Although penalised 101 b for the first day’s win, Gay Artist was again too good for her maiden opponents; in fact she won more easily than on tho previous occasion. Golden Memory, aided by a run through on the fence, secured second narrowly from Knightsbridge, Quexona and Sunder, who were all in line, the former pair deadheating for third money. TARARUA HACK HANDICAP, of £9O; second £lO, third £5. Five furlongs. 1 Mr H. F. Wood’s b g CONVERSION (Paper Monev —Pepper Pot), syrs, 8.3 (G. R. Tatlcrsall) 1 2Mr M.

Time, 1.2). Conversion was some places back early, but once he moved forward in the straight the race was over. Colleen Gain, out in front with Gay Molly, was cased at the finish, and was nearly caught on the pest by Captain Trcville. The latter was_ badly placed early, but finished well. Nothing else had any chance, and considering Convorision’s Trcntham form he paid a remarkably good price. PONGAROA HACK HIGH WEIGHT, of £100; second £lO, third £5. Seven furlongs. 2Mr L. D. Berry’s b g BUSTER BROWN (Weathervane—Zia), aged, 10.11 (I. Rohloff) • ••• 1 1 Mr 11. S. George’s br g EARL COLOSSUS, 6yrs, 9.11 (A. Jenkins) ... 2 4Mr S. Nowland’s b g TWILIGHT SONG, 4yrs, 9.0 (P.

Time, 1.30. An improved showing on the part of Buster Brown saw him wear down Earl Colossus at the finish of the Highweight, after the latter had looked all over a winner, Earl Colossus was the favourite and he had every chance. The others were well beaten and Camilla Horn did not run up to her first day’s form. MANGAHAO HANDICAP, of £140; second £ls, third £5. One mile and a distance. 4 Mr F. Flipp’s ch g, PLADIE, (Pala-din—-Canal), aged, car. 7.9 j (W. Broughton) 1 3 Mr T. A. Duncan’s b m HUNTING QUEEN, 6yrs, 7.10 (S. Wilson) ... 2 5Mr V 7. Hume’s b m TERRY, syrs, car. 7.0 (R. J.

Ho ran up on the outer on the turn and, hitting tho front in the straight, won with something to spare. Hunting Queen, prominent from the star, ran on a little better than Lucullus Lad, who ran his usual race out in front. Holen Ford did not run so well as on the first day, and Limbohm pulled up very lame. Terry ran a little better, though she appeared sore. JUVENILE HANDICAP, of £9O; second ' £lO, third £5; for two-year-olds. Five furlongs. 1 Mr A. C. Plummer’s gr g CHERRY PLUM (Beau Pere —Cherry Pie), 7.12 (M. Gilmore) 1 2Mr J.

Twenty Grand had every chance to repeat his first day’s success in the two-year-old handicap, but he was not good enough for Cherry Plum. Cherry Plum received a bad bump from Twenty Grand in the straight, but he recovered and finished on resolutely. CHAMPION HACK PLATE,, of £l2O

and a 15 guineas trophy; second £ls and third £5. One milo and a quarter. 5 Mr J. J. Austin’s b g SEYFRIED (Siegfried —Soyes Ferine), 4yrs,' 7.15 (C. P. Sheild) ... 1 1 Mr A.

Seyfriod, with a change of riders, was always well placed in behind tho leader, Agog, and taking charge entering the straight ran on to stall off a challenge by Moestro, whose running was an improve-, ment on the first day. Nereus, last in all the running, came home strongly for a good third, but he weakened again over the last bit, the ground to be made up being too much for him. Lord Quick ran only a moderate race. NEWMARKET HANDICAP, of £110; second £lO, third £5. Seven furlongs. 1 Mr L. C. Breakwell’s b g PASSION FRUIT (Lord Quex —Los Yogas), aged, 8.5 (R. Marsh) 1 5 Mrs M.
