PROSPECTS FOR TO-MORROW Waikato and Wellington OF the racing and trotting meetings set down ior to-morrow. those of the Waikato and Wellington Racing Clubs will hold the attention of sportsmen in this province, while on Monday (Labour Day) there will be no less than nine meetings (six gallops and three trots) in progress.

Principal local interest will be focussed upon the spring meeting of the Waikato Racing Club, which opens at the splendid Te Rapa course tomorrow and will be concluded next Wednesday. An excellent train service has been arranged, specials lea\’ing Auckland at 6.50 a.m. (both days and 7.45 a.m. (to-morrow only). Excellent acceptances have been received, and there is the usual division in the Trial. Eleven remain in the Cup and a dozen in the sprint, while the other events have filled just as well. Class is by no means lacking, and patrons at Te Rapa should be provided Avitli thrills aplenty in the way of interesting racing. After yesterday’s rain the track is Certain to be a bit holding, although it A\ill furnish good going. The following will come in for popular support to-morrow: Waimai Handicap Hurdles.—Bourn and Stormy. Trial Stakes.—First Division: Bert Hinkler and Becalmed. Trial Stakes.—Second Division: Black Maire and Mon Star. Taniahere Stakes.—Flying Prince and Love Call. Waikato Cup Handicap.—Te Kara and Valkon. Claudelands Highweight Handicap.— Te Koroke and Golden Krist. Clarkin Hack Handicap.—Komak and Kerry Dance. Cambridge Handicap.—Nancy Lee and Kingfield. Hautapu Hack Handicap.—Abbey Queen and Lady's Boy. The Riders A few of the riding engagements made for to-morrow are as follows: J. Cam mick.—Corinax, Respirator, Whaka King. Red Lion and Master Lu.

The acceptances for the opening day’s racing to-morrow are as follows:

There should be some spectacular contests witnessed at Trentham tomorrow and on Monday, for all the best horses, are engaged, and the acceptances for all eight events averages over 20. The Wellesley Stakes is one of the most interesting items on the card for the opening day to-morrow, for it will mark the second appearance of Gold Tinge, the A.J.C. Breeders’ Plate winner. There is a good field in the two big handicaps, in which the class lacjvs nothing. On the second day the Harcourt Cup, li miles, at weiglit-for-age, will be the main attraction, and this, too. should give spectators something to enthuse over. Latest advices from the course suggest that the going will be in good order, but a bit dead. Recent form and track efforts entitle the following to consideration by inves- j tors:— / • First Hurdle Handicap.—Ballyfarnon and Beaumont. Taita Handicap.—Valpre and Royal Line. Wainui Handicap (open).—Cashier and Partaga. Rimutaka Handicap.—Mendip and Tanagra. Wellington Handicap.—Goshawk and Mask. "Wellesley Stakes. —Gold Tinge and Hunting Day. Shorts’ Handicap. Commendation and Lysander. October Handicap.—Royal Lineage and Moutoa Treasury. The Riders The following are some of the riding engagements made for to-morrow: R. Reed.—Hunting Hay, Joy King, Gay Ballerina and Star Stranger (second day). B. H. Morris. —Mask, Partaga, Historic, Push, Panther, Ceremony and either Bright Glow or Benzora in the sprint. L. G. Morris.—Mandane, Royal Flyer, Commendation and Laughing Prince (second day). H. Wiggins.—Shining Armour, Moa Bird, Vigilance, Arrow Boy and Kaha. R. J.

The following are the acceptances for to-morrow: FIRST HURDLES Of £350, 13 rr/iles st. lb. st. lb.

King Smock is being asked to do something big to-morroAV in taking on the best of them in the Cup. But just wait for the second day! He rarely fails to cop at Te and if he does on this occasion then it can be taken as a sure sign that he has finished. * <« * The long straight at Avondale saw Komak finishing strongly on each day. He is far from a good one, is Komak, but the opposition is so weak in his race, the Clarkin Hack, to-morow that one might almost be tempted to invest half a sovereign on liis chance. He has one redeeming feature —and one only—he can finish well. * * • The track at Te Rapa promises to be soft, so here we have Kingfield to repeat his performance last time on this course. He showed good form at Avondale in the heavy ground, finishing third each day Moariri and Silvermine, and neither is engaged on this occasion. It looks really good. * * * Nancy Lee put in a good burst of speed jn the straight the final day at Ellerslie last week, and on that showing she is fast coming into form that enabled her to finish second in the last Railway Handicap. She is not averse to a soft track, either.
