The totalizators were patronised to the

extent of £llls during the day, the largest dividend being paid on Charmer (£7 35,) and the sinalleston Normanby (18b), when the eleven sanguine investors were handed 1 their money back, less the commission. The official work was carried out without a' hitch, the credit of which is duo to the methodical manner hi which Mr R. R. Armstrong makes his arrangements.

In this Princess 9 Royal ran a good race, and although B the erstwhile hack, Rocket, carried a ,f steadier of lOst, he made one. of the 8 closest finishos of the meeting. The 8 Grand Stand Handicap was an easy 0 thing for Teddy Yuille, who came away in the straight and won comfortably, Princess Royal making a very good fight for the honor. The following are the events as run : Wairarapa District Prowice, of 20C boy's, Becohd; horse 25 sovs, t'liirc horse 10 sovs; breeder of the winnei ut 25 sovs from the advertised amount, '• For three-yearrdds bred in fih< ir district.

Peter went away with a good lead, and jumped tho first hurdle splendidly, about four lengths the better of Aroha. .Stewart then thought it best to keep close company, and the pair raced at the second obstacle, knocking it to pieces, Aroha never rising an inch. Mitchell now gave the brown horse the lead, evidently thinking to lick him in the race home, but Stewart piloted him carefully over the impediments, and reserved enough in him that when it came to the last rush he was able to sail away from Peter, and won by about jtwo lengths.
