Deceitful was ourth and then came King Oscar. Linkman Again 1 The success of Linkman in the DurI Handicap was quite an easy one. nd V. Alborn had no cause for alarm •er the concluding stages. The first me past the stand Evelyn Loeanda I vVoke and interfered with Kotuku I , ac is June de Oro and Hector’s OAvn. I For three -parts of the journey the race ,‘vas good, bit at the bottom of the I , ira ight Kotuku Jack broke and | irought down Shadowland. This made I wrackler go Avidc out to avoid disj «ter, and the three-year-ohl had an 1 - n possible task a furlong away from orae. Linkman led into the straight nd went on to win comfortably by ivo lengths from Evelyn Loeanda, Tvho had more than a length to spare I mm Omaha. Then came Avenger and j Trampfast, Avho trotted a fine race. 1 IV. J. Tomkinson. driver of Shadow - and. was thrown out of the sulky and I injured his shoulder. He was unable ] io drive again during the day.

Free Holmes, driver .>l Delightful, got the Avorst of things, ,nd L. O. McNeill and O. E. Hooper 1 < scaped with a severe shaking, but the i uthers seemed O.K. Golden Author looked decidedly , imp on being returned to the birdcage, * ?ut it was it marvel that no one was >eriously hurt, the mix-up being at the | rastesi stage of the race. I lone, the winner, had two lengths I :o spare from Tumatakuru. who was I * nock in front of Wild Voyage. Lady I Cello and Rap tvere next to finish. Torchlight Shows Up I Mountain Ore was the elect of backts for the Autumn Handicap, but was beaten by a very narrow margin by in outsider in Torchlight. who reurned backers a royal price. Great •luon was in the van for a time, and * iloldena was prominent throughout. I mt Avhen it came to real business, I Torchlight and Mountain Ore drew | ight out, and in a desperate finish I :ne former prevailed from Mountain I Ore, who was about eight lengths in I -ront of Alpine Melody, after whom | Name Rafa and Exclusive. Accumulator Collects Accumulator outstayed the opposi'ion in the Utility Handicap, winning •a a tine finish from Kereta, who gulped nearly 100 yards to the finish. Oval, who had every chance at the dispeg. Avas half a length away in Dird place. folloAved by Aileen Wood [ nd Bon Elect, who made the pace about a mile and a-half. J Kereta was disqualified, and Oval placed second. Great Pacer Author Jinks trimmed the upposiI ti( >n well and truly in the Rakaia Handicap, his margin of safety from Slump & *ing a long neck. 1* was at the entrance to the straight Author Jinks appeared going very on the outside, the van being occupied by Slump. Author Jinks conLnued with his characteristic run, to ;? ach the Judge in the smart time of 2.43 3-5. Slump Avas always racing in a good Tuition, and ran a creditable race. The same applies to Hector’s Own. [ut Evelyn Loeanda lost her position 1Q lb© early stages, and did very well !° finish fourth. Of others likeliest to improve are Great Logan and Vikota. Mavis Wood Makes Good In the mile saddle. Mavis Wood took command early, and won from the ;*st-flnishing Young Bingen by half a •ength. The recent Australian importation, •lack Wattle, ran a good race into ‘bird place, and is evidently a fair Heroic had every chance. but th e opposition a bit too slick, as Routine.
