Some Thumbnail Reviews of The Minor Events

(By "The Toff")

The Wellington Trotting 1 Club will begin its series of fixtures for the season on Saturday. According to latest reports the course at Fetone is m good condition and great interest is being taken m the contests.

HPHE first event is for novices that 1 appreciate a mile and. a-quarter journey. Dv Maurler has a reputation and may go well, but if Linkman leaves the mark nothing will beat him. Rollo will be next. On New Brighton form Linkman and Rollo should finish first and second. It is only a question, of Louisiana trotting correotly to win the Petone Handicap.. Sarsaparilla likes a grass course; so does Mangoutu. i In spite of his. defeat at New Brighton, Mercury may effect a surprise m the Borqugh Handicap. Nan Brent is good, no is Travis Ax'iitiiimiiimiiuiiiiiiiiiimiiuiiiiimiiiiiiiiiitiiiiniiiiimiiiiimiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiii

worthy. Should any of them remain

at home, Real Light is next best. j At New Brighton, Maxegin was very sore. Should he recover sufficiently for his Petone engagement he will keep the opposition busy. The hardest he has to beat are Sarsaparilla and Mangoutu. The mile saddle will suit Albert Logan, Marshal Neil and Vesuvius. If the laat-named likes the weight on top he will win, and Loch Moigh will be second. . . ■ For the Wellington Handicap, Nan! Brent, Mercury and C. S. Donald's eleot must' take a ; power of beating.
