RACING.

FOXTON CUP DAY. LEAPUKI WINS THE BIG EVENT. Although rain threatened just before midday yesterday, the weather remained fine until just prior to the last event on the Foxton Racing Club’s programme, the going being good, and some fair times being registered. The attendance was well up to the standard, and speculation brisk, the sum of being handled by the totalisator staff, as against ,£14,546 for the same day last ygjuj t Wfr Endell tYanklyn carried out his duties as secretary in a capable manner, while he was ably assisted by a busy band of officials, all of whom worked with a will to ensure success. The Foxton Borough Band enlivened the proceedings with a programme of catchy airs. •Mr A. Gordon, stipendiary steward, was in attendance, as a result of which Adams, rider of Lubriline in the Electric Hack, came in for censure for not riding h s s mount out. Nodder, rider of Chaminade, was questioned about interference wtth Sweet Van during the running ot the Foxton Cup, and was ultimately fined ,£5, and severely cautioned. Although three horses fell during the running of the Hack Hurdles, nothing serious happened to any of the horses or riders concerned. However, an unpleasant incident occurred at the close of the Dash Hack, Waioletta dropping dead after being pulled up, presumably through some internal trouble. C. Jenkins, who rode the winner of the last event, received a great ovation on returning to scale, The veteran certainly rode with all his old skill. Details of the racing are as follows : Hack Hurdles of 100 sovs,, second 20 sovs., third xo sovs. One mile and three-quarters. 4 F. S.

Sarbonite delayed the start by bracliousness and after unseating his rider got away, the field being despatched without him. Vigilant and White Plume were the leaders at the second fence, which proved fatal to the latter, also Black Queen and Lady Strowan. Master Strowan was always handy to Vigiiant and took the lead seriously half a mile from home to run home an easy winner by six lengths from Captain Macky, who raced as if sore, but had no difficulty passing Papador and Vigilant over the business end. Time, 3mm xSsecs. Electric Hack, of 100 sovs., second 20 sovs., third 10 sovs. Six furlongs. 2 -Sir Jas. Carroll’s b.c Want, 3yrs, by Penury—Lady Flora, 7.9, (R. Mason) 1 1 G.

Jenkins, however, rushed the favourite through and when half the distance was covered was lying fouath behind Leapuki. Sweet Van and Chaminade. Over the last two furlongs Chaminade and Ladify challenged Leapuki, and from the distance home the trio fought out an interesting finish. However, Leapuki stuck to his task and lasted long enough to win by a bare margin, Ladify a length away third, Victoris fourth, Imarose fifth and Sweet Van sixth. Time, amin 8 3*sth sec.
