Marlon Jockey Club was favoured

[ with fine weather arid a large attend- . ance for its spring meeting on Satur- ! day. The totalisator turnover £23,390, was a decrease of £>s699 compared ; with last year’s meeting. The meeting was a good preliminary outing for several of the horses, and will assist to get them into shape ! for the coming meetings, j Cochineal proved too good for the

three-year-olds in the Trial Plate, and finished a neck in front of the Tren-tham-traihed Vogue. Orellana was third; and Blush fourth. The winner : had the services of the local horseman, W. Bell, in the saddle, i Otauru Kid, who has had some pre-

vious successes at the jumping game, : got home in the Hack Hurdles. Mattock was his nearest, attendant. 1 The King Mark gelding, Mark Time • (a full brother to Ma.rqueteur) had the Spring Handicap in his keeping a i long way from home, his perforfance ' being an attractive one. Urgency was showing some pace at the finish, but could not reach the winner. Spook | filled third place. j After making the pace all the way, J Haurangi was pushed at the end ot

| the big handicap, and just beat War- ’ rawee a bead in a rattling finish, with ! Equitable going fast in third place a length aw r ay. Admiral Codrington, | Marqueteur and Rouen shaped well ! among the others, the first-named fln- ; ishing fourth. j The Hack Steeplechase was a poor ■ race, and only Tatton Park, the win-

; ner, and Rangi, who finished second, got over the course without mishap. | The popular Fox ton trainer, F. Car- : mont, landed the Electric Hack Handicap with Helen Rufus. Flying Neil ■ set off at a rah ling' pace, but in the j straight Helen Rufus challenged lesolutely, and went on to win by a 1 head. Yankee Dan was third and

Vindictive fourth. Inah got well away in the Railway Handicap, and was first .in the j straight. Here Civilform came to i light, and then Wrangle, these filling ! the first two places, with inah third. | Rapine, who began slowly, made a

! good finish in fourth place. , The public made a favourite of Comical in the Tutaenui Welter, and | he landed the stake. Bonibrook show.ed the way into the home stretch, where the favourite came to light

j with Santiago. These two finished in ! that order, Bonibrook third, j The New Zealander Molyneux was beaten a short head by Wirriway in the Spring Handicap a't Randwick on ! Saturday, and Loyal Irish, another ! New Zealand horse, was third in the i Tramway Handicap.

| Beauford, who downed the New j Zealand champion Gloaming at Randwick on Saturday, has had a wonder- , ful record. He had been only twice out of a place—once in a minor han- ! dicap at Broadmeadow, when with a big weight up he was being got ready . for the Epsom, and In the All-aged j Stakes just after he had run third in the Doncaster. He has given some

! remarkable demonstrations of speed. | He holds thei Australian mile and aj quarter record of 2.3 i, and there is j little doubt that if he had been push!ed he could have broken other re- • cords. His speed is phenomenal. He I does not shoot smartly out of the barrier like greased lightning, but

! jumps into his stride very quickly, . and when given his head, quickly I make mincemeat of the opposition. ! Beauford’s record is 24 starts, 15 wins, 1 1 second, 3 thirds, and 2 unplaced ! performances.
