The total turnover for the meeting was £37,810, as against £46,319| last year. The meeting was well managed, the only fault to be found with any section being the starting.

Gayoma. and Umtali alongbhe hack. Rangatahi was two lengths clear 'of Gayonia and T'uiiamoe at the home turn, and, jumping the last ience well, .lie ran home a very easy winner bv two lengths from Gayoma. who beat Tunamoe by half a length for second money.

All Comment, Sarnia, and Salmo Salar, but at the six furlong post Phaster had beaded Page Boy and All Comment, Salmo Salar and Sarnia running next, close up.

This was the order turning into the straight, where Tardy moved up Into fourth place. At the distance Tardy moved up, and, heading his stnblemates, Page Boy and Phaster, won by two lengths from the former, who beat Phaster by a short length. Lady APKenna and Salmo Salar were next.

After going a furlong over which the field, ran in close order, Apache showed out from Kilmoycr and Equerry. Vawa-rd ran into second place going to the far turn, but then fell and broke bis shoulder. Apache led Kilmoyler by three lengths into the straight. At the distance post Kilmoyler went up to Apache and in a good struggle to the post Kilmoyler prevailed by a short head, Lucy Locket was five lengths away third, and Equerry was a bad fourth.

Royal Saxon led Money Aline and Gay Sonnet to the far turn, then the latter ran into .second place, but could not reach Royal Saxon, who ran home a good winner by a length and a half from Battle Colours, who beat Gay Sonnet by a length for second money. ’ The favourite was only a nose away fourth. Investments £19184 (£3093). * » * » In the Grand Stand Handicap Booster was well backed, with Meadow Lark also solidly supported, the pair carrying most of the pool invested. Meadow Lark was the smartest to begin, and led Booster. Royal Tractor, and Eaton Bolls, who were moving abreast to the far turn. Meadow Lark led Royal Tractor and Booster up the hill, and ni tho home turn the favourite ran into second place. At the distance post Booster ranged alongside ATeadow Lark, but directly the latter was called on he drew way again, and beat Booster home by a length and a-qnarter. Eaton B.'is was a similar distance off third. Coomassie, who lost three lengths at the start, was a poor fourth, and Royal Tractor next. Investments, £1,9434 (£2,371). «■ * * * In the Juvenile Handicap, for two-year-olds, Dutch Money was made a better favourite than Stealth, with Night Lad and The Graphic nearly as well backed. After a long delay at the barrier, Colonel Quex and Academy were left, and Francolin and Captivate led out from Dutch Aloney, The Graphic, and Stealth. Halfway up the hill, about three furlongs, _ Francolin was showing clear from Captivate, with Dutch Aloney and The Graphic next.

Singer was first out from an uneven line, West Dome being left. At the far turn ' Singer was well clear from Some Signal, with Ladv Lizzie and Killorna handy. Halfway up the hill Killorna ran into second place to Singer, and was well clear of Some Signal at the home turn.

Investments. £2,1764 (£3,308). * * * * Only King Balboa, who was sent out a hot favourite, Camisader, Aloney Peer, and Brightening saddled up for the last race, and they were backed in that order. Aloney Peer and Caniisader showed the way to King Balboa to three furlongs from home, where the latter moved up and followed Money Peer into the straight. At the distance post both Camisader and the favourite headed Money Peer, and without being fully extended King Balboa beat Camisader easily by a long head.
