EGMONT RACES. CONCLUDING DAY’S RESULTS, MARQUETEUR WINS AGAIN. The Egmont Racing Club’s summer meeting was concluded yesterday, under fine weather conditions and in the presence of a good attendance. Despite the rain of the previous night, the course was in good order, and interesting racing was witnessed. Fields, with the exception of the Hawera Stakes, in which .only two competed, were good, and finishes were on the whole close. Mr. Coyle had so well concealed the than in only two handicap events did riders of first favorites salute the judge. Speculation, though a long way below last year, was brisker than the previous day, £26,037 being put through the machine, as compared with £46,366 for the same day last year, a decrease of £20,329, making a total for the two days of £49,487, compared with £91,025 last year, a decrease of £41,538 on the meeting. The principal event, the Atkinson Memorial Stakes, went to Marqueteur, who won the same event in 1919, the Egmont Cup winner running a good race. Gloaming had no trouble in winning the Hawera Stakes. As on the first day, the officials all attended to their duties well, a word of praise being due to the courteous secretary, Mr. V. B. Stratton, and his staff. Detailed results are as follows: — OKAIAWA HURDLES, of 300 sovs.; eecofid 50 sovs. and third 20 sovs. One mile and a half. 6—S. R. Hammond's b g TE MAIRE, syrs, by Yankee Jack—Torpedo mare, 9.9 (L.

Of the seven to face the barrier Silver Link was backed as if the race was over, carrying nearly as much as Capping Day, Income and Inah, who were next in demand. Inah was quickest to find her feet, and led the way to tho turn, with Kula and Capping Day close up and Silver Link fourth. Here Income, who got away badly, improved his position and was lying handy as the leading trio hit the home stretch, with Inah still in the van. A great run home ensued. Income scoring by a head from Kula, wto came again over the ' concluding stages. Capping Day was a length away third, just in front of Awake, who got away badly and came from a long way back.

In a good bettihg race Danger Zone was unade about £ 100 better favorite than Crossfire, whilst Leithfield and Wairarapa were also solidly supported. When the field was finally well dispatched Mixture was the first to stow out, but quickly gave way to Wairarapa, who after a couple of furlongs had put a break of about three lengths on the field, with Snatcher as her nearest attendant. At the bend tho field was closing up on the leader, who turned for home just in front of Snatcher and Roman. At tho distance the last named was in front, and in a great finish got home by a neck from Leithfield, who came up fast on the rails and beat Wairarapa by a similar distance for secorid money.

Affectation was quickest to show out, and led the way over the first furlong from Egmont Park. . The latter then went to the front and held command passing the stand from Affectation, Stork, Marqueteur, and Egotism last. At the six furlongs Stork hit the front and established a lead of about two lengths from Egmont Park. Ttree furlongs from home the field closed up and Egmont Park took command, with Marqueteur handy.
