King Emerald was the popular pick for the Trial Stakes, with which the programme opened, carrying about £IBO more than Town Guard, while Cantab also had friends. The public nearly selected them rightly, for King Emerald won and Cantab was third. King Arch and King Emerald were the early leaders, but Cantab supplanted King Emerald before they crossed the top. However, King Emerald was never far away and, taking charge in the straight, beat Bold Front by a length and aquartcr. At the finish Cantab was only half a length away third, with Abbey Day, 'Wyoming, Town Guard, Daytaro and Bright Comet next. Town Guard was one of the last when the field had gone a hundred yards, but he, later, commenced to move up and was close to the leaders at the entrance to tlio straight. The race should improve him. Bold Front was about the middle of the field for the greater portion of the distance, but finished well in second place. Glencairn, Peter Rosa, Hangawera and Waiau Lad were the defections from the Orewa High Weight Handicap'. Ilangitahi was entrusted with about £620 more than Royal Form, while Ngarara was next best backed. Praiseworthy started off at a great .pace and going along the straight the first time was well clean of Kamchameha, Ngarara, Dead Sweet and Royal Form, who were racing in that order. Along the back the field commenced to close up, but Kamehamelia got knocked back. Dead Sweet ancl Praiseworthy led across the top from Kamehameha and Ngarara, but Dead Sweet. and Praiseworthy then retired. _ Kamehameha and Ngarara came into the straight together, attended by Royal Form. The last-named then took charge and Avon comfortably by a neck from Kamehameha, who beat Rangitahi by two lengths. Ngarara, Day Bell, Dead Sweet, Gienotus and Sea Comet were next. The favorite should be seen to better advantage before long. Nineteen paraded for the Zcalandia Handicap. Seat was a £5 better favorite than Archeno, while Tea Bell and Quincoma were next fancied. Flying Juliet, from the extreme outside, soon rushed to the front and stayed there along the back. She was attended by Tea Bell, Muscari, Charlady, Areheen and Qif\coma. The order was much the same crossing the top. Flying Juliet was first to turn for home from Tea Bell, Muscat, Quincoma, Charlady and Merry Damon.
