CANTERBURY SPRING MEETING. (Notes by Cicero.) The Canterbury Spring Meeting will conclude to-morrow, when the richly endowed w.f.a. race, the Stead Gold Cup, U miles, will he decided. Of the twelve acceptors for- the Pert Cooper Hurdles, Corrie ano Ngatiruinni may carry the hulk of investments. Desert Gold, who is well f> rward, should start favorite for the Pioneer Handicap. Sauci and Reval are nicely handicapped for the Cressy Welter. A number of great handicap horses are engaged in the Members’ Handicap, 7 furlongs, a race worth C 750. Antumnus (9.8) has the weight of a champion' to carry, but the writer cannot find one lower in the handicap, who is likely to heat Goldleaf’s son, but First Glance may show most opposition. A field of ton good ones are engaged in the Stead Cup. Reputation is such a fine colt that ho will probably again start favourite, First Flight, despite his defeat in the Derby, must take some settling eighteen brilliant sprinters have made the final payment for the Electric Plato of £SOO, four furlongs. Battle Kvd is a really brilliant colt, and should have Hitlo difficulty in adding another win to Sir G. Clifford’s list. A large crowd arc engaged in the Seymour Handicap. Scotch Melody and WlaDinger should command respect. The meeting will conclude with the Fenialton Handicap, 1} miles, for which event Hyettus and Rinado should receive support. 11,11 ’MW
