NOTES BY "MOTUROA." AUCKLAND ANTICIPATIONS. At first glance the above heading would suggest that, "Moturoa" h,id been wafted back •to the bad. old days, when "anticipations" were a leading feature of this column but one hastens to assure readers that tlieso remarks are merely Intended as fair comment on the fields, and prospects of Interesting racing at Ellerslie on the occasion of the ARC Easter meeting, which takes place on Saturday and Monday. This gathering has always been a popular one, and many local sports are looking forward to a renewal of acquaintance with Auckland and Its many charms at holiday time. Unfortunately, Taranaki stables will not be strongly represented at the gathering, but Estlionln. Pure Laziness j|". ono "J" two , others may represent the butter province wllli distinction. Only eleven remain In the Easter Handicap. but .hey are a good, even lot. and a slashing race_ h anticipated on Saturday nc-it Uncle Ned Is a Ann favorite in the Aorthern city, but Gazique, Hymestra, Talarrai and Malolia aro "mllers" that will hare n,^ e „ re(,|to "c. d , lvlth Tho CrMt Northern Champagne Stakes 13 of intorest as likely to produce another duel between Humbu" and Right and Left. ■ A disappointing lo; of fillies remain in the Oreat Northern Oaks and Miss Love may be the best of a mediocre QUlntette. Waimal. Tenacious, and Khartoum appear to be the fittest of the good fields of Jumpers likely to be seen out In tho hurdle and steeplechase events at the meeting Duncdln, Pure Laziness, Esthonla, War Tank and Trespas? are all reported to be in good fettle ror their engagements in the minor handicaps. FEILDTNG FANCIES. The acceptances received for the opening <.ay of the Feilding .Jockey Club's Easier meeting are fairly numerous, hut tho principal flat events, the Cup and Maneaonc Hand cap, might have tilled better. The absence of such horses as Battle Song, First Salute Maioha. Hetaua. Siiponides, and Rwaneo River wul rob the gathering of considerable Interest, but these heavy scratehlnss must be expected where meetings clash, as at holiday t mes. Client, Bonnie Maid, Red Ribbon Nobleman. Marquetcur, Moutoa Ivanova Risngham, Imarlbhon, etc, hold their mund In the Cup, while Inah, Jutland. All Over, Eg mont Park, and others have been paid up for la Hie sprint event. Itislngham, Client and Nooleman ore likely to be well supported In the longer race, and if Itislngham Is saddled up he should he a hot farorlte winners engaged In the Mangaone Slakes include Egmont Pork, All Over, and Swr-n Memory, and the winner may be concealed In that trio. The layers are so used to wagerin# on biff fields that many refuse to do b«;s'ness on the Feilding double, and one rash Bar Von lias Issued cards on the Cup and open Welter. The lessons taught at Bulls last week go to prove that small fields do not always mean easy picking, but the layers take no chance, though tho taking of chances is alleged to be their "long suit.' ' No fault however, can ho found wllh the fields Iri the minor events Tho Kawnkawa Hurdles Handicap has attracted a nice crowd of fourteen, Including recent winners like Movemnnt Maraetotara, Coldstream, and All Talk. Ths performances of Coldstream hare been raosr Impressive Twenty-four remain In the Maiden, Including Prodigal, Rhckhead and The Digger. Prodigal allowed improved form laat week, and should run prominently Fourteen have been paid up for in the Onepuhl Hack Welter, and if Risingham goes to the ;ost the "heads'' will not have him beaten In his absence Simon, Catallni. and Wli'z Bang would all appear to have a chance Of tie nlno engaged In llie Taonul Hack Handicap nothing rends better than Empyrean though Miss Love and Utmvai also'h»v e recent form In their favor Fourteen is 'he main in tho Ongo Hack Handicap, and Tempo Bl'ddy. and Quiniro look, the pick of tilHunch. Scratching may reduce the fcur'.cen in tho Halcombe Welter, especially if Klneem is paddled up Outside the ForHl f.'er, Borealls and Ltagerlei would appear to have a chance. TAHANAKI TROTS.

As far as Taranaki Is concerned wi have to thapk the Walmnte Plains. Trotting Club for the very enjoyable race gatherings 'served up at Eftster on past occasions, and all are looking forward to another successful gathering on the Hawera racecourse next Monday Special trains and excursion fares; big fields and horses of class; and tho prospects of"lnteresting racing should prove a great draw The Walmate Plains Club is leaving no stone unturned to provido for the pleasure of pntrons, and a record gathering is anticipated Lending relnsmen and first-class horses nvo coming from all parts of Die Dominion, nitricted by the big staket offered, and tii.'- importunity of scolng such horses as Wnvrr- . Whist, Strategy, Prinnorn, Temple etc In action should not he missed. Exceptionally big fields are carded for nil events, and a good day's sport, awalls patrons. ODD ite:.is. M. McCarten will ride Client in the Feilding Cup It will be Interesting to see how <h< Pordell horse goes with McCarten, as he takes a lot of humoring to make him do his erst "Charlie" Price, ills old pilot, is dolii" well in the ptibbery line, which l« much more profitable than race riding. farce shaped poorly In her only start at Hulls, and has probahly heen sent to Ayckl.-nd only as a companion for Rose fluee i. ]f Fires ran win at Ellerslie tlicy will bo a very poor lot.

Klr.aem won an easily each day at «\i;igariiil that 8 A appears to be a iuvunous weight In the Halcoinhe Welter at Fetldlng. Trainer D. Moraghan took Irapuka 011 from Bulls to Pallding yesterday morning. "Jimmy" DNelll also took Qulniro down. The lacier looks none the worse for Inst week's cnf'ens, and Is likely to run well at Fel'd'n" The conditions attached to the Mald-n Hack Handicap at the Rangltlkel meeting hove ghe:. rise to considerable argument, and lwliy nc...! amending, or "half-soleing" or something. As stated in the card the rnco is "for ii,)rr.?s that haye neyer won an advertised stalio exceeding 25 sovs. at time of starting." Owners like Mr Jas Bull, jttnr, and Jfr, ,7 Br'.-e were tripped into paying nomination and acceptance fees for Yankee Jack and Hautawa tespertlyely. relying upon the generally understood rule that maiden flat racers' were horses that had not won on the flat. ' Horc-H-er, both these horses had won oyer hurdleand after being weighed out they were reci'.ed to the paddock and their engagements cancelled The winner turned up In p'-iim who had won 30 soys for second place in the Pukenui Hack Welter on the first day R.-re again an argument cropped up. As far as this scribe can And the Rules of linelng i!n not define the word "stake," but the rub i't.parently relied upon the definition of tl»> word "winning," which includes only flvsl BtakeS.
