THE TURF

NATIONAL PROSPECTS ["BY GLENCOE.t ■ The Grand National' Meeting will com* tnenco at Riccarton to-day. The Canter.bury Jockey Club does not have to rely on tho Iraiu service, .and it. is expected that the attendance will.be well up to the standard of • previous .years. The. three principal events are all decided on the opening day, and although the absence of class is noticeable this year, still what is laoking in Quality will bo made MP in quantity. In the Winter Cup there is a record field of twenty-nine horses. Parisian Diamond is much . favoured, but the fact that he is" a slow beginner and will have to thread his way through a bis: field will not as- ' Gist him to victory. Miss dc Val has plenty of weight, but she is a good maro and is now- apparently aa well as ever she was. Lady Penury has been given a great change, and bo has Tip Up. Any horse to win will reauire on uninterrupted cd passage tho whole way, luck in running will play an important part in s the result. In the National Hurdles Art is at the head of the handicap, but his Wellingtou form does not suggest him as likely to be in the market to-day. Rewi Boto is Euch a good horse, on the flat that he will have a bier advantage iu the long runs between fences. Still, he has not done much hurdle racing, and- the .ijimping upder such a big weight will* nro- . bably find him out at the finish. Leonta's form of late has been good, and he must be 'counted amongst the probables, as he is a good, clean jumper and is always finishing on at the right end of his races. . Bon Rove seems to have freshened up again, and has worked well since his arrival at Riccarton. Sleight of Hand has also worked very well on the tracks, but he is such a hard puller that he might beat himself before the end of the two miles and a.half. Marconi and St. Elmn are well in the market, and 'either of tho pair should be upsides with the leaders at the last fence. The former ran a really good race at - Trentham, and was finishing very fastUn the Final Hurdles. Crib has. a big weight in the Steeplechase, and over such a trying course it may l?e expected to find a weak spot in him. • Braeburn has been falling of late and gives the impression that his knee is troubling him. Gluepot has been on the boa,t for a week, and this will not assist him to get three miles and a half with list. 51b. on his back. Master Strowan is an improving animal. He ia an average iiumper with a lot of pace on tho flat, and barring accidents he should snow up well. /Merry Lad is the eyo of the handicap and • may dispute favouritism with Orib. He is a irood jumper, rind aided by hiß light weight, he may make matters merry for the others. His Wellington Steeplechase form suggests that he will be wherever Crib is. Of the light-weights, Nita has a jumper's'chance. ' In the Hunt Club Cup the public may co for Kaupokon'ui, whose form at Trentham was very consistent. Burgess, who is a good average hunter, may be sccond choice. ' San Sebastian has his dual win at Trentham to suggest him as a likely one in the Trial Hurdles, and others who know the way to jump auickly and well are Compulsion and Golden Glade. Thames, Rewanga, and Rajput arc a trio that can gallop fast in the Avonhead Handicap, and in the Sumner Handicap, one mile, the best 6upnorted may be Kilkee. Hythread, Black Hill and Killard. The Porirua candidate Tauira gave such

a splendid exhibition of .lumping at Trentham when he won that he is sure of plenty of support in the Enfleld Steeplechase, in which ho is only opposed by a very weak field. RICCAUTON TRAINING NOTES. By Telegraph-Press Association. Chrlstchurch, August 15. The Riccarton tracks were heavy this morning after the rain. Master Strowan and Ranza went once round the fences, .jumping well. Johnny Walker galloped seven furlonfcs in lmin. 32 3-ssec. George, Kiltess. Prince Delaware, and Sir Agnes werr among those sprinted. Tauira, Leonta, and Sir Solo did strong work over a mile. Most of the other horses were restricted to light tasks. TROTTING NEW ZEALAND METROPOLITAN CLUB S AUGUST MEETING. By Telegraph—Press Association. ■ Chrlstchurch, August 15.
