SPORTING.

TINUI JOCKEY. O LUB.; (From our special reporter,) ' '(byTELEGRAM) '■''.';"". The extra accommodation afforded at Mrs Owen's Hotel was not equal to tho demand last night, but the popular hostess made every effort to secure the comfort of th« visitors, and those, who havo assisted at former meetings of course expected a lively night, but thoy were agreeably disappointed,'for, beyond a few scrambles, nothing occurred to annoy those who chose to keep clear of the 'belligerents. The attendance is not so largo as yes-, terday, and, although a good day N for' racing, the wind is a trifle keen with signs of more ram from tho south, Business commenced at the courso by four of the six acceptors; weighing out for; tho Flying Stakes, Scraps and Dan O'Connell deciding the contost. They were all right well in it, but Mr Tancred's pony again rewarded her backers with, a dividend after a severe race. TeWhiti, of Novel Race notoriety easily defeated four others, and upon Mr'F. H.Wood submitting him to public competition, the erstwhile District Produce favorite fell to Mr R. Buck'eridge for £l6. After Lady Maud's running m the Maiden, the District Handicap was voted a' certainty for her, and so it proved, although young Laing was at her with the whip coming into tho straight, The Ladies' Purse was run at a good pace under big weights, and resulted in a nice finish. Ngatitoa made a bold bid in the last hundred yards, but could not head Dan O'Connell, who always seems to run best with a man in the saddle. The Working Men's Hack Race as usual caused a protest. Acme had little" difficulty in disposing of four others, but the Stewards reversed the Judge's decision after hearing evidence in suppost of the objection lodged against Acme's qualification. ~ . Of the six nominated for tho Consolation Handicap fivo saddled up, but through Little Fraud bolting and getting rid of his jockey there were only four starters, Kakapo, the top weight, had most friends, but Satanella completely reversed the running in the Flying Handicap, for although meeting Kakapo on worse terms, she won by. a good length, Kakapo and Carry-the-News within a head of each other,

There was another hank race to bo run, but our reporter loft before it was decided. It would be very misleading to state tho time taken tor each event, as the course must bo a long way short of the reputed distance. For instance, the Cup was run in 3min 39sec (?), and the Flying Stakes record lmin 20|secs., truly a flying pace for such cattle. Particulars of the different results are appended.

Carr 3 Satanclla, 6st 41b Hockley i Glaicks was always a quick beginner, and he to racing in front before they had gone ten yards, Kakapo chasing him and Firstwater being hunted to keep near them. Mr Ray's horse settled Glaicks before they ended the turn for home, and looked like winning, but the pony's condition was so food that Bne kept going, and catching Kakapo in the straight, fairly beat him home, Glaicks an indifferent third,, Satanella, who seemed completely outpaced, fourth.

Lyford 3 Freebooter, 12sfc, also ran, Dan O'Connell and- Freebooter raced away together, the grey horse third, and Freebooter last, the pace being exceptionally good under such loads. Fraud and Dan ran neck and neck to the turn into the straight, where Lyford seemed to have the race in hand; but the moment he squeezed hi? charge, he cut it unmistakedly. Then Ngatiloa showed up, and a very interesting race resulted in favor of Mr Ray's gelding by' half a length, Dividend £2 Is.
