AVONDALE MEETING

SATURDAY'S CARD A SOFT COU^Slj; (By Telegraph.) (Special to "The Evoning Post.") . :,. . AUCKLAND, ISth September.

The weather here has been very threatening for several days, and tho outlook f for the Avondale Jockey Club's Spring Meeting is not altogether promising at present. The course is 6,oft, and wlu'le it will not be extremely heavy unless further rain falls,- it may be sufficiently holding ;to prejudice the chances of many of. the candidates. . Most of the visiting horses were on the tracks this morning, when the ar- - rivals included the Cup favourite,: Seatown, . Mendip, and Awaken. Mr. T. H. Lowry's horses Chrysology, Commandant, Courtesy, and Great Charter, who were reported to be coming from Napier by motor float, had not arrived at 6 o'clock this evening, but it -was expected that they would arrive later. . ...:.• The first problem backers will hare to solve is the MAIDEN PLATE; seven furlongs. st lb '■'■'.■ st lb liominican ~.

In his absence .those, likely to be most favoured are, .Rosshire,; Stonehenge, and Jaeldy Karo. Eosshire • has been, working well at Takanini, and will be suited by the soft track. ■ KINGSLAND HANDICAP HTJRDLE BACE, of 220 sots; one mllo and a half. at lb st lb Glenstßr .... 11 4 Sir Archie ..9 0 Make Up ....10 12 Thursby .... 9 0 Red Comet ... 10 5 Claremore ' .. 9 0 Pandermis .. 913 Respirator ..9 0 Daylight ... 9 12 King Swift ». 9 0 Qulncoma .. 9 8 Koyal Day ... 9 0 Calaris ..... 9 S Air King .... 9 0 Sea Cob ...... 9 5 Royal Visitor 9 0 Wattzer ..... 9 2 Wan Lv 9 0 Horses like Make Up, Daylight, and Carlaris will be expected to race prominently in this event, while new aspirants for jumping honours in Sea Cob and Air King, who have been schooling well at Te MEETINGS TO COME. ■ ' Sept. 20.—Ashburton County B.C.

In her absence the likeliest to run prominently may' be Te Hoia, Tblimond. and. Biddy's Boy. .

It is not usually a good race for the topweights, few of ■whom have succeeded in winning. However, Historic, Star Stranger, and Prodice are all good, and they must be seriously considered. The state of the track will be against Star Stranger, and as Prodice has not had a race since January, ■ Historic looks < the best of the three. However, Prodice is more forward than 'generally i believed, and even if she does not win she should at least make a good showing. Seatown is the pick of the handicap, and he looks so well that he seems certain to give his army of admirers a great run., There are many others with chances, but the best of the others may be Paddon, Mendip, High Pitch, Maori Boy, and Standfast. . The favourites may be Seatown, Maori Boy, and Historic.

His chief danger might come from Bonny Lea and.Princess Bede. . ,;.,./ ; ... , :.'..- J'LYING STAKES HANDICAP, of 500 soys; six furlongs. st lb st Jb Lady Quex . i) 8 Lucy Boss ..7 7 Pasanelli ... 9 6 Awaken .... 1 3 fJrcat Charter 812 Lady's Boy .. t 2 Nancy Lee .. 8 10 White Wings . t O Supremacy .. 810 Awamutu .. 7 0 - Awnrere ... 8 5 Elylng Prince 7 0 To Atiawa ..7 9 Iraamint ;..., 7 O •Tloyal Ruler . 7 9 Valstreetv .it 1 0 . rrince-Val ..7 8 ...■.:; V On account of the softness of the track there.is a strong disposition to favour Lucy Rose, and Nancy Lee in the1 Flying Stakes -Handicap, and;others finding some favour are Eoyal'Ruler and Awaken.
