BRIGHT MINOR EVENTS

Seaside Trots Should Provide • Close Finishes (By "The Toff.") *'; THE New Brighton Trotting- Club will try out its re-arrangement of dates at its seaside course on Saturday. Satisfactory nominations have been received for the eight, events, but with acceptances still to be declared, none can gauge the size of the fields.

IN their, selection of winners, specula- | tors will have to exercise caution as to which horses are ready and which will be m need of a race. Among those engaged m the Improvers' Handicap are a few that are going backwards. ■ . Merrijigs is fast enough, to win, but his gait makes him appear uncertain to go the route without making several mistakes. Blue and Gold is a well-bred maiden, but Carclo should beat her, and Eva Reta should be the best of the others. Then Accumulator's work has been good. It would ., seem that .Accumulator, Garclo and Eva Reta will share the money.; „ The speedy novice, Dilnon, should be the "pea" for the Belfast Handicap. M. B. Edwards has some promising representatives, and maybe, his elect will chase Dilnon. Farther down, Sonoma Child appears to offer most danger, so the judge should have to decide from Dilnon, Edwards' elect and Sorioma'Child: ',' * Backers will be on the look-out for Mercury. He certainly is overdue, and a win for him m the Seaview Handicap' will be well received. . ' Bay' Nut was. responsible for three fine races ; at the August meeting, W*here he finished close to the winner oh each occasion. Off 12yds. he must '• .'':.■''"."■'"..'. ' .1 . '

be given a big chance, and unless Dick Logan worries them, Mercury and Bay Nut should dispute the money. \ " If one could depend upon Nelson Ata to go kindly there would be no need to go past him for the Autumn .Handicap.-". -' ;.'."■.,-■ Sarsaparilla goes well-yon a grass track, so does\Mangoutu," and there Is Elusive. Perhaps Nelson Ata, Edwards' representative and Mangoutu will go well. . ' '. ... ■ ■'■* Great .Triumph will be at home m the Dash Handicap,' to be run over one mile. He is a speedy pacer, and now that he has been gelded he will be rriore dependable at the barrier. Neerson and Direct Tod will offer most resistance. T ' . Regarding the Wainoni Handicap, everybody will want to be on Tamerlane to beat the pacers., but the trotter may hot be the certainty many think he is. ; Granite City. isTa likely customer to upset the apple-cart, and Mate o' Mine and Vesuvius also will have to be considered along with Trimmer. . When., it. comes to real business backers may find Trimmer, Vesuvius and Mate o'Mine getting busy over the last furlong.
