NOTES BY "MOTUROA." (By Telegraph—Own Correspondent.) Wnnganui, Last Night. There was another interesting day's racing to-day in splendid weather. The tirsl. day's form was good to follow, five of Wednesday 1 *) seconds scoring to-day. I'iro At.ii and .Tackman were the best backed in the Hunters' Hurdles. Montague led for a mile and three-quarters, where 1 limitangi rushed through and

won. easily. Ranter and Comershai; fi 11. I Ik! latter broke, hi* neck, lli-reou* wast ;everely injured aliout t)u; head. .'iore■anibe was a red hut order for the Telegraph Handicap. IVkahnnuigi was quickest away, but the favorite easily headed him before turning for home, and won with ridiculous ease. Master Sylvia came fast in the third place. Labor ]>ay made an exhibition of his opponents ill the Flying Handicap, paying a fair price. Wirrall attempted to win the llaok Steeple all the way, but Connecticut headed him at the last obstacle, and scored handsomely. Wirral was odils-on favorite. Woodhey and Smilax were lh« punters' elect in the Orofton Handicap. Smilax and Projectile led past the stand, with Woodhey last The hitter improved I liifl position along the back, and caught Smilax at the distance, and fought out a neck and neck finish. Epsom Lass sneaked up on the rails, and won on the post. Heads separated the first three. Seventeen starters lined up for the Welter, St. Bees winning reisilv. Sandy Paul was blocked, or he might have ibcen second. Nothing but Euroco was backed for the Hurdles, and after Stourton had lod for a mile Eiiroco went to the front and won hard held in very fast time. Oxton ran off, and Irish Rifle finished last. Altcnr and Gold Battery were the only two backed in the Final Scurry. This pair got away first, and left the others. Altcar cried enough at the bend, and Gold Battery won comfortably from Axis, who finished' at a great pace. St. Bees paid the biggest dividend of the day, and ConIneeticut. nimitangi and Epsom Lass paid good prices.
