,' NOTES BY. ■•••MOTU'BOA.". WELLINGTON ANTICIPATIONS. Tho Wellington Racing Club's, ■spring meeting commences to-day, and will be 'continued to-morrow. Wijb such splendid acceptances, only lin<! weather is needed to ensure a most successful i, 'gathering. Thu quality of Hk; fields is exceptionally good, mid punters will have some first-class material to work on. Tub club is ranning u double event toto on thu Wellington Handicap and the Flying Handicap. Tile October Hack Hurdles is the lirsl. event, in which 1 think Taxpayer and South Star have the best | performances to recommend them.! If.! tin' former is as well ns when racing at live National meeting last August one need look no further for the winner. Mack Squall registered n win aI, Marlborough a week or so back, but the opposition was moderate. I like: Taxpayer I. South Siar 2 Mack Squall it The Shorts Handicap has a Held of lit. awl includes some of our fastest sprinters. Marguerite. Prelude, (lawain, and Kudu have 'been seen out at recent meetings, and on form should run prominently. 1 fancy : Prelude 1 Marguerite 2 G a wain 3

The Wellington Handicap will be watched iiilh great interest, as several New Zealand Cup candidates are engaged. This event looks deeidedlj open. The Porirua stable has two representatives, viz., and I'Tamcn; The to|J weight has not been seen **out so far this 'season, and may be better afteii having a race or two. Mahutonga, judging by his Hawkc's Hay performances, 'is not by any means lit yet. However, the racing he has had lately should gave done him a world of good, and 1 think thai, given a good going, Mahutonga will be a hard one t« beat. Signalman and Mack lieynanl nre\ favourably handicapped also Aurnfus and Shrapnel Shell. The latter has disappointed Ids connection lately, but appears to have a partiality for vhe llitt-t: course. The winner may come from Black Itcynunl, Prosscr's ,elect, or Mahutonga. The pi ace-getters may be :

Black Heynurd 1 .Mahal, onga 2 Vrosser'n 'flecl .'1
