HAWERA RACES. SECOND DAY. (By Oar Special Reporter). The concluding day of the Egmont Hieing Club's Winter Meeting was held under favorable weather conditions, and the attendance was fair.

Although the fields in jome of the events were small the racing was most interesting, and olose finishes were recorded in almost every race. The totalisator investments on the first day amounted to £1,246 and the second day £4,083, as against £5,435 and £1,581 for the tame* meeting last year, making a deficiency of £1,687.
