O'Connor was lined a fiver for despatching the field in the Manukau Hurdles before the advertised time. He confounded the time fixed for the closing of the tote with that of the race. Inniskillen won op each occasion, and is evidently in good fettle. Sol and Aqua Regia did not start in the re-run, but their backers lost, their money all the same. | The locally-owned Glen Yar carried a I lot of New Plymouth money on Saturday, but was not given a ryj? owing I to Hector Gray meeting with , n sect- I dent in the Guineas. Chanteuse ran a good race in 1 Welcome Stakes, but General Souft I caught her at the distance and scored in convincing style. j Dunborne, who fluked a. victory in tbe G.N. Guineas, is a son of the Auckland Cnn winner, Bluejacket. . T.uroa.'mipo. a TtJrm?yFaT-of<f -colt'TiyT Soult. won the Shorts from end to end. IJhlnnder put up a sterling performance whn he won the Birthday Handicap, one and a-half miles, in 2min 37 see. The son of Uhlan is in fine fettle, and was with the leaders all the way. The Waverley meeting was a "rent eucrrss. * " Dusky Morn proved that his win at Wansrnnin was no fluke hv brilliant!v winning two events. His sire. Son'Wrster is niostlv noted for producing leapers. That Dnskv Morn is no snail was nroved by leaving four furlong behind in 48see. and later on bolted over the same distance in « 2-ssec, cam-in" thn steadier of Mst lOlli. Little Marv, who scored a second and a third in the snrint events is n shapelv little fillv l>v Merriwee. and should win races if the company is not too selectCameron steered three winners at Waverley; Cochrane two, and Jackson, . Price and Fryer one apiece. A Victorian owner advertises his Rla."ion as "the winner of the greit English Derby on several occasions!" That owner's cool lying capacity is more marvellous than his horse's alleged performances. Saturday last, the King's Birthday, was a day of coincidences. Thing's Birthday led off by winning the Prince of Wales' Handicap at Waverley; Moral made a moral of the Wairarapa Cup at Oirterton. while The Stake landed the Stake in the Railway Handicap at the same place; Uhlander ran away with i P J ! Z ., raC ° at and Uhlando landed the principal events at Waverley: Probability proved more than a mere probability in the first race at Taratahi, and the Sensation of the Auckland mectinir was the downfall of Down- ! fall in the Great Northern Guineas. The Canterbury Metropolitan Meeting I must go down as a huge success, both 1 from a pecuniary and a sporting point, of view. The tote recorded £93,1.13 as acrainst £9O ~1(12 last year, and'the handicapping of Mr Henrys wis productive of many fine finishes, and he J'adlv beat the public on most occasions. -North Island horses gathered in the principal events of the meeting, includ- I in? the New Zealand Onp. Canterbury ! and Jubilee Cups, the Derby, the Steward s Handicap an d the Metropolitan.
