The jumping event has a fresh runner in Portland iiady. who Ms making her Bret appearauce in a steeplechase. Tho chestnut mfti'e jumped a couple of brush fences Tory nicely on Thursday, und unices hampered by tho fast pace Oi'tuesby will set, she should give a good account of her; self. Fashion Plate may be feeling the efleotu of the fa.ll she had, on the opening day, and Black Heast a lot to learn about tho jumping basine96. Ormesby has been oft the scene for a considerable time, n.nd Saturday's good eflort may have got to the bottom of Mm, but on the other hand, it may, have done him good. It will depend upon how ho caddies up today whether he will bo tho.publlb ctuoico In the Tararua Ilandleap. ono mile. Midnight Star should act well, ns will Johnny Walker, both horses being well suited by the distance. Arrowfleld did not get a good passage on Saturday, and may do bettor to-day, though ho can hardly hope to reverse positions with Johnny Walker. Impediment- has now got a good weight, and the distance may trouble her. Of the remainder Nottata can get eight furlonga W Tbere is a good field in the Spring Trial Stakes. Several of them raced on Saturday, and did well enough to justify 'support to-day. Bonnie Maid, Galore, and Psddington Green may be fancied in that An acceptance of twenty-five greeted the handicapper's efforts in the Pearce Handicap, one mile. This is a big field, and the winner will renuire a lot of luck in running. Form points w> ParaOa,. Devotion, and Botanist as likely to be in tne front rank when the final struggle is takmfnf P oraal, winner of tho Wellesley Stakes, is engaged in the Juvenile Handicap, and is r-% badly treated with Bst. 131b. He led the . holo way on Saturday, and though he would not be able to begin so Smartly .to-diy he Bhould be well up at the finish. The presence of Pontoon and 80-ieep should make the race interesting, while Zia Tigritiya, and Cherry Mart.wave .pull enough in the weights, to get them up to the others at the finish. . the post is reached. Tj-.kvim, Comment is top-weight in the Huahme ■Handicap, but she may be reserved for thij concluding event. Sardinia ran a proa raco on Saturday; and in what appears to be a weaker field to-day, he should show up. Bobur wiU be better suited by tho distance to-day, and Quinn's Post is imnroving with tho raoing he is getting. - There will be heavy speculation m the concluding event, in which a very speedy lot are engaged that- are well able to get ■L fast five furlongs. The pace will bo on the whole way, and over the concluding, stages Merrie Poto or Eajput may get their heads in front.
