T.J.C. CHRISTMAS CARNIVAL,

THE CONCLUDING DAY

A RECORD MEETING. The Taranaki Jockey Club's Christmas carnival, which concluded yesterday, must easily rank as the most successful yet held by the Club, for the attendance, though not up to the previous day's record, was very large, and the totalizator investments amounted to £37,615, as compared with £34,873 for tho same day last year, making a total of £81,962 for the meeting, as compared with £87,017 last Christmas, an increase of £14,945 for the meeting, and constituting a record for the club.

The rain of the early mornng, while it may possibly have kept some people from a distance from attending, merely freshened up the turf, and the weather remaining fine throughout the day save for a slight shower prior to the hurdle race, an enjoyable day was spent by all Fields were large in the, majority of cases, and the finishes were close. The winners were hard to find, the first favorite only pacing the post in the van twice during the day. The totalisator q taff again had a busy day, but the organisation, jinder the able management of Mr. Rea, was good, and it was the public's own fault if any money was shut out.

The starting by Mr. Vincent was first class, whilst Mr, Cameron hoisted the numbers with promptitude. The field in the New Plymouth Handicap was the smallest of the day, a quartette competing for the 350 sovs. offered, Vermillion getting the big end. The open sprint went to the Aucklander. Scrap o' Paper.

>As on the first day the arrangements for tho gathering were complete, a tribute to the work of the secretary, Mr. U. P. Webster, and his stall". Mr." L. A. .Nolan, chairman of the eomnnttee, Eiiici tjie various stewards all carried out their duties thoroughly. The band, under Conductor F. XV. G. McT.eod, again rendered a programme of music that found appreciation with the audience. The booths, catering and afternoon tea were all admirably conducted. Results:—

(By to News.) Palmerston N., Last Night. The Manawatu Club wisely decided to go on with the second day of the summer meeting. and though heavy rain fell early in the morning the day was flne, and the course was in better order. The attendance was not

as large as on the first day, but was still up to the average. Most of the jockeys ridinff at Auckland came through, and the horsemanship at the meeting was improved. Racing opened with the Kelvin Hack Handicap, all Starting. Festivity am) Sweet Song both went over the thousand mark, no.

thing else being fancied. Passenger and Royal Rift led from a good start, with Sweet Song and All Cerise ne*t. The order remained the same to the turij, where All Cerise and.' La Paloma ran through. La Paloma got the better %f an interesting finish, beating All Cerise by half a length. Sweet Song was a length further back, and then came Passenger. •

There were no scratching* in fte Hurdles, and the much-boomed Man'.ahera was a strong order. Explorer, with A. McDonald in the saddle, also greatly • fancied, while Multive carried nearly three times as many tickets as on the first day.

Explorer was a poor third, and Sail Home was fourth. Coldstream came in for a hostile reception on returning to scale, the public evidently overlooking the vast difference In the state of the track.

Fifteen were saddled up for the Highden Handicap, and Barleycorn, Valley Ko3e, and Strategy were evenly fancied. Strategy broke an even line, and was never headed. }ankeo Dan and Kuia had a good set to for second place, with Barleycorn right up fourth. Kula returned a wonderful price, considering ter forward running on the first day.

Hyttus and Moutoa Ivanovo, were withdrawn from the President's Handloap, leaving six runners, of which Isabel and Marquetour were the only ones seriously considered. Bonnie Maid took up the running from a splendid start, and showed the way to Lovematch, Isabel and Dusky Eve passing the stand.
