MASTERTON RACES

Today’s Card For Opaki (By St. Simon.) The Masterton Racing Club will hold its spring meeting at Opaki today, when a full card of eight races will be presented. Being the last meeting in the North Island before the Wellington spring fixture, today’s racing will be followed with the keenest interest as the bulk of the competitors claim engagements at Trentbam. The Opaki course has a long straight, and it provides an excellent testing ground for Wellington candidates. Withdrawals up till last evening were: Marble Fox, Foxette, Anglo-Irish and Sirnerl. The weather was fine in Masterton yesterday, and the truck is in excellent condition. , Riding engagements announced arc.— W. Broughton, Great March, Beau Cheval, Man’s Pi-Ide, Voltaire; B. 11.
