MOTES. (By "Zetland.") The course was in ..splendid order and fast times were registered during the day. The top-weight, Master Dougias, list 131b, showed his consistency by winning the Hurdles,with liipporoffla second. The Douglas gelding is very well just now, and during the remainder of the season should hold his own in good company. Sunbonnet, Bst Sib, was supposed to have a really good chance of winning the Derember Handicap, but could do no better tnan run third to Stylish and Wharekura. The winner, with 6st 121b, was leniently treated, and skipped over the six furlongs in lmiti 15! sec.

| At nearly every meeting a rank j outsider wins in at least one race, and in the Telegraph Hack, The Saint filled the biil in this respect, and his followers were rewarded with a very substantial dividend. Eight lined out for the Ksahine Welter, and the winner tarried up in The Possible gelding, The Cockatoo, who had this season rac°.d un.successfully at Hastings, Napier Park," T?r?tahi Wwdwilj^ Osiris filled BeCor?d (jiae'ej bus should not be long now before iiifi gstS on the Winning' list, i A good quality fie!d contested th'S principal event, the Summer Handicap. In a really good race Moral failed to give Moloch 241b in weight, arid the latter scored in fine style. He ran the mile and a distance in lmin 53 l-ssec, and may, therefore, be considered to have struck form. White Lie, who has done rather much racing during the past six months, was third. ; The Soult mare, Maiora, with Vi ■obeond, were the stake earners in the [/Pitipm Hack, and Auldean followed j 'up'his first day's success by winning the Oringi Welter from Sandstream. Merrie Zealand started in the latter event, but disappointed those who backed him l . He is improving every week, and should soon strike form. Good acceptances are expected tonight for the Lower Valley Jockey Club's meeting. Moloch was not very solidly supported by Master ton sports for the Summer Handicap at Dannevirke yesterday, but nevertheless much satisfaction was expressed at the fact of the Mauser gelding showing a return to winning formNorth East, who rani second in the Hack Welter at Dannevirke on Wednesday, is a Euroclydon gelding, owned by Mr H. McManaway. He is spoken of as likely to be very useful.
