NEW ZEALAND METROPOLITAN MEETING.

Second Day. Stewards— J. Brabazon, P. Cunningham, J. B. Gresson, S. Garforth, J. Grigg, L. Harper, C. Newton, W. Reeves, H. Wynn Williams, L. Walker, A. Wilson, J. C. Wason; judge, M. Studholme; starter, G. W. Coventry ; handicappers, the Handicapping Committee ; clerk of the scales, T. Aoland; clerk of the course, E. W. Millett; hon. treasurer, G. G. Stead. After the propitious start as regards weather with which the C.J.C. were favored yesterday it was most unfortunate that a sou’-wester should have come up on the Cup day of all others and thus spoilt the attendance, or rather ruined it altogether. The Cup day is par excellence the ladies’ day, the one on which family parties are made up to enjoy a trip to the course and the mild excitement of racing. It was therefore doubly unfortunate, alike for the Jockey Club and the public, that the weather should have served the Club so unkind a turn. Of course, with the weather as it was, it could not be expected that, anything like an attendance would be present on the occasion. Sport commenced with commendable punctuality with the Juvenile Plate, for which there were four goers, the Hon. W. Robinson’s second string. Iris, being the absentee. The race requires little description, as Oudeis won almost as he liked from start to finish, the only one looking at all dangerous being Water Nymph, who failed to get on terms with the favorite. Tee Juvenile Plate of 150 sovs, with a sweep of 5 sovs each to go to second horse. For two and three-year-olds. Five furlongs. Hon. W. Robinson’s b c Oudeis, Albany —No Name, 2 yrs, 7st 71b (Derrett( 1 Mr E. Cutts’ hr f Water Nymph, 2 yrs, 6st 91b (Butler) 2

After one break away, which Water Nymph ran nearly a quarter of the distance with Oudeis part of the way, a very indifferent start was effected. Water Nymph and Oudeis getting the best of it, with Siesta and Minerva together in rear. After a few yards had been gone Oudeis took charge of affairs, with Minerva second, and Siesta going up. Water Nymph being third. At the rails Minerva made her effort, but was unable to stay with the Hon. Mr Eobinson’s colt. Water Nymph then came up and took second place, making a game struggle for the pride of place, but Oudeis, who was going well within himself, finished two lengths ahead of Mr Cutts’ filly, Minerva three lengths off third. Siesta last. Time, Imin 7-isec. The race was run in a smart shower.

For the Grand Stand Handicap there were five starters, and for this Lady Emma, Tasman, and Nautilus were the most fancied. Nautilus weighed out 2lbs over weight, carrying 7st 51bs. Tasman ran a good horse, and won by about a length and a half ; Emir Bey, who came up with a rush at the finish, being second; Lady Emma, third. The Geand Stand Handicap—A Sweep of 3 sovs each, with 100 sovs added; one mile. Mr D. O’Brien’s b c Tasman, St. Albans

Betting, even on Lady Emma, 2 to 1 Tasman and Nautilus, 5 to 1 Statesman and Emir Bey. After one break away, in which the colors of Tasman and Statesman were prominent, the lot were got away to a fairly good start. Tasman and Lady Emma were the first to show in, front in the order named. Nautilus third, Emir Bey fourth, and Statesman last. In this order they came to the rails, where Emir Bey and Lady Emma began to force the pace, the former running up into second place, and making it pretty warm for Tasman. Rudings, however, when well in the straight, brought out the whip to Tasman, who answered the call and shot ahead by a length and a half from Emir Bey, which distance he kept to the winning post. Lady Emma two lengths off third, and Nautilus fourth. Statesman fifth. Time, Imin I.49sec. There were 234 investors on the totalisator, of which 63 wore on the winner.

For the Canterbury Cup, which was the event of the meeting, there were five starters, Turquoise being scratched. The favorite was Cheviot, with whom the Hon. W. Robinson had declared to win, but after his running on the previous day there was a following who pinned their faith to him. He was only prominent once in the race, when he showed up near the straight run on the second time round. Sir Modred’s victory is a complete boil over as far as the Cup is concerned, as the two favorites were Welcome Jack and Cheviot, the latter for choice. The race was a very fair one throughout, the pace and time being good. Mr Robinson’s colts finished second and third, with Welcome Jack a fair fourth, and Mr Stead’s colt last.

The Canteebdby Cep, a sweepstake of 20 sovs each, with 500 sovs added; second horse to receive 50 sovs from the stakes; third horse to save his stake.. Two miles and a quarter. Mr D. Proudfoot’s b h Sir Modred, Traducer —Idalia, 5 yrs, 9st 51b (H. Thomson) 1 Hon. W. Robinson’s b c Cheviot, 3 yrs, 7st Gib (Smith) 2 Hon. W. Robinson’s br c Vanguard, 3 yrs, 7st 61b ... ... ...

After two false starts, in which Laos and Vanguard’s colors were conspicuous, a fairly good start was effected. Cheviot and Vanguard went in to make the pace merry, with Sir Modred, Leos, and Welcome Jack in the order named. Passing the stand the lot were well together. Cheviot still held the lead, with Vanguard second, Loos heading the next division, which comprised Sir Modred, and Welcome Jack in the order named. They ran this till near Ford’s, when Sir Modred went up. Vanguard and Cheviot still making the running. It was here to bo seen that Lcos was out of it, and that he would have no show. This left the race between Cheviot, Sir Modred, and Welcome Jack. The latter got on terms with his horses at the turn into the straight, but was unable to stay. At the rails Cheviot was still leading, with Vanguard and Sir Modred in close attendance. When they came into the straight it was plain that Mr Lunn’s colt had done all he could. Mr Proudfoot’s horse began to come here, and came on full of running, getting on terms with Cheviot and Nanguard, the latter of whom throughout had done level bast to make the running for his stable companion. Half way down the run in for home Sir Modred came away by about a length from Cheviot, which ho improved by another on

the post. Vanguard finishing third, about another two lengths. Welcome Jack being fourth, a length and a-half off Leos, who was last. L'ime, 4min 14}sec. There were 412 investors in the inside totalisator, of which GS were on the winner. The win was an exceedingly popular one. Sir Modred being loudly cheered on coming to scale. CANTERBURY CUP.

Billingsgate was the first to spring, but a few strides placed Merlin in the front. Fish Girl had laid back. Kalo came up with a good stride, and collared and passed the others in succession, and fairly cantered home, winning without an effort from the distance post. Time—l min SOisee. The number of investors on the totalisators, at 10s each, were 293, of which 45 were on the winner. Billingsgate did not finish. He was pulled up in the straight, and was so much broken down that his best friends ha-dly expect ever to see him on the turf again. |

The whole of the horses jumped cleverly, but the field spread out consideably, Harkaway assuming the lead. Going past the stand at the back of the course Chanticleer put on the pace, and cut through his horses and contended for the load in the straight. Ho was unable to come to terms with the leader, but he secured second place, Harkaway winning by two lengths, and Chanticleer beating Eawenata by a half length. Time, 4min 45sec. On the totalisator there were 415, of which 165 were on the winner.

Two others also ran. Major George declared to win witli Nelson, a fine upstanding young chestnut, and he was a general favorite. Of the two Musket colts Snyder was picked as favorite. Betting—G to 4 agst Snyder, 3 to 1 agst Mitrailleuse, 5 to 2 agst Musketeer, 2 to 1 agst Nelson, and 10 to 1 agst Wapiti. A .rood start was effected after some delays, and Snyder took the lead.

Tbe start was effected with some difficulty, owing to the fractiousness of Kenilworth, who wanted to get away before the flag dropped. Yattapa was quickest away, and all were in it passing the stand the first time round, Paramena leading by a nose, and a blanket might have covered the field. Venture soon forged ahead, and had a load at the back of the course, but soon Tim Whiffler came up, and Venture gave place to FitzHorcules. A grand race between those two ensued in the straight, but Tim finished with a lead of two lengths, Yuba Bill making a good third, Kenilworth fourth, and Venture and Maori a dead heat for the fifth position.
