Racing Conference levies amounting to £133 18s lOd, and accounts totalling £B3 15s Sd, were passed for payment. TURF TOPICS. (By “Moturoa.”) Wanganui races on Thursday. Winners were hard to pick at Marton. Mark Time should win a race at Wanganui. Eerie ran a good race for a imile in the Marton Handicap. Rapine has grown into a fine horse, and should be worth following. Feildlng-ltes were in on Loyal Maid on Saturday, but she was never in the hunt. But for being crossed at the last fence, Matlock would have beaten Otauru Kid in the Hack Hurdles at Marton. Gasbag looked big and well, but was not unduly knocked about in the Marton Handicap, and was amongst the last three to finish. Mr. H. McManaway was so disgusted with Bonny Rill’s running on Saturday that he gave her away to Mr. “Johnny” McDonell, the well-known Marton “sport.” When the thousand-guinea colt Hula 80/ fell in the Trial Plate he fractured a shoulder, and was subsequently destroyed His rider. Con. Reed, was badly knocked about in the melee. Even allowing for a field of eighteen, Cochineal returned a false price, running into two figures, when he won the Trial at Marton. Waverley punters benefited considerably by Ils success. Vogue, who pressed Cochineal hard in the final stages of the race, is a thre-year-old filly by Bon (form—Effort, and therefore fullsister to Bonny Effort and Active. She had

all the worst of the send-off, but will win a race soon. Whizz Bang was a big tip for the Hack Hurdles at Marton, but the fast pace set In the early stages left him too much ground to make up in the straight. He finished on ftrongly, and should do better over a longer distance on his favorite course, Wanganui. There was a lot of money for Mr. Eric Riddlford’s Kalka (King Mark—Simois) in the Hurdles at Marton, and he finished up second favorite. His showing was most disappointing, and H. McSweeney appeared to have a most uncomfortable ride. A lot of stay-at-home punters missed Mark Time’s fine dividend on Saturday through an error in the Press Association wire, which gave the King Mark gelding as an acceptor in the sixth race, the Electric Handicap, instead of In the third event, the Spring Hack Handicap. When Mark Time came through as the winner of the third race on the programme punters were entitled to “go crook." Mark Time’s victory was one of the easiest of the flat-racing during the day. From No. 1 position he held command leaving the straight, and was then passed and knocked back to about sixth position. At the home turn he had run into third place, just behind Lady Hill and Urgency, and in the run to the box he made them look very cheap. Mark Time will have 11 lb more to carry at Wanganui but will be a runner—and a very dangerous one at that. Marqueteur’s full-brother is a great little horse I The Riccarton-trained Urgency (Clarenceux— Madrid) was never further back than second in the Spring Hack Handicap on Saturday, and ran a really fine race. Freddie Jones should win a race or two with him before returning home. “Billy” Dwyer had Spook looking very well at Marton, but the Sylvia Park gelding was badly pocketed during the running of the Spring Hack Handicap, and with ordinary luck might have been second. Now that Spook has shown a marked dislike to the hurdling game, he should be kept for flat-racing—-for welters for preference. Punters were rather wide of the mark in sizing up the likely winner in the big race at Marton. Admiral Codrington was a hot order, and Omahu, Eerie and Tenterfleld were all better backed than the winner, Haurangi. The latter went to the front from the rise of the barrier, and was not headed, running in a winner from the fourteenth favorite, Warrawee, who finished well. The winning post came just in time for Haurangi I The order of favoritism in the Marton Handicap makes interesting reading. Outside ‘he above-mentioned horses. Gasbag was the rank outsider of the fifteen. Marqueteur was thirteenth, Beloved twelfth. Prince Martian eleventh. Big Push tenth, and Rouen ninth. One of these days you will notice most of the above occupying very different positions in the betting scale, and that will be the tip to "get in.” Hack steeplechasing is at a very low ebb at present, and the exhibition provided at Marton was simply shocking. The same horses (?) ate engaged at Wanganui, so the prospects at the latter place are not bright. Of the nine saddled up at Marton, only two completed the course without mishap, and at the finish both tired to a jog. Whipcord, whose rider, L. Smith, rode ridiculously short, was made favorite, and but for running off must have won-. The winner, Tatton Park, had several “lives,’’ and only H. McSweeney’s desperate riding carried him through. The hunter Ringi, who, owing to an injury, had not been worked for a fortnight, ran himself out early in the race, but struggled into second place. Projector fell at the first fence, Awanui in front of the stand, and the others either ran off or riders off. Gold Tips was a scream I You would never think that she had even seen a fence before. Projector will be the death of some horseman if kept at the game. Punters went for the three-year-old Viyella, by Absurd—Snooze, and Loyal Maid, in the Electric Hack Handicap, but neither got in the money. Flying Nell attempted to win from end to end, and only succumbed to Helen Rufus in the last couple of strides. Viyella got away well, and had every chance. The high-priced Zany (Absurd. —Letn) also had every show, but simply wasn’t good enough. Pillage pursued an erratic course, or might have finished closer up. Wake up was a quiet tip amongst Wanganui and Taranaki sports, but was not sighted on the journey. Civilform, Rapine and Wrangle carried the bulk of the money in the Railway Handicap, and the former won with a lot in hand. As usual, Inah went to the front early, and at. one stage held such a commanding lead that her backers were feeling elated, but in the run up the straight she weakened badly, and had to put up with third place at the finish. Rapine was not ridden out, and should be all the better for the gallop. Another favorite, Comical, took the last race, the Tutaenui Welter, rather easily. He began smartly, and was always in the leading division, running in a good neck in front of Santiago, who did not get the best of runs. Nor did the third horse, Bonibrook; but it is hardly likely that either could have beaten Comical if he had bßen asked to do his best. One Wellington paper gave Mark Time as s starter in the Electric Hack Handicap. This is Incorrect. Mr. Gaisford did not accept with the horse for the race, though Mark Time figured amongst, the lists in the papers, though not on the correct card. Heavy rain fell at Wapganul on Monday and Tuesday, and the prospects for Thursday’s races are not the brightest. The Wanganui tracks are «nly a trifle holding at present, however, and if it clears up to-day the going will be quite all right.
