I Races at Dannevirke to-day and tomorrow. Opunake acceptances close on Friday at 8 p.m. Waitapu shaped poorly each start at Wariganui, and jumped very slowly. Winning Post changed hands on Saturday, 200gns being paid for the daughter of Merriwee, < The hurdler Te Whetu rapped a couple of fences hard on Thursday, and pulled up slightly lame. Meroze was practically friendless the first day at Wanganui, but on Saturday I carried about £2OO more on the maI chine, and she bolted in. Somebody ' must have been overcome with informaj tion! Waikaraka ran well in the earl> stages of the open hurdle races and jumped fairly well. He is improving in his style of fencing, and should repay watching. Prices generally were very low at the Wanganui thoroughbred sales on Saturday. Mr. W. Davies sold a yearling full brother to Sonite for 150gns. To Puia ran a fine race in the Wan- ! ganui Stakes, and is evidently on the up- ! grade once more. The daughter of San 1 Fran is engaged in the Dannevirke Cup I with 7st, and no one would begrudge Dick Brougli a change of luck to-day. I Lady Medallist capped her previous 1 creditable efforts by cantering home in i the Stakes in good time —2min 35 l-ssec. !' Mr. Prosser's mare will leave for Syd,l ney by Friday's steamer, and will con- '\ test the principal w.f.a events across '\ the water this autumn. Winning horsemen at Wanganui were: W. Price, E. Coleman, C. Jenkins • and H. Gray, two wins each; C. Emracrson, W. Ryan, H. Watson, T. Pritchard, H. Telford,. A. Olliver and E. Lowe, one win each. Con the Shanghraun covered himself •with glory at the meeting. On the first day he carried top-weight, Bst 61b, to victory, in the smart time of lmin 15sec, equalling Gladiole's time in the Flying Handicap. Despite a rise of 131b on Saturday Con the Shanghraun ran a close second to Jackpin in lmin 15 15 2-ssec. I The principal winning owners at the .1 Wanganui meeting were:—Messrs. J. I Ames, £575; G.
