RANGITIKEI CLUB'S MEETING.

(Notes by Cicero.)

When one considers then small prizes offered, the Rangitikei Club were fortunate in securing such good acceptances for their Autumn meeting,', which opens to-morrow.' Six onljr paid up for the Scott Memorial, and with the exception of Dearest and Ineuru (neither of-which has shown winning form for some time) a very moderate lot they are.' Ratana (7.9) is well treated considering the. eompany. Of 'the ■■fifteen left in the Maiden, His Eminence and Hoopoe are best known. Huia (10.13);ig nicely handicapped for the Qhakea Hurdles. Looking through the list of acceptors, .one feels he would rather get'an idea from the totalisator before attempting to' find the winner of the Carnarvon Hack, though Orleans and Victoria may be w©H supported. A really fair field of twelve have made the payment for the Cup, which ia only worth £l7O. Leonta (8.103 will not be, troubled by weight, and should suited by "the cowrse. Braeburn (7.13) is also well in. St. Bees will have the service! of Oliver in the Pukenui Welter, and tins alone :is no small consideration. Patroness,, 'if caught in'a.gallppiiig humor -would probably run well up. Austin and Guiding Way will earry the bulk of, investments in the, Parewanui W*l-< ter, whilst Arati^tia-and Miss. Kelly should divide favoritism in thei fNg»*l tiapa Hack. -jr.- ; '■■■ .'h ; H
