THE AUTUMN MEETING.

Owing to an unforeseen accident we did not receive one portion of the '' copy" from our reporters at Ellerslie in time for publica tion in full yesterday, and we therefore publish to-day the sections of our report held over. In connection with the miscel laneous amusements on the ground it may be mentioned that after the races commenced confidence seemed to be somewhat restored amongst the gentlemen who usually look upon race meetings as affording opportunities for turning an honest penny by providing cheap amusements ioi the crowd. One man set up two shillings on a stick, which he offered to any one who could knock them clean off, a feat which did riot seem to be frequently accomplished. A galvanic battery, "pigeon, pool," and .prize ''spin" were got to work to the profit of their owners, and last, but not least, a gentleman, well known in connection with these race institu tions^ opened a "circular billiard table." Observing our reporter examining this curious contrivance he begged of him, as "a man of learning and of refined feeling," not to class the new production with the "under and over seven " business, as he had had the board made specially, and he hired it out just aa a billiard table is hired, and it was a pure game of chance. Under such persuasive eloquence our reporter could not do otherwise than look tipon the table with a favourable eye. He states that from close observation he-believes the game to be one of chance, and no swindle. We append the remarks of various events, the result of whioh was given yesterday :— WELTER HANDICAP. i Of the eight horses entered for this race two were scratched, namely Mira and Peer. Ben Nevis, was the favourite at starting, three to two being offered on him notwith standing the fact that he carried top weight. After one false start Mr Wynyard dispatched the horses to a splendid start. Ruby (who is better known as Slim Jim) jumping from the rear obtained a clear head on the inside for the first 100 yards, but waited upon by Para matta, who was also closely attendedby Numa, Marcella fourth, Ben Nevis next, and Echo last. In this order they passed the'grand stand. Marcella, passing her horses, then came the front. When half way round the course, the horses were running in a ruck, and it was impossible to distinguish which was leading. In the run home Marcella drew upon her rivals, closely pressed by Numa. Ben Nevis did not come up to expectations, and was now generally considered out of the race. The relative positions, as stated above, were maintained throughout the run in, all the horses being pretty well together. Pony Race.—ls soys. Distance, once round the course. 14 hands to carry lOst. 71bs allowed for each hand under 14 hands. Entrance, 1 soy. Post entry. Three ponies were entered, namely Mr Stichbury's Lainty, Mr O. Mill's Rakau, and Mr J. Leonard's Tit, the latter being allowed 71bs. On fall of the flag Tit was to the rear. Lainty and Rakau getting away together. A neck and neck race took place between the two for some distance, when Rakau fell out and Lainty took the lead. Tit shortly after began to draw on Rakau, and secured for a time second position. Rakau, how ever, put on a spurt and overhauled Tit. Lainty kept on the even tenor of his way, and was never beaten from the start. At half way an equal distance lay between the horses, Rakau being second and Tit last. Shortly after Tit began to draw and passed Rakau. On entering the straight Lainty led by half-a-dozen lengths; an equal distance lay between lit and Rakau. Lainty finished an easy victor, Tit coming in second, hard ridden, and Rakau a bad third. • AUTUMN HANDICAP. Four entered for this race, the principal event of the day. Ben Nevis was scratched at half-past two. In the saddling paddock Parawhenua attractedmuch attention fromhis clean form, and good racing qualities. Marcella looked alsolclean of limb, while Bundarra, from, appearance, did not seem to have the ghost of a chance. Betting at starting was 2tol on Parawhenua, which gradually increased to 3 to 1. The horses got away at the first attempt, Bundarra holding a slight lead with Parawhenua second. The horses kept their position for some time, when Gooseman, who was riding Parawhenua, called upon his horse i and he at once went to the front. Marcella gradually drew upon Bandaraa, and tried hard to gain the front. On passing the judge's chair the first time round, Parawhena was leading by a neck, hard held. (Betting 10 to 4 on Mr Watts' horse, freely offered). Immediately after he drew away from his horses, and obtained a clear lead, gradually increasing the same until about 7 or 8 lengths ahead. Marcella in the bend lost second place to Bundarra for a few seconds, but soon regained it. On coming into the straight Primner, Marcella's jockey, urged his mare, and she gamely endeavoured to overhaul Parawhenua j and although she succeeded in getting up to his saddle girths amidst great excitement from tne spectators, she failed ■wresting the first place from him. Para whenua coming in justtwblengths ahead, with Gooseman's hands .down. Bundarra pulled up coming home, and did not pass the judge's box. SELLING EACE. Nine horses entered, but the number was tduced to seven by the scratching of Para matta and Marcella. The competitors were run at the following weights:—Numal2st. lib., Fawn 12st. lib., Peer list. 51b., Ruby lOst. 81bs., Moose 7st. 131b5., Mira 7st. 31b. The latter, who was favorite at starting, sailed to the head of affairs directly the flag fell, and maintained leading position to the finish, winning in the commonest of canters. Ruby took second place, which he shortly after relinquished to Peer, who in his turn succumbed to Fawn, who took up the running at the distance. Numa was a good third. Peer fourth.

POLICE COURT.—This Day.

(Before P. A. Philips, Esq., Mayor, E,.M.) ASSAULT. : j ■ ■ John Murray was charged with "violently assaulting John Connolly, last evening, by striking him with a stick and kicking him. Prisoner pleaded guilty. Inspector Broham stated the case. Prisoner said he was very sorry for what he had done. John Connolly said he was in the office of fheEveniny Star, between five and six o'clock, when the prisoner attacked him with a stick and knocked him down, where he lay some time senseless. •.) .' Mr Broham suggested that the case should be sent for trial. His 'Worship commented upon the serious nature of the charge, which appears to have been committed while the prisoner was under the influence of liquor, and imposed a fine of £5 and cost 3or thirty days' imprisonment. ; . BREACH OF BY-LAW. ■' ' ''it George Davis was .fined. Is. and costs, this being his first offence against the City by-1 laws, for keeping one horse on an unenclosed piece of land, situate, in Chapel-Btreet, in opposition to By-law No. 11 of the City Council. '~;; CI3?Y-,EATE CASES. ' ," The following persons were summoned at the instance of Mr J. H. Jagger for non payment of city rates, and judgment for plaintiff returned asfollows: —David Sheehan, £6 15s ; Martin Sholl, £3 ; David Duni.ng ham and George W. King, £10. Mr Duningham stated that he could have no objection to pay what Avas just and proper. He was waiting for the return of Mr Sheehari, in order to arrange matters in reference to these payments, and would be glad if the i Court would postpone the payment of these rates for a few days. He regretted to say that he had not yet paid a satisfactory rate, and he considered it a subject worthy Council's attention. His Worship agreed with Mr Duningham, but suggested the propriety of paying the amount, which was accordingly paid. The case of William A. Clark, £3 10s, was. remanded until Friday, as defendant was away in the country. This was all the business.
