He had his stablomate, F’oollooae, on his outer to the straight, and was tiius able to keep fairly clo=e to tho fence, and when he run on well in the straight nothing looked like getting to him. -a no topweight, Amigo, ' put in an appearance in third place as they ran round the turn, and he came on into a clear-cut second without troubling the winner. There was a great finish for the third money, Nigger Boy, on the outer, just getting up Irom Screen Star and 'ihe Buzzer who were almost in line with him. MARTON HANDICAP, of £2OO. Nine furlongs. 5- GAELIC SONG,' Mr J. Macdonald’s blk hi., aged, by Hunting Song— Piutliair, 7.4 (W. J. Mudford) ... 1 4- NOBLE FOX, Mr L. W. Davis’s blk m., 4yrs. car. 7.0. (C.

Time, 1.29 2-5. A head; two lengths. Homily was fourth. (Winner trained by J. J. Waller, Awapuni) The race was practically confined to Gaelic Song and Noble Fox. They made the pace from Winsome Lu, and the trio were never seriously challenged. Gaelics Song drew ahead front tho five furlongs, but Noble Fox was always bandy, and joining issue in tho straight they fought out a strenuous duel, Gaelic Song always having a slight advantage. Noble Fox pulled very hard early under tho moderate pace. Winsome Lu never lost her third position, but she was unable to make any impression on the pair in front. Homily was fourth, but Siegmund was left to it when the pace was cracked on. , * SPRING HACK HANDICAP, of £135. Ono mile and a quarter. 7- AUTO SWEEP. Mr L. Butler’s br h, 6yrs, by Captain Bunsby—Crubccn, car. 8.7 (P. Burgess) 1 1-1 HASTEN, Mr J. Mulvaney’s b g, 4vrs, 9.2 (W. J. Broughton) ... 2 11- GOLD BRIDGE, Mr D .Lourio’s b h,, 4yrs, car. 7.8 (A.

A head; a neck. Colibri was fourth. Time, 2.8 3*5. (Winner trained 'by Owner, Inglewood.) The win of Auto Sweep, though one of the surprises of the day, was gained by a solid

and meritorious effort. Not only did he carry 101 b over his handicap weight, but he was left in -front five furlongs from home, after being one of the leading runners up to that stage. The favourite, Hasten, looked as if tie might .win when he came at Auto Sweep in the straight, but the latter hung on just too well. An outsider in Gold Bridge came with a strong run at the end.

FAREWELL HACK HANDICAP, of £llO. Five'-f urlongs. 4-4 LUCULLUS 'BOY, Miss G. Twist’s br g, aged, by Lucullus —Unreasonaole, 9.7 (W. Jenkins) ... 1 1- KENTUCKY, Mr M. J. Moodabe’s br e. 3yrs, 9.3 (G. R. Tattersall) ... 2 2- ZEST, Mr W. S. Gleen’s bm, 4yrs, 9.5 (P. Atkins) 3

A length each way. Dark Eagle was fourth. Time, 1.8. (Winner trained by G. C. Swinerd, Greenmeadows.) -Lucullus Boy drew the fence but did not jump into the lead, Zest and Wings of Song careering away in front well clear. Kentucky, who had drawn wide at the post, made up ground last on the turn, and was with Royal Consort and Lucullus Boy as they followed the two leaders round. Kentucky ran on to be the first to challenge Zest after Wings of Song dropped out, and he looked the winner till Lucullus Boy went away and won very decisively. Kentucky beat Zest just as easily. T
