The totalißator iwlia win be ring, ing at six different centres today, the meetings of local iiKereat being , Stratford, Grey mouth, and tbe Horowhenua Club, at the naw raca~ course, Levin. Some KOod fieldl ISpear on the card for the Hor»«i>»nua gathering. Clem look* as good as anything in the Trial, six furlongs. The Porirua-t rained Maui should take % power of beating la the Flying, which I* talno a six Airlong sprint. Maui was beaten by a short head by I'rotAy Maid in Uw iMatarawa Hack at Wanganui. aad

many who saw the race consider ht would have won had not hi* rider, Oliver, token things too waibi The Hurdle Race, one mile and at half, should btf a good go. Wind, Repylse, and Exmoor should ha*» a hand in the finish. Tho lattorshaped well for a beginner at ouriuoctr ing in February, and will be mora confident at the game by now. I will take him to win, with Wind „ next beet. | The Horowhenua Cup, one mila lund a quarter, may result in : Uold Crown 1, Rapids 2, Sundsh 3. The two forraor ran well forward at Wanganul. I In the Shorts Handicap, four furlongs, The Seer, Hedgemoor, Coxswain, and Hukaaka are vdl in. Hukaaka will probably be tho bard- , est to beat. I The St. Patrick's Welter may be won by Guelder Row or Maul, | Ngatarua has a handy import in I the Park Stake*, wren furlong*, and • oil recent form should hav;e no difficulty In downing the opposition. | The Electric Handicap, live furlongs. brings the Iflrst day's pro'gramme to a close. Purneuux, HuUaaku. aud The Beer may In- north watching. The Uroymouth meeting will be o! interest to local turfites from the fuel of Cuirngorm being n competitor. He figures ton w-elghl in Ihn Triul Handicap, six furlongs, and as tho opposition is not very brilliant should reader a good account at himself. tleiieral entries are due for (lie Avondale Jockey Club's autumn meeting. i ■ ' —- I
