The attendance is almost as large as yesterday, and the City Band are again in attendance. Mr E. Winsley is hard at it supervising the catering establishment, and the booths are kept very active. The fields, as yesterday, are large, and some of the finishes equally exciting. The presence of the yellow jacket and black cap of Mr G. G. Stead added a considerable amount of interest to the contest for the Hawke's Bay Stakes. The following are the results : March Handicap, of 100 sovs; second horse 10 sovs from the stake. 1 mile. F.

Lotion next to the rails was the first to show in front, but the lead was instantly token from him by Torpina, who led the field down the back stretch pulling double, with Petroline and Martyrdom his nearest attendants, and Leontini whipping in. At the railway bend the field closed on the leaders, and Huna landed first into the straight, with The Miser and Lotion coming fast. A great race resulted up the straight between the placed horses, Huna looking all over a winner, when the son of Torpedo shot out and won by half a length from Huna, Martyrdom a good third, The Miser fourth, Petroline fifth, Lotion sixth, and Leontini last.
