The meeting was continued yesterday in weather equally favorable to the first day, the heat perhaps being more intense, but a gentle breeze toned down tho.sun's, rays, and fanned the brows of the -excited speculators.' The attendance was about tho same as on the previous day, there being more ve-. 'nicies' on the course. The arrangements for reaching the course from the railway were carried out without a hitch, and proved equal to thedemand, The Railway Department also provided better accommodation, making ample reparation for the shortcomings of the first day, The police again had very easy times of it, everything passing off quietly. The privilege holders in the alcoholic line, Messrs T, Thompson, J. Hoddor, and A. Miller, dispensed liquors of excellent quality, and Messrs Barratliand Whyte left nothing wanting for the supply of the." inner man" in their outside refreshment booths. Mr Whyte supplied the Grand Stand luncheon, which was a great improvement on the catering of the previous holders. Ho also provided the Stewards luncheon in a style that elicited the highest praise'from the officials. The tqtalisator was patronised to the tune of L 1561, being L 278 in efccM'of the first day, and making a total for the two days of L 2900, the largest amount on one race during the meeting being L411 : on the Cup, and even this amount' could have been considerably increased had arrangements been made toy avoid a block; around'th'e taaohiie/ The racing again was of a;firslrplass.order, the genuineness and'popularity oHhe wins in the two.big events being shown by the ringing .cheers given for the winners. The starting, with one or two excep-

tions,:was well-managed, and the fields sent away well together.
