POVERTY BAY TURF CLUB’S

MEETING.

NOTES AND ANTICIPATIONS.

(By “ Early Bird.”) Gisborne's raoiog carnival will ba eon* tinued to-day, when the Poverty Bay Turf Olub open their summer meeting at Makaraka. EHo e;vo alterations bave been made to the buildings, every effort beiDg made to promote the comfort of visitors. Trains 'Gave Gisborne at 9 a.m., noon, and 1.10, returning after the la»t raoe. Following are the aooeptanoes : Welter Handicap. Bonomiana 10 2 Cromwell ... 8 0 Kaipetipett 918 Hinetahi ... 8 0 Jaok Pot ... 9 10 Reah ... 8 0 I Mataika ... 9 9 Te Aral ... 8 0 To Hauke ... 9 6 Alluvial ... 8 0 Nukumarat'a 8 7 PriaoiDa ... 8 0 Mont'go ... 8 3

The top-weight has a fairly severe impost, and will probably be a non starter in this event. Kaipotipeti reads well at 9.13, as also does Jaok Pot, Mataika, and Te Hauke. Neither of the latter pair was seen at its best at the Park. My fancy is— Mataika or Jack Pot 1 Te Hauke 2 First Hurdle Handioap, 1$ miles. lospan ... 11 8 Roseplot ... 10 7 Medallius ... 10 13 Morpeth ... 9 7 No Shot ... 10 11 Te Uku ... 9 0 The bandioapper has made a very fair adjustment, Inspan and Medallius being I fully equal to the weight allotted them. Medallius is eaid to bo fairly sound, and I under euch circumstances must run a great raoe. The numbers may go up as follows luspan ... ••• 1 Medallius ... "... 2 No Shot ... 3

The first named has, during the last few days, shown symptoms of unsoundness. and may not jbe a atarter. After the hollow mannor in which Oinque won oh the second day at the' Park, the daughter of Saracen must be given a really good chance, and with Pmk 'Un will oarty most of the money. Gatenby may upset the calculations. Oinque or Pink 'Un 1 Gatenby jj Mouru

Mahutonga’s form at the Park does not justify my selecting him. Heroism has been well baudioappeu, whilst Ladylike, Bonomiana, and Mouru have nothing to oomplain of.

This event will depend greatly on the previous running, but the winner may be found in Full Cry, with Contender or the Pink ’Un well up.
