AXTICIIWI'IoXS. < l!y "Moturoa." RAXDWICK LARXIYAI.. The Kaster Tlacinu Carnival in Sydney will be commenced to-day at Randwick, when the Australian Jockey (-'bib open their Autumn Meetim.'. The principal item of interest ill to-day's programme is the Donenstor Handicap, of one mile, which is likely to In l contested bv a hirjre field. The Queensland representative", lioval lllne (llucklhorpe—My Niilyl has been credited with iiy'some "swallow eatchin";" pillops on the track ditriiif; the season, and has also put up some really jroofl performances in public. To hazard a selection I will name Virtu. C'ollarit, and Royal Blue to supply the winner. The meeting will lie continued on Monday, when the Sydney Cup is set down for decision. * Dividend is top-

weight with 9.5. And he may be ex pected to run a good race. The winne may come from Dyed Garments, Divi den'd or iSlue Spec. A.P..C. MEETING.

One mile: Wirrnl or Golden Cairn. Soekbuin Handicap. l'/i miles: Submarine or Lapland. PEILDIXG. Considering the liberal slakes offered by the Feilding Jockey Club, it is surprising that the fields for the Autumn Jleeting, which commences on Monday, are not larger. The reason may be attributed to the fact that so many race meetings will be held throughout the colony on that day. My fancies for the various events are as follows: 12.0—Mangaone Stakes Six furlongs: Full Rate or Delumere. 12.40—Trial Plate. Seven furlongs: Speciosa or Lady Storm. I.2o—Kawa Hurdles. About two miles: Gold Dust or Handsome Rose. .I.o—Hack Hurdles. 1% miles: Southern Cioss or Bonhenr. 2.so—Feilding Cup. l'/i miles: Douche or Bourrasipie. 3.3o—Onepuhi Welter. One mile: Routine or Moloch. 4.lo—Halcombe Welter. Seven furlongs: Polyanthus or Jlakikihi. 4.50—0ng0 Hack. About 5 furlongs: Little Mary or Kaiuku.

WAIRARAPA. The Easter Racing Carnival in New Zealand opens with the Wairarapa Club's Autumn Meeting, which commences to-day, and will be 'continued on Monday. The acceptances are good, ami winners will be rather difficult to find. The following is my selection for today:— 12.0—Hack Hurdle: Te Kaiutii or Oryx. 12.40—Maiden Hack: Strathcona or Waloch. I.2o.—Kasler Handicap: Regulation or Mahuta. 2.o—Hack Welter: Mataari or Lebeeicio. 2.4o.—Wangiinoana Handicap: llalley or Noteorini. 3.2o—Nursery Handicap: Miss Vera or Swallow. 4.O.—Wardell Handicap: Platypus or Mahuta. 4.40. —Makahi Handicap: Armamcnto or Strathlillan PATEA.

Taranaki sports will no doubt wend their way to Patea on Easter Monday, where the Patea Racing Club have provided an interesting programme ' for -their annual meeting, and a good day's spoil may be expected. A special train will leave New Plymouth at 11.30 a.m., arriving at Patea in ample time for the first race. The following selection may supply some of the winners: 11.30—Handicap Hurdles. 1% miles: Tonderghie or Showman. 12.10—Flying Handicap. Six furlongs: Silver Lead or Somali. 12.40—Farmers' Plate. One mile: Te Kuiti or Regard. I.4o—Easter Handicap. I'/, miles: Stayboy or Toddy. 2.2o—Kakaramea' Stakes. 4'/, furlongs: St. Maria or St. Helliers. 3.o—Borough Stakes. Seven furlongs: Silver Lead or Integrity. 3.4o—Alton lligli-weighl. ' One mile: The Dane or ToddY. 4.lo—Final Stakes. 4'/ 3 furlongs: Catapult or St. Maria.

King Billy received injuries during his trip to Auckland which may prevent him from starting in Easter Handicap on Monday. Should he start it is considered unlikely that the Merriwee colt will be able to do himself justice" ill that event. This is most unfortunate for Mr. E. .1. Watt, as the horse was considered tu have an excellent chance of winning the big event.
