TIMARU IS THE NEXT

Happenings Over Cup Week May Assist Backers MINOR EVENTS LOOKED OVER (From "N.Z. Truth's" Special Christchurch Representative.) The spell, following 1 their exertions at the Cup carnival, will terminate for southern horses on- Friday;- when the South Canterbury meeting- will open at Timaru.

THE distance of' the Otaio Hurdles should suit Ned Kelly better than at Riccarton, where he compounded only over the last furlong, while Carinthia should continue m winning vein. Tunamoe looks the best of the lightweights. Rage Boy will see a short price m the Spring Stakes. "Waving Corn should also ( be supported on the form she displayed earlier m the season. . Selcaire, an Australian two-year-old m Fred Jones' stable, should be coming right shortly. . First Raid represents outstanding class m the Tycho Hack Handicap, but has been given a steadier of 9.5. This, however, should not stop him, as he decisively defeated Royal Saxon

; with a pound less at the Dunedin meeting. The company then was better than he will' meet to-morrow. Tea Girl looks the best of the others. Crown Area will probably be paid up for m the Flying, m preference to the President's mile, m which case Quarterdeck will be" favorite. . Riccarton form points to Amor. Rascal was showing an improvement m his running at Riccarton, but does not look equal to conceding weight to Amor. r There will be a big field of unknown quantity m the Maiden Plate. The Viscount, and Caterpillar have minor placings to recommend them. The prospects of Gaybird and Tardy read best iri the field for the Kerrytown Hack Handicap.
