Good acceptances were received on baturday night for the first day's races of the Greymouth jockey Club and the public will sec* some of the best racing e\Aer witnessed on /the Omoto course.

Un Saturday Kin£- Try was worked early on the grass which Jvvas heavy and against any fast times Be ing done.

burmount, with Holmes in the sad die, and Wild Bird, with Langstone up, went six furlongs in 1.22, Wild tfird having easily the best of the gallop.

Balmy Breeze (Musson) and Mania (Devine) went half a mile in 56, both finishing well together.

Katua, Yeodel and L'Aifflon went half a mile in 54, the brother to Artillery having the best of the spin. .

Nortfi Pole (Bag-by), The Cdtnet, (Devine) and Aberration went seven furlongs, doing- the last half mile in 57 The Cornet finished in front. Ab erration was badly "beaten. I think North Pole would have been in the lead if he had been ridden out.

Golck Braid, The Orient, • Uproar and Nordoff ran six furlong's in 1.25. The Orient and Uproar finished to-g-ether, Gold Braid trailing behind. Nordoff pulled up very sore.

Tangaroa and Red -Wingr ran seven furlongs, doing- the last six in l.^o, not much to choose between them at the finish.

Moata and Herewardl ran half a mile in 54, the brother to Adria finishing in front.

I expect most of the winding up gallops will come off this morning.
