Hunting Blood won Just as easily to-day as he did on Saturday, hitting the rront early from an outside barrier position to be in charge within half-a-rurlong and making a procession or it from then on. Though he won hy eight lengths, he appeared to be under a nice hold In the straight and his winning margin could have been greater had he so desired. British Nation was finishing on to beat Young Paddon for second, the latter having his first outing ror a spell. He is a likely improver. Friskland was slow to move and Chastisement, who showed a disinclination to come Into the barrier and who was placed on the outside or the field, stopped at the barrier, taking no part In the race. By the time they had settled down, Hunting Blood had flashed through to the rront and he showed out at the hair-mile from Spearrord, Orwere, Pirate King, Highland Queen. Paul Robeson, Wlndcress. Young Paddon and Prlval. Hunting Blood was clear racing past the three furlong peg and he cape into the straight eight lengths In rront of Orwere, Wlndcress. Pirate King. Spearrord. Young Paddon. The Trimmer and Paul Robeson. Nothing had a chance with the Te Rapa horse in the straight and he won very comfortably by eight lengths rrom British Nation, who got up to heat Young Paddon by Tmir-a-length. Paul Robeson was rourth. then followed Prlval. Dragon Moth, The Trimmer. Miss Clipper nad Windsor Lass. Time, 1.16 2-5. HANGATIKI HACK HANDICAP Of £200; 7 l'urs. 1— I—DU MAURIER. Dr. T. C.

Du Maurler as was the case with the previous winner won as comfortbalv as on opening day. He was fairly well backed and at the turn was lying about tenth, but came through at the distance and won going away. Melvanu! appeared the unlucky horse or the race as after drawing the rails he failed to Jump out and was last early. He was flying at the finish to beat all but the winner. Sen Acre’s per* formance was her Y>est to date. Mai de Mer was the first to become prominent, leading along the back from Fleur D’Or. Maxown, Chler Lap, Abbey Lass, Mfo Fratolio. Forest Acre and Sen Acre with Melvanul banging up the rear. Across the top, Mai de Mer was still making play from Fleur D'Or with Maxown still handy in front of Silver Glow, Forest Acre, ChW Lap.

Winner trained by F. Christmas, Rlccarton. Giving a polished exhibition of Jumping throughout. Jolly Beggar stayed on too well for the opposition In the big hurdle event. Ills performance under the steadier of 1 2st was a distinctly Impressive one and one that draws attention to his Jumning prospects at the ftltr June* meeting at Ellerslle. Kllberls went a fine race and appeared to be definitely on the upgrade, while Donegal’s performance suggests that he may do better too. Valpal led over the first rence rrom King’s Archer. Kllladar.
