AT TAURANGA

Prospects Bright At j Bay Meeting (From "N.Z. Truth's" Auckland Rep.) The acceptance . lists m connection with the Bay of Plenty fixture at Tauranga for Saturday next are enormous. V TN fact, they. seem almost too good to •*• be true, but .several horses have dual engagements, which means that there will be many withdrawals on the day. , .• iiiiiiiMiiiiniiiywiiiiuiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiniiiiiiiiMiiiiimiiiiimiiiiMiiiiiiiiiiniiiiimiim.

It is a popular fixture, but no place to punt at unless oh the track. If The Jack Jumper ls on the. spot, he should take the Trial, with Dainty Manners and Waitekohe to give most trouble m his absence. The Maunganui- should lie between Prince Val, Brilliant. Light and High Rose, while Queen Arch and Desert Glow are a pair -fitted to fight out the Cup. v Prince Val looks-one suited m the Herries Hack Cup, while Lucy Rose seems nicely placed m the Greerton, with Waltzer and Town Bird among the hopefuls. Brilliant Light, Joy Germ and The Jack Jumper seem a likely trio to fight out the President's Hack. ; Joy Germ and Town Bird should lead the Flying Handicap - lot, . and perhaps last out the distance at their easy poundage. The Jack Jumper is nicely placed ln the t3ounty Stakes If reserved for that event, with Waitekohe and Dainty Manners as two of the best-known of the others to be dangerous.

WITH a way of his own the three* year-old Toxeuma takes .holding baok to the fiold. He won a ra oe at Trentham with the ; thumper of -9.5. In the St. Leger he just ; failed m the last stride to win that classic . By the brilliant Arrowsmith, he is easily the best of that horse's stock and Ynext season may be a first-rate handicap ho rs c. That is if sopie Australian buyer does not take him away. But it will take big. money to buy To xc v ma— his owner likes a '■' good horse as well as the' next one.
