FOXTON’S JUBILEE MEETING. MARK TIME WINS THE CUP. DEMONSTRATION AGAINST DECISION. The annua] meeting of the local Hub took place on Saturday and yesterday and despite yesterday’s very inclement weather, was a marked success. There was added interest in the meeting this year as it signalised the sixtieth year of racing in Foxton. To mark the event, the Racecourse trustees presented a beautiful cup, suitably engraved, to lie added as a momento to the winner of the Cup. In addition to this the winning jockey received a goldmounted whip (the gift of Mrs Kirkland) and the trainer a pair of binoculars (the gift of the Manawatu L.Y. Association). 'Phe course was in splendid order and the appointments and catering were very favourably commented upon. The general supervision of the meeting reflected great credit upon the secretary (Mr L. R. Freeman), his assistant (Mr Way), staff and the stewards. One visitor made the remark that the Foxton meeting was probably (he best supervised country gathering in the Dominion —and he has had experience with most of them.

Congratulatory telegrams and letters were received in reply to invitations from Ilis Excellency the Governor-General, whose secretary forwarded the following letter: — “His Excellency .sincerely regrets that he will be in Auckland on Ibe 22nd and his engagements there prevent his being aide to accept your kind invitation. T am asked to convey His Excellency’s congratulations to the executive and members of the Foxton Racing Club upon the occasion of its (if)th anniversary and his very best wishes for the success of the Diamond Jubilee meeting.” Other messages were received from the Prime Minister, Hon. D. 11. Guthrie, M.’sP., racing officials, pominent sporting men from all parts of the Dominion and from the Suva (Fiji) Jockey Club and the Chatham Islands Club. Among those present on the first day were many old settlers from all parts of the district, who had been associated with the club in one way and another for the past 40 years, including Mr J. Kebbell (Levin) who was instrumental in securing the

present racecourse reserve as an endowment from the Provincial G vernment which purchased the land from the native owners, and who still retains a position as one ul the original trustees in conjunction with Mr F. Robinson. Messrs J. A. Nash and Linklater, M.’sP., were also in attendance.

Although Saturday was not a holiday, the attendance showed an increase on previous years which indicated the growing popularity of the meeting. The special trains were well pair- aised while hundreds arrived by motor ears. The racing throughout was full of interest although the Hurdles opened wit'll misfwiduiie to four ho<.-e», fortunately without serious mishap to the riders.

The haudienpper, M. J. E. llenrys, had every reason to be well satisfied with himself, as his adjustments were responsible for some exciting finishes.

The starting gave rise to some unfa vourahle 'comments owing to the horses being kept standing at the 'post after the totalisator Hag had been hoisted.

Speculation on the totalisntor was fairly brisk, the amount handled during the first day being £lB,534, as compared with £18,410 on the corresponding day last year, an increase of £433. The Hurdle Race was made easy tor Eldenholm through Black-Night and Empyrean falling at the obstacle at the back - of the course, while Springtide and Adrienne, who appeared to have the race between them, did likewise at the last fence. This allowed Eldenholm to go on and win easily from Noble, rewarding his supporters with a very satisfactory dividend. Black Night, riderless, kept going and led past the winning post. Fleeting had no trouble in accounting for the opposition in the llimatangi Hack. Projector was well backed, but did not run up to expectations.

A very lvigh-class field contested tlie Foxton Diamond .Jubilee Cup, Print emps was the “favourite, Mark Time, Dissertation and Omaha being next. From a moderate start, Dissertation was first to show out, closely attended In Printemps, Admiral Codrington, Beloved and Cheer Up. The last named was in charge passing the stand, but going out of the straight Cheer Up raced to the front and with five furlongs to go his nearest attendants were Karoao, Admiral Codrington, Mark 'fime, Printemps and Dissertation. Hounding the home bend, the leader was done with and Mark Time took charge, and Kareao and Printemps moved up. On entering the straight, Mark Time and Printemps were together, with Printemps putting in a great run. An exciting race to the post took place, Mark Time on the inside getting the verdict from Printemps and Kareao with Cnxcelle, Ilallowro/, and Omahu close up. When the numbers were hoisted a great deal of hooting took place as the majority of the backers thought Printemps had won. On being seem after the race the placed riders expressed the same opinion. Immediately after the race Mr John Kebbeil, on behalf of the Racecourse Trustees, presented Mr Gaisford, the owner of the winning

horse, Mark Time, with the handsome Jubilee Cup, the trainer 11. Moss, receiving a pair of binoculars (given by the L. V. Association and presented by Mrs L. R. Freeman), and the jockey,' L. A. Pine, a goldmounted whip (given by Mrs W. Kirkland). The stewards subsequently entertained the whose health was proposed by tIM president, Mr J. R. Whyte. Silver San was favourite for the Maiden Race. At the start, Chestforte got chopped out, while Lady Passenger jumped out smartlv, and Bonny Louisa, Silver Sail and Rimutaka came along the back. On rounding the home bend, Silver San took charge and led into the straight. Below the distance, Rimutaka led and ran home an easy winner by a length and a-balf.

After March On and Empyrean had made the early running in the Awahou Hack the Foxton-trained Helen Rufus came through and though challenged by Skylight won comfortably. Snatcher was made a solid favourite in the Anniversary Handicap. He and Island were prominent to the entrance to the straight, where Birkie put in a claim and going on won easily from Island. Loyal Maid was selected for the Marotiri Hack, in which there were ten contestants Some Red and Princess Fran being the next best hacked. The favourite maintained her position all the way and won by length and a half from Some Red who finished well, and beat the fast finishing Princess Fran. Bonnie Gold was close up, fourth, then came San Eranette.

The Herrington Welter Handicap attracted eight runners, Yelociform, Correspondent and Royal Gift being supported in that order. Probate jumped out smartly and was never beaded, winning by two lengths! Over the concluding stages Yelociform drew out but had to be ridden right out to stall off a late run by Correspondent, to get second money by inches. After the race for the Cup, C. W. France, rider of Admiral Codrington, was fined £5 for crossing. FIRST DAY’S RESULTS. POROUTAWHAO HACK HURDLES, of 150 so'vs; second horse 35 sovs and third 15 sovs. One and three-quarter miles.. 7 J.
