Sooohd Day^

; The weaithe'r was" again very delightful on SdtuMay, when the Foxton Racing Club copc|Udeii its; annual meeting. The attendance,’ though not to* be compared with Friday, which was; of course, a general holiday, waS most satisfactory, Palmerston, Feifding add Rangitikei visitors- again being prominent in the crowd. The racing was, - if ’ anything, better than on the first day,' blbse finishes being almost' mOfiOtOubtisly prfeVa- ( lent. White Star sHo\vedthiat his f form in the Cup was quite''sound'* by appropriating ' the President’s Handicap in* excellent style, Coming with a rattle on the, post, and extinguishing the chances 1 of’ the 1 had assumed- Command at the' t'U'rri for home.- Ahotbef doubie WinnCi was Mendip, who accounted for the January'Hack meeting,'as oh the first; day,’ waS* excellently "mahagCdj officials’ vicing with each hthef in their at- 1 tentlon to duty courtesy to visitors; an v attribiitC that is-gpatiy*' appiCciated-by those'having*husß ; y dp.The toslisator*eturn A; “* for the day= were 04891, which, with .the previous day’s total of made- a : total of for the meeting, as compared with last year.,,,. Bookmakers’ fees on Saturday "totalled making for the meeting.. Mr T; Cameron wias in his best form,' his. despatches being excellent on each day of the meetings Seven ■ acceptors went* to the post in the Hurdles, Grenade and Lp- * thair being the absentees. . Whimper took Chargfe from the jump and led the field at a fair pace to ,the five-furlong post, where Coy, wfib - had been lying third, just’behind Don Carlos, took charge, and led round the home turn. Half way home; Don Carlos and Maidi came with a rattle, and the former,; cutting down Coy hfi the post,; won a good race,by a head; afid Maidi, a, length away, came third. Whimper was* fourth, close up, anil Scenery fifth some distance away. Eight was the main'in the January Hack Handicap, Taunmno declihing her engagement. The public settled upon Sit Possible as good goods, and made him favourite, but he could get no nearer than third to Mendip—a winner on the previous day—and Castigilioue, who also scored on the previous day. K Kiminerian was responsible for the pace set, Castigilioue lying second 7 and.going oh with the game from the home turn, where Kimmeriau dropped back ; beaten. Half-way k down the straight Mendip came with a dash, and annexed the stake Vhy a neck, with a length between W Castigilione and Sir Possible. Buoyant was fourth, and Miss Vera fifth. All the acceptors went to : the post in the President's Handicap, Roosevelt, with W. Price up, going out a very warm favourite, entirely SUpplahfeng ; previous day’s winner, White Star. The result showed what very poor judges the public are on occasions. Roosevelt was quickest on his feet, and passing r the stand, was out in front of White Star, ‘ and Lethean with Flotilla and Tangeroa in front of the others, and Kilmarnock last. The order was unaltered to the six-furlong post, where Lethean ran up into second place, and a furlong further On Tangeroa drew up on terms with Roosevelt, Flotilla and White Star being in front of the others. Tangeroa was first into the straight, but in -the run home was caught and passed by ,< White Star, who won by a neck, ‘ with necks separating Tangeroa, Roosevelt, Lethean and Kilmarnock. The Carnarvon Welter produced another exciting finish, the Cockatoo getting, home by a neck from Anemone, .yrith Windage close up, third. Cute, who ;was responsible for the pace set, finished fourth, just in front.of Liquid Airl Waiouru, who was the ; favourite on the machine, bolted bnce rotind before the tapes were released, and finished last in the race.’ A field of ten faced the starter in the Maiden Hack Scurry, punters selecting Clemora and Fond Memory as first and second favourites. Prevail cut out the running, leading tb the turn for home, where Clemora passed' her;- ahd looked a winner at the distance, when Fond Memory arrived on the scene, and > at the post won by a neck, Prevail ‘ close up, third, with Finnesseur and Amakura next; The Newmarket Handicap resolved itself in the early stages into .a match between Kirsty and Lord Soult, who quickly placed three or four lengths between themselves and Nanmai, who was at the bead of the others. At the home bend the field closed up a bit, but it was not till the post: was reached that separation took place, and then Toa Tuhi,- with a fast run* got Jfctween Lord Soult and fclttty, .Mating the. Soult eelding bysk;bare margin for second place* Waipaku was fourth, then came. NaumaiyLady gk' Menschikoff. and Surmount. The HLclimax upon the.'Series of close had taken-place during {be day,* the judge being unable to separate Clemora and Marton at the pdst„ whilst Genuine, -a-win Her ' on the previous day,; was; only; ai neck away, third, and had he made his; run a bit sooner, would have been closer. Marion led his field to the home turn, where Clemora closed up on hip*,; and a few yards . further on Genn||s put in a claim. A most interesting race to the post ended 'as stated. The final event of the meeting was won by Belano, who heat Mallet bn , the post by a heck. Rangihaeta was first round the home bend, but failed to see it out, when serious business commenced, and. finished A length away, third. Moscow was prominent for six furlongs, and then fell

back beaten. t Appended are general details:—

Reid Disqualified: There was an unpleasant incident in connection with the first race, won, by Waikaraka (C. Jen-, kins) at Wellington on Saturday, says the Dominion, which resulted in the disqualification of the wellknown jockey, S. Reid, .who had but recently been offered the posi-, lion lof private trainer to .Mr D. Buick, M.P. Reid rode Cousolaitou into second place, and during the running of the, race appeared to attempt to pass on the inside of Tauira when there was not much of an Opening. Sir George Clifford, president of the Racing Conference, who was present, was seen to hold a short conversation with the jockey on Tauira when the latter returned to the birdcage, and in the meanwhile Mr W- E. Bidwill, owner of Consolation, had been expressing to some of the stewards, his disapproval of the manner in which Consolation had been ridden, and Mr J. R. McDonald, owner of Tauira, was uot satisfied with the run his horse had received. The stewards had already made up 1 their minds to hold an enquiry, and the result of their meeting, as delivered to the press, was that S. Reid, rider of Consolation, was disqualified for 12 mouths for interference with Tauira, and for not trying to win with Consolation.
