(By "Ifoturoa"), Large fields and capital weather failed to draw more than a moderate attendance on the opening day of the, Canterbury -J.C. summer meeting on Thursday, and the tote only recorded £4781, the bookmakers contributing £225 to the spoil. Stead's Nobel was rushed for the Trial Stakes, but was too sore to make any showing, and Valdimar made no race of the pthers, winning by four lengths. Hilarity, who carried a pile of shiners in the Hornby Welter, was never sighted. Contender was soon ill front anil led to the distance, where the welter weight told its tale and Golden Cairn, who had a good run all the way, won an interesting race by three-quarters of a length. Contender is very well and should race better under a lighter scale of weights. . Flitawav, and hardly anything else, was backed in the Filly Stakes, and followers of the favorite had ail anxious time of it. She hopped out quickly ami Jed to the straight, where she faded ■back to the ruck, and .Miss Mischief and 'Passion led to the distance. Here Flit■awav came with a brilliant run, and just ■got up in time to snatch a neck victory. The much boomed English-bred Ornmhi l(by Orme) started in this race, but began badly and ran worse, finishing 'fourth.

i The Midsummer Handicap puzzled ipunters, most of the runners being cvc-.t-ily backed, Glenculloeh was ill front when the. straight was reached, but at 'the distance Prim came with the rush ihat scoops most coin and scored by a length anil a-half from Tikiterc, who 'finished fast enough to beat Glenculloeh 'by a neck for second money. "Cynibiform was a warm order for the Lyttelton Plafe, but nothing had more ■tiian n rear view of Ingodiv (Stepniak—<Armigera), who won all the way. There was any amount of money for Czar Kolohot iii the Craven Plate and 'the favorite llHile most of the running. Inside the distance Lady Disdain came nvith a rattle and got the best of a <-losc finish by a long neck. l):sino was* up against a poor crowd ill the HalsweU Welter and taking ciiiuniand in the. straight had no difficulty in winning by a couple of lengths, i Sir Geo. Clifford appears to hold a strong hand at Riccarton to-day. Broad-.-.word will be given a run in the Middle IL'ark Plate, anil in six out of seven races the "blue, and gold chequers" will probably be unfurled. Oleiieulloeh seem« to be back to form again, but found the mile and a-half t"o Jar for him on Thursday. . A further budget of Turf Topics appears on page 4 of this issue.
