NOTES BV "MOTUROA." The win lei- meeting of the Napier Park Racing Club will be bcld to-day and to-morroWj . . The Moteo Hack Hurdles, one mile and three-quarters, is the opening event. Wild Cat, Slccpwcll, Dare Devil and Needlework are in form, judging from their display at the Hawkc's Bay meeting last week. 1 have some regard for Outer. He was beaten, by a neck in the Ladies' Bracelet on the opening day. Outer started second favourite iu the Hack Hurdles the second day,'but came to grief at tne fourth hurdle. If ha clears his obstacles to-day he should be hard to beat. Numa will probably make his debut as a jumper at this meeting, and may be worth watching. 1 shall placeOuter 1 Wild Cat 2 Sleepwcll 3 The Stewards' Stakes, one mile, should provide a race between Rose Madder, Submarine, Assaycr, Full Cry and St. Lyra.
