TARANAKI TOPICS

. (From "N.Z. Truth's" New Plymouth Rep.) ; TN view of the forthcoming spring i ■*■ engagements, the Hawera arid New i, Plymouth tracks now present a lively appearance. There is also considerable work done at Straijford. [It looks as 7 if, the New Plymouth Hunt meeting should have good fields. * ... ■*: ■ * ' • There are plenty of followers at both v the Egmp'nt-Wanganui and the North Taranaki Hunts this year and some seasoned jumpers among them. . . .*.. * *■'■■.■' Quarrelsome Kitty is doing strong l work on the track and is flying her fences' when following the hounds. Waitanehau looks very fit and * shows a lot of pace between the J fences. He is inclined to be very J carefulover the fences. He wants 1 pushing more, as he has jumping ' ability. ** ' * Blago has come on a lot since com- ■ ing ,to New Plymouth. E. George will - be unlucky if he does not pick up a t race or two. at the Hunt meeting with the son of Depredation. ■ # ■._,#■•#•■ ■ The Antagonist — Generosity gelding is coming forward a lot quicker than one would have anticipated. He should be more than useful later.
