NOTES AND ANTICIPATIONS.

By " MoTi'noA," The Easter .Racing Carnival eom meuccs today with Auckland and Wairarapa meetings and will be continued on Monday. At no less than ten different places race meetings arc to'.b.e held on Monday, so that the sporting community will be well catered for during the next few days. At Aucklaurt business will commence with the Tradesmen's Handicap, one mile and a-ijuarler, in which ten aro set down to take part. The placing may be Nervine • ... 1 Rose Madder 2 Master Delaval ... ... 3 Ironmonld figures in the above race, but may be reserved for the Easter Handicap, but if started, I think he will win.

To pick the winner is rather a difficult matter. Gladstone has incurred a .penalty which brings his impost up to 8.11, Nevertheless he must pussess a great chance of securing the prize.

If Ijonmould had regained his old Australian form I would look no further tor the wiuner, as a mile is, I think, his favorite distance. To sum up I will place Marguerite 1 Lady Annie 2 Tc Aroha 3 To effect a surprise I will lake Mobility. In the Brighton Hurdles, two miles, the places may be filled by Lady|Hune 1 Tahae 2 Vexation 3 The Eden Handicap is the next race on the programme and in it I like Carl Rosa 1 Avalanche 2 Bonomiana 3 The Pony race may be won by Miss Cuirassier or Lady Nauuic.
