♦ EASTER MEETING. The New Zealand Metropolitan Trotting Club's Easter Meeting will be concluded at Addington to-day. With the exception of the Champion Stakes the fields are large, and include many of the best pacers and trotters in commission at the present time. The Champion Stakes, one of the principal three-year-old classic races of the year, has drawn a field of four, .and the meeting bet-ween Childe Pointer, Copa de 0;o Jnnr., and the Southland representative Downcast, should result in a.keen and interesting struggle.

The first race will start at 11.50 a.m. The following is the programme : 11.50 a.m.—HARVEST HANDICAP (in harness), of 300 sovs. For unhoppled trotters only. 4m class, lm of.
