MASTERTON RACING CLUB.

SPRING MEETING. The weather conditions were most favourable and the course was in first-class order. With a very satisfactory attendance, the general arrangements well up to date, and excellent racing throughout, the meeting was a decided, success. There woro twelve bookmakers licensed, and they found business fairly brisk. The amount put through the totalisator was £3015. Mr T. Cameron did good work in the start' ing arrangements, and Mr W. H. Hartgill, the judge, was as usual correct in his decisions. The quality of the horses competing, and the large number started in most of the events formed a subject for general complimentary comment.

NOTES ON THE RACING. The Attwood stable started Te Ru and Howler in the Hurdles, but when it came to racing neither had any chance of beating Sloaeombo, who scored comfortably. Roses grove and British Rifle did not show up prominently, but the latter will be served by time. Tina Toa was a strong favourite for the Flying Hack, but met a better one at the weights in Rill, the lull sister to Splash. Among the other starters were Sylvia Maid, Lord Possible, Leahora, and Sir SoTb, who will probably be all the better for the gallop. Sir Antrim was well backed at level money for the Cup, nothing else being spiritedly supported. Iranui, one of the outsiders, well handled by R. Hatch, won in fine style from Rauparaha. • In a field of twelve for the Maiden Hack, The Rover, by Advance, was a strong order. Mr C. B. Pharazyn's Longwood, by Merriwee— Spoil, was in front from the rise of the barrier, and won comfortably from the Conqueror gelding, Portcullis.

Despite his burden of 12st 81b, Strathmoira was the popular selection for the Ladies' Bracelet. After indulging Tyrannic and Canadian in the lead for nearly a mile, he was taken to the front. In the straight he was challenged by Himitangi, but Mr D. Buick rode a confident race, and scored nicely by over half a length. Boyne Water got badly away, while Monsieur Beaueaire, Aotea, and Comethup did not run so well as expected. The Dash Handicap resulted in a very easy victory for Longstep. Kiltie Lass ran over a lot of ground in the straight, and finished a. fair third. Lady Doris was catching the leader towards the finish, and showed a return to form.

Penza was strongly backed for the Publicans' Handicap, but was not favoured by the start, and Full Rate getting away exceptionally well won nandily from the favourite, who made np sufficient ground In the straight" to lead her backers to think she would have made a close finish if she had left the barrier with the winner. Clemora, looking really well finished fourth, and may be improved by the gallop. Eight faced the starter for the October Hack Handicap. First Consul, the top weight, led off, but Vite quickly took up the running, and showed' undoubted pace np to the home turn. Awha then got to the front, and was galloping so strongly that his chance of victory appeared bright. Inside the distance First Consul on the outside could be seen making up his leeway, and Hatch riding one of his best finishes got up in time to win by half a length.

A BUSHMAN'S TIME: ( It is an idea prevailing in cities thai no one lias mors time to think th.ir people who live in the bush.

How wonderful it is that, with each breath we draw and each movement we make,. atoms of our living tissue are consumed ind turned into wan-e matter. Continn julsy, night and c.-;y, the !ood we eat. the "water we une.k and (he air we oreathe is being conv-.'!?d into out iesh, blood and bone.
