HAWERA TO-MORROW

Hoses In Form Reviewed By “Odds On.” j The Egmont Racing Club open | their summer meeting on Thursday j with splendid fields. Promising ; weather conditions should attract a i large attendance when good racing ' may confidently be expected. The '. following review of the fields which may be of assistance is supplied by •'Odds On.” OHAWE HURDLES, of £l3O. One ipile and a-half. —Beau Star 10.0, Royal Routine 9.11, Don Erma and Bazaine 9.10, Royal Fire, Valroy and King Pluto 9.0. The Ohawe Hurdles is a small field of ordinary jumpers and Beau Star at the top, if ready after his brief spell should fill a place. Don Erma and- Royal Routine, both winners at New Plymouth, should complete the trio. Bazaine run: away and fades out but an improvement may soon ; upset things. However, most appeal comes from ; DON ERMA. ROYAL ROUTINE. BEAU STAR. * * * i FLYING HANDICAP, of £175. Six i furlongs.-—-Wotan 9.0, Notium 8.8, I Refresher 8.2, The Tiger 7.12. Gold

j Mission 7.10, Clessamor, Sl’mcony ! and Moatoa 7.7. I In the Flying Handicap three acI ceptors possets dual engagements • and at this stage the placement offli cer is non-plussed. Clessamor should keep them all moving. With Notium i at top form. Gold Mission in lightly I and The Tiger about ready, an interI esting finish may be seen. Wotan ■ was responsible for a speeticular i gallop at New Plymouth but I commences too slowly. Symcony and j Moatoa do not appeal. Those filling j places may be CLESSAMOR. ' THE TIGER. NOTIUM. * * * TOKAORA HACK HANDICAP, of £l3O. Six furlongs. Erebus 9.0, Rusfem 8.10, Sanhedrin 5.9, Collodion 8.7, Dawning Light B<s, : Cheval de Voice 8.3, Imposture 8.0, I Captain Tudor 7.12, Etiquette, MinI tour and Ohanga 7.7. ‘ The Tokaora Hack is headed by I ; Erebus, fast but usually flighty. ■ I Rustem favours further distances . I but two recent placings over six fur- ; ; longs catch the eye. Collodium could j win if he tried, but Sanhedrin and - I Dawning Light read belter prospects. ! i When a maiden, Cheval de Voice : i was reputed good and in conceding ' Oratory several lengths, earns re- | spect in whatever race saddle! up j for. Imposture and Captain Tudor i are not chanceless. Those securing j places may be I RUSTEM. ; DAWNING LIGHT. SANHEDRIN. ' EGMONT CUP, of £4OO. One mile ! I and a-quarter.—Dungarvan 9.1, Spiral | i 5.9, Lowenberg 8.7, Hazoor 8.6, One- ' I vrhetu 8.3, Taitoru 8.0. Grand Jury ' 17.12, Chief Ranger 7.12, Master Cyk- ' I lon, Tahurangi, Davistock, Tout le I Monde and Windsoreen 7.7. i i The Egmont Cup with 13 acceptors' 1 having a single engagement may see I j a big field from which innumerable ■ J combinations of three may reason- : ; ably be suggested. Possibly Dun- \ I garven and Lowenberg may be the' ' sleet of punters, closely followed oy • j Chief Ranger, Taitoru, Onewhetu and j i Spiral. A study of weights govern- j ing races where several of these run- I tiers have met, reveals Onewhetu, ! with 8.3, a fully justified nominee i for the winning bracket. Spiral like- | I wise commands attention, whereas J • Chief Ranger meets his victims only : i 31b worse, whilst his victory was a i ' convincing effort. Taitoru needs l ' I very little Improvement on His ; j splendid New Plymouth second plac- j ■ ln,gs to secure the prize. Hazoor, > I Grand Jury and MasTer Cyklon are I l reasonable prospects, whilst Davi- I I stock has been racing "with them" I ■ lately, and with Tout le Monde, is : • quite capable of causing a boil over. \ ! Try them thus , ONEWHETU. SPIRAL. CHIEF RANGER. * * * j JUVENILE HANDICAP, of £l2O. | Five furlongs. —Cheval de Volee 9.4, Great Hope 9.3, AH Happiness, Ripple, Trim, Lickem, Gold Band, Fafner, Narrator and Gay Marionette 7.7. ; Places may assist in the Juvenile j Handicap but Cheval de Volee and' I I Great, Hope, even with the weight ■ ’ steadiers, appeal most. Ripple is ;

likely and should she begin smarter may trouble them. All Happiness and Trim are noted improvers whilst. 1 the others are all satisfactory track workers. Place getters may be CHEVAL DE VOLEE. GREAT HOPE. RIPPLE. i NOLAN HACK CUP, of £250. Nine i furlongs.—Brazen King 9 0, Le Grand | 8.13, Bantry 8.13, Convivial 8 13. i The Buzzer 8.5, Student Prince I 8.5, Maestro 8.3, Red Sand I and the Bigot 8.4, Crown 8.6, I International 7.11, Cloudy Bay and | Bonny Glow 7.9, Earl Colossus and i Autumn Leaf 7.8, Master Limond and l Reipar 7.7. i The Nolan Hack Cup presents an i equally difficult' task as the Egmont I Cup. The top five are all good proi spects and form horses, with Le I Grand preferred perhaps, but they j may find a conqueror emerge from : lower down. The Buzzer appears to ! prefer distances, whilst Student ; Prince is held in high regard. Little i notice may be taken of Maestro’s and • Red Saud’s failure at New Plymouth ; first day, both can be relied upon to i produce a better effort. The Bigot i (second) and ICorowa (first) should ' each be very close. International’s i recent placings proclaim his chances j and .given a fair passage, may leal i ; them home. The. remainder all own ' ; to recent placings and must be re- I I spected. Reipar on the weights, if | , really back to form, would be very | troublesome. These weights suggej t INTERNATIONAL. I MAESTRO. I THE BUZZER. j WHAREROA HANDICAP, of £146. : Seven furlongs.—Friesland J).7, Re- ; fresher 9.1. The Tiger 8.11. Gold ’.‘is sion’B 9, Supreme Court and Black Friar 8.0. I The Whareroa Hack Handicap may , see the smallest field of the day. | i Supreme Court sits pretty here. > Gold Mission (if reserved) and Black ' Friar (about ready) may extend him i ' whilst Friesland produced here i V.ould perhaps be first choice. Those . filling places may be SUPREME COURT. FRIESLAND. ; GOLD MISSION, ' ! * * * | WAIPAPA HACK HANDICAP, of ' £l3O. Seven furlongs.—-Sansfoy 9.5, 1 Airing and Export 8.12, Ned Cuttie ! and Sanhedrin 8.10, Calshot .8.9, i Cloudy Bay 7.13, Autumn Leaf 7.12, ; Kia Tere and Missal 7.7. • Defectors in previous events ! would assist selection in the Wai- ■ papa Hack Handicap. Sansfoy has I refused in two previous races, whilst ' Airing dropped out of the Nolan Cup, ' I each thereby providing a guide. Exi port two fine seconds in ! New’ Plymouth and runs on. | N‘/i Cut'j'je may prove betifler 1 here. Sanhedrin deserves support whilst Calshot is suited and due. Cloudy Bay and Autumn Leaf have good prospects but the last two fail to appeal. A pleasant ending may be provided by CALSHOT. NED CUTTLE. CLOUDY BAY.

__ _____ ! “Tell me,” said the ladylike young man in the knickerbocker suit, as he gazed curiously at the bus-driver’s ancient briar, “Does smoking really afford you any pleasure?” “Not ’arf,” replied the bus-driver. “I once smoke-.l I half a pipe of black twist,” confided I I the innocent, “and it —it—” “Turned I you up?” ' said the bus-driver. “It | would!” “Isn’t smoking very injurious?” ventured the youth? “Haven’t noticed it,” said the bus-driver, “but ! there, I always smoke Cut Plug No. I 10. Not a ’apworth of ’arm in that. | It’s toasted —like all the genuwine brands. You start wif cigarettes, Mister. Git some River’ead Gold— i finest cigarette bacca out. No error —then tackle Cavendish, Navy Cut No., 3 (Bulldog), and later Cut Plug No. 10 (Bullshead). See?” “But what’s the good of smoking?” “It’s only the greatest pleasure in life,” said the bus-driver. “I'll really havie to think about’ it/’ <said the ladylike young man, as he climbed down." “That’s right,” said the busdriver, “but don’t think too hard — might make your ’ead ache!
