manA'WAtO Meeting. ii (Notes by Cicero.) The Manawatu Racing Club received record acceptances for their Autumn meeting, the profits of winch will go to the Wounded Soldiers’ Fund. All that is required to make the gathering a success, is good weather. The Karcre Hurdles appears very open, but possibly Glenorchy and , tyladf.nl will have a say in the decision. The Maiden may find Tinkler favorite. No less than twenty-three figure in the Autumn Handicap. Adjutant, who will carry a 101 b penalty, must take some beating, but M'oulu and Montana should bo his most dangerous opponents. The Sires’ Produce Stakes should end in a good contest between Sasanoff, Egypt and Good Hope. Another large crowd of horses figure in the Linton Welter, and Analogue and Maraetotara are nicely handicapped. The Gold Cup appears to be at the mercy of Desert Gold, but there are many, no doubt, who will be brave enough to back Eligible, against All Black’s great daughter. A record field of twenty-eight accepted for the Woodhoy Hack. In such a crowd, much depends on the draw for position,. and the start effected. With ordinary luck, Heel-tap and Gang 1 Awa’ should be in the lighting line. ! The first day’s programme will close with the Telegraph Handicap for which event Multiplication and Hydrus should command a following.
