Spring Meeting. ; Dunedin, Napier Park and Otaki Maori meetings open to-day. The two latter will be concluded on Thursday and the Dunedin gathering on Saturday. Golden Loop is galloping nicely at present and should put his best foot forward at Otaki. ~ , ~ Diabolo is still quoted favorite for the New Zealand Cup. California, Oiyoi and Polymorphous are quoted at a point longer odds. Kotare ran promisingly enough at Wato induce Mr. Matthews to try hfs luck at Otaki. The Taranaki hurdler has been a consistent performer this spring and it is about time he paid a dividend. Jockey W. Young will probably have the mount on Howler at Otaki. iMerry Frank was a treble winner at Blenheim and Glenspring got away with a double. _ Rangihaeta ran well forward at Hastings last week and is reported to be improving with every gallop. Goldsley, a Maiden candidate at Otaki, is said to be a promising sort. Master Sylvia is engaged in the Stewards' Hack Handicap with 8.3 against his name, and it goes without saying that the locally-trained horse will carry a lot of bullion.

The Native recently proved his versatility by winning both a hurdle and a flat "race at Bulls, and he won again over the sticks at Wanganui. His next start will be in the Welter Handicap at Otaki. Waitapu has been awarded 6.13 in the City Handicap, 1% miles, to be run at the A.R.C. spring meeting. '""'* ~ The uncertainty of hurdle I|||fe,#Hf once again shown last week wfifn*tha't good fencer Pikopo came to grief at Hastings. Appin fell at the first hurdle in the straight and Pikopo landed on top of him, breaking his near hind leg. He was subsequently destroyed. Pikopo was a six-year-old gelding by San FranYoung Mira, and carried Mr. W. J. Douglas' colors. Mallet, who has been running well to the front lately, will be amongst the runners at Otaki.
