The weather conditions wero very pleasant to-day for the second day of the Canterbury Jockey Club's Grand National meeting, and the attendance was again huge Tile day's racing was particularly Interesting. The opening event, thn Woolston Handicap, was reslrlcted to apprentice riders, and Greek Sen owed his success very largely to being better bandied tban some of the others The Boss w;:s sioft- to begin, nmr is seemed unlucky that he was onlv second. tortrll showed pace, hut stopped badly. The .Hunt Club Cup drew a field of eight Bin T«rry and Lawsuit outclassed the others and the* v=erc naving a good light when Lawsuit fell at the last fence. These two have me- four times fhl.« winter, Bill Terry bein«in frort three times, but there is not much between (hem, and they will be both good in .-mother year.

Oaklcigh was n hot favorite for the Beaufort Steeplechase, and he won easily, after being one of the. lenders all the way Form pointed to him after the Grand National (-olden Prince was out m front from the start, and seemed to be going well, when he came down at the kennels double It was the first time he had ever fallen. Crib finished on well to heat San Sebastian, who was tiring, and just lasted lone; enough to get third, with Merry I,ad clow up Carmine was a strong favorite for the Sumnat Handicap, but though he finished well he was too badly placed early to have any chance. Hljh Heels shewed greatly improved form by making the most or the running hut she failed to stall off Walton's late run Of the others Sir Fanciful ,-nd Chaeronia were easily the best.

v.m i ,?' I,rteen llnwl "P for the Grand Mtloial hum os. Kauri King and Lochella were the popular fancies, hut neither got into the money, throe outsiders filling the places hauri King got off badly, and had to cover a ]& T * Br °, Uml . . He Bilß ono of «'" fr™t three turning for home, but ho stopped after lumping the last fence. Lochella did much worse, as he was never prominent. Hvlans gradually worked his way through from the back and he and Kauri King were in front at the last hurdle. Hylans then drew away, hut .lack Symons came with a great run and just failed by a neck. It looked as if he was unlucky. All the same the performance or Hylans was a smart one Fisher was third being prominent. J.adoguer was stopping badly at the end. hut too much use was made of mm. All Talk fell when in the lead.at'the end of half the journey while at the next hurdle Clay Light was going well when he fell and broke his neck, but they were too far from home to permit calculations as to how they would have shaped. Cold Kip was favorite for the August Handicap, but he was never seen, while Klllowen was too badly placed early to hare a chance Clean Sweep nm past Will Oakland and Astlnome at tho distance, -and won oasiiv He u a good horse.

r..ann.Fli, tlio favorite for the Spreydon Hurd es, was favorite in a field or elevpn hut he shaped moderately. Tatiml ran to the front a long way from home, and though he Jilt a hurdle hard, ho won easily from Genera: retain, who. wll! make a useful jumper. Jhe Islington Handicap drew nine romn«(i_ tora. Heather Sprig was favorite, and tried to win all tho way He appeared lo have iJie race in hand at the distance, but Roval St»T rame with a great rattle, and beat him on ihe, post in attractive style. Loyal Arch and Arch Snlule were well placed 'oil through, and finished just behind the leading pair.
