The l'radesman's Handicap, one mile and s a quarter, is the opening event, for j which a Held' of 13 are paid up. Certainty, Lady Ihme, Tulelka, Idas j and Sir Gilead should run well, and . the finish may be j Certainty 1. n Lady llune 2, Tuleika 3.

The Xortherli Champagne Stakes, .iix furlongs, will probably be a contest between Delaware, Annetter., Multifid, Booiiirorang and Cart Rosa. Mr Stead's representative, Delaware, is a good colt and is sure to take a lot ol' heating. Sporting critics, who were present at Avomlalo, aver that Annette will be very dangerous, and express an opinion that she will lower Mi- Stead's colours. Annette is a full sister to the Lady Annie, and won her races with tho greatest ease at the Avondalc Meeting the other week, but she will find the Champagne Stakes company will keep her moving. Mi- I>. O'Brien's colt, Multifid, is 'one I haivo a liking for, csjMicially if as well as at Christmas, when he scored in the Visitors' Plate and acted as runner up to Sungod and Noqtuiform In the Oreat Northern Foal Stakes and Royal Stakes. Boomerang, the Howke's Bay representative, sliewod plenty of pace in the Spring and is reported to be in capitul nick. The following placing of the judge may bo

Delaware 1. Annette 2, Multilid 3. A large field of 24 figure in the Blister Handicap, one mile, which on paper appears very open. Nearly all those engaged have earned distinction this season. Paritutu, Regulation, Stralhavon, Full Cry, Auratus and liady Annie are hall' a dozen I have great respect for, ahd to make a selection I will take Lady Annie U Auratus 2, Pari tutu 3. Thcie is n scarcity of jumpers npirarently, ns only 7 have accepted fur the Brighton llurJUs, 2 nnl;s, ior whfqh I like Doloros, lnnuikiliin, Irish, in the order named. The two top weights in tlio Eden Handicap, seven furlongs, have an engagement in the Easter, and the same applies also to Delanau and Chola. I .vein, on Avondale running, should be hard to beat; Southern Cross is making his debut on t'he Kllerslie course, and may llnd the going suit him. The finish may be Lyciu, Oeordie, Austerlitz. Tn the Onslow Stakes, five furlongs | i .o.ret or Luresomp a])pear to possess a winning chance. r ih« winner of the Pony Handicap | may Come from Oirton Girl, Lucreece, Orange and Blue.
