TO-DAY'S' PROGRAMME.

The Meeting will be concluded to-day, when the two principal events will be the Great Autumn Handicap and the Challenge Stakes. The field for the Great Autumn Handicap is a strong one, and tfhbugh Foo" Chow, Kilrush, Insurrection, and Eoyal Stag have been pronounced favourites for some time, track form was so badly at fault yesterday that the betting will probably take a \vide range. In the Challenge Stakes Gloaming, who has already won eleven I races this season, mostly with consummate ease, is set his hardest task for this racing year, for it is a very good (horse indeed that can give Sasanof 1010 and a beating over seven furlongs, when the Martian gelding is well, and in the Great Easter Handicap yesterday afternoon he showed himself to be a great) horse, for after getting away very badly, and having to go round his field, he was right in the front rank passing the" distance post, which was a great performance,' all things in. running considered, especially for a horse that has not had a race this season. Yesterday's outing was just what. SasanoS wanted, and as he pulled up sound, be will certainly give Gloaming the greatest battle for first pjace the Welkin f aiding has had for many a long day. b usual, a special tram service .will be running to the course from the Square, and there will be special trains at frequent intervals. The first race is timed to start at 11.30 a.m., and theu day's card is as follows: — I 11.80 •jn.—PEERSWICK • HURDLES, ot i 800 sovs. 12m. st lb at lb Manawaponga 13 1 War Tax ..9 0 Jack Symona .. 11 8 Comment ..9 0 Vice-Regal .. 10 6 Paxiform .. 9 0 Dick .. 10 1 Trickery ..9 0 Staff Officer .. 9 0 Tidal.Wave ..'9O 12.10 pjn.-AUTUMN NURSERY HANDICAP, of 400 eove. 6f.
