■■■ « ■ ' ■■ « " " — Leod and Mr T. H. Lowry, the club had two sportsmen who were respectively the president and vice-president of the New Zealand Racing Conference. They were two of the most Btaunch supporters of the Hawke's Bay Jockey Club, and had stuek to the club during the lean years. * The race just run was the fiftieth eontest since it had been calLed the Hawke's Bay Cup, and it had produced a splendid race. The Hawke's Bay Cup had in years gone by brought together the best horses in New Zealand. and had been oue of the most important races in the Dominion. He hoped this year's race would bo the turning point and that the Hawke's Bay Jockey Club would again become oue of the leading racing bodiea in the Dominion, and the Hawke's Bay Cup oue of the most important racing events. The race had been won by a local owner, and one who was known everywhere for his nprightness, and his win was a popular oue.

In congratulating Mr Hennah on his win he had also to congratulate him as the trainer, for Mr Hennah trained his own horse, and all who knew that training played an important part in racing success. Mrs G. D. Beatson, wife of the prosidont, then presented the cup to the winning owner. Cheers were then given for the owner, ridfir (G. Tattersalll and donors of the cup. Mr Hennah briefly returned thanks. Owing to the events being run wqll behind the scheduled starting time, the last race was not run until five o'clock, when visibility was very poor. The stables of Messrs H. S. Greene, Greenmeadows, and G. W. B. Greene, Hastings, were the most successful, cach having two wins. • The totalisator handled £11,452 for the day, as compared with £7263 for the corresponding day last year, being an increase of £4189. The most heav-ily-backed race was the Hawke's Bay Cup, when £2669 was put through the machine, This represents the largest amount invested on any single race for many years.

(J. Forsyth), 12 Soho 7.7 (R. Marsh), 13 Passion Flower 7.7 (H. Callahan), 6 Gharade 7.7 (H. Wiggins). All fourteen . acceptors for the Hawke's Bay Cup were saddled up. The horses created a favourable dmpression as they paraded around the birdcage and walked down the straight to do Iheir preliminary. It was a fitting field to mark tho occasion of tho golden jubilee Of the cup race. The field got away well, and came down the straight in line. When they had settled down in their running positions Pakanui 's colours were the first to be seen out in front, followed by Mandamus, Haut Monde, Werohia, Catalogue, Passion Flower and King 's Lancer, while Soho was chasing tho team out of the straight. In the next furlong a cliange was effected, Catalogue taldng over command from Passion Flower, Pakanui, King's Lancer, Mandamus, Gay Boy, Charade, Big Dook and Padishal), Haut Monde receiving a slight clieck going past the caretaker 's cottngo, Passion Flower

Lancer Haut Monde, Charade and Padishah wore handy. Soho was still the whipporin. At tho half-mile bend King's Lancer and Passion Flower were the pucemakere, with Gay Boy in third position, just in front of Catalogue, who was beginning to drift, Mandamus, Haut Monde, Big Dook, and Padishah. From here to the entrance to the straight tho big field began to elose up, and it was a pretty sight as they rau down the High School bend and into the straight, as at this point there was not a horse that could not be said to possess a winning chance. Passion Flower and King's Lancer were still doing their duty as pacemakers when they straightened up, with Catalogue just ahead of Haut Monde, Gay Boy, and Big Dook, while the ultimate winner was about seventh or eighth, but gradually putting in his bid. Down the straight the two pacemakers began to weaken, and the first to take the lead ofE them was Gay Boy, and at the distance the Manawatu gelding was being proclaimed the winner when Padishah began his devaetating rnn. Inside the distance the cheering began for Padishah, and in a splendid finish Mr Hennah 's gelding got up to win by a long head, with a length back to Haut Monde. Mandamus was fourth, and Passion Flower, who ran a surprisdngly • good race, fifth. Time, 2.6 1-5. NURSERY HANDICAP. Of £100; 5i furlongs. 1 THE CROONER — Mr T. H.
