THE RACING DESCRIBED. NOTES BY "MOICP.OA." (By Telegraph.— Special to Dally News.) Wanganul, Last Night. Heavy rain fell during the night, but the weather had cleared up nicely by u,e time the 'first race was run. and the concluding day of the meeting was held under perfect climatic conditions. There was a. large attendance of thn general, public and the racing throughout was thoroughly first-class. The rain of the previous days had made the track heavy, and as a consequence Uio times recorded' were somewhat on tho slow side. Everybody connected with the management carried nut his duties In a capable manner, and the gathering will always he remembered as a very successful and enjoyable one by these jtho participated In the sport provided during the two days. Racing was resumed with the running of the Autumn Handicap, which attracted thirteen runners. The only absentee was Active, who faces better when the going Is on top of the ground. Eorealls. who ran badly on Thursday, was made favorite, while Esihonia and Demagogue, who were first and second on the opening day. were paying a false price. When the field wero sent away Jutland and Ermine were prominent, and this pair showed the way out of the straight. But. going around the back srretch Demagogue moved up, followed by Esthonla. The pair were first Into the straight from a bunched field. Demagogue too!: the lead a few hundred yards from the post and had to Ik> hard ridden to win by half a length from Esthonla, with Rose Queen close up third. Kinsem, winner on (he first day, was ■ the public choice for the Mataravvn Hack race. Pnrorangl was also well supported from the right quarter, while the New Plymouth, owned and trained Qulnlro, with Grav in the saddle was a quiet paddcek tip. The latter, however, was never sighted on the journ.ev, but may see n better day in the near future. Kinsem was always well placed and ran home an easy winner without being estended br a length and a half from Egmont Park, who'defeated Dainty Step for second place bv n long neck, with Philomela close, up fourth." Kinsem is a real sood sort and should win again this season, while Parcrangi could not act in the soft going Pnssin' Through and Demand were taken out of t)\o Jackson Stakes, leaving a field of Ave horses. Silver Link was made favorite, while Acre carried about £3O less than Mr Aleiander's marc. The Kembnll bracket, Hymes'ra and Miss Gold, were neglected on the machine, and the pretensions of the two-year-old listowel were never seriously considered Sliver Link was quickest, to begin, with Hymesirn. in close attendance, while Aero was handy. Hymeslra took the lead entering the straight and galloping very kindly won very easily by n length and a half from Acre, with Silver Link a similar distance away third Listowel bent Arias Gold for last place The time, lniin: lCsec, is the slowest that the race has occupied since it was inaugurated In

Onldstream, who has come back to form as n hurdler was made a firm favorite for the Fwdell Handicap hurdle race, and the Issue was never seriously In doubt, for after allowing Ratana and Explorer to make play up to the half mile post, the goldlng went, to the front and was never afterwards troubled, oventually iwlnning very easily by a couple of engths from Explorer. Ratana was another length away in third place. Zola and Army Service fell. R Hunt, rider of the latter received a sprained wrist, while E. Copestake (rot a shaking up when the struck the. ground after pnrthig company with Zola Pure Laziness was the only withdrawal from the Okola two-year-old handicap, for which Insurrection carried well over £2500 on her prospect* out of £BOOO -Invested on the to'alfsutor. Carry On and Verbosity were the first to show out, wliile Isabel was badlv lef Entering the straight Rleuse moved up! while Isabel was making up her lost ground fast looked all over a winner a couple of hundred yards from the post, when Isabel came fast on the outside of the field and finishing in the centre of the course in fine style, won an excising race by half a length from Verbosity, while Rleuse and Insurrection dead heated for third place a counle of lengths furUier back. Isabel Is by Hallowmas from that good mare Crucllnella, and is endowed with some exceptional sprinting powers She returned the largest dividend paid out during the afternoon. There was a big pool in the machine on the o *' " let 0"" n,nnll! f to close on fclo,ooo. Taiamal was the actual favorite, but there was very liberal support for Kilmoon, Lorematoh and Oratress, while all the other runners were all very evenly backed From a splendid start'the colors of Talamai and Moutoa became prominent, and this pair led past the stands, where Client was running last. There was not much to choose bctfcwcen them as they swept around the back, where it was noticed that Gray had Taiamal In the lead ™cil „ couldbd seen wending his way through. Bv the time the straight was readied Client was very handy, and catching Taiamal half-way tin the straight, the chestnut went, on to win Tory easily by three lengths, with Oratress who had run a. very game race, a similar disance away third Both Client and his rider C £ f, e ;J e f iVWI , 11 Ere ",' nvation ™ "toning to weigh In, owing to the fact that the horse's of he Club, while Trice was making his farewell appearance as a jockey as he has embarked upon the hotel keeping business The Harrison Hack Handicap, a race'for apprentice riders, attracted a useful field of twelve runners, for which Kllgour was backed as if the event, was .1 foregone conclusion. H,ivcrsack was the first to show out from an excellent start, while Army Service and Wir ?."«Lr« '" l " n I .™ lnin -V Tell - Kn'ering tiie straight the field were fairly clone together and the youthful riders were all i-idin" well' Half-way up the straight Tame Fox took the lead, and nicely handled bv .1 Hare a p nr j e ]| light-weight, won nicely hv a length and a half front Haversack, with Better Luck who put In a fine run over the last portion a similar distance away third. Armv Service was cloao up fourth. ' • There was a big pool of over £IO,OOO. which was the largest. Investment on the totalizator over the two days, on the machine for lie Farewell Handicap, which brought the meeting to a close The imported horso Arrowsmith carried close on SSnoo. while, the monc,on Lord Kenilworth, 80-Veep. Astinome. Chimera and Swanee River all ran into double figures. From an excellent start. Swat'io River was the first to sho.w ou', while Arrotvsmith was slow to move, a remark thai also applies to Inah and Ch'iaiora, both of whom Tailed to run up to expectations. When the (Straight was entered 80-l'eep threw out a challenge, and passing the leaders and galloping in rare style, went, to the frrai'. and bent the fast flnlshinc Arrowsmltli hv n clear length Swanee River was a similar dl-'ance awny third, with Chimera close up fourth - The success of 80-Peep marked the third

Cotlble Wn of horses during the two days, the other horses to win being Klnsem and Goldstream. A feature of to-day's racing was the success of F. Tliley's Fordell stable.
