NOTES BY "MOTUROA." (By Telegraph.—Special to News.') Hawera, Last Night. The acceptances for the second day are fairly good, and racing should be interesting. The Hawera Stakes should provide a gcod contest between Egypt and Bisogne. The Hawera Cup winner is in tip-top form at present, and is partial to bard going. Analogue made most of the running in the Cup, and, witli Egypt out of the way, may be made the -jtopu'lar choice in the Atkinson Memorial Stakes, run over a mile and a quarter. Tete.a-Tete won very comfortably yesterday with .1.5, and a rise of 81b. should not stop her to-day. Lord Nelson, who has been brought from Marton for. the second day, should run prominently, in the gentleman riders' race. Cora Ora had rather a bad run yesterday, and with a furlong further to go the Inglewood mare should be more prominent to-day. Camp Guard and Vladineau appear to be well treated in their engagements, and May Morn, who showed great pace at Stratford, has only to hop , out smartly to take a hand in the settlement
